The Art and Science of Stick Fighting is a comprehensive guide to mastering the art of stick fighting. With a unique, non-style specific approach, this book provides a streamlined curriculum of nine logical stages of training, allowing readers to quickly and methodically learn and develop the skills needed for fighting with the stick.

Whether you're just starting out or have been practicing stick fighting for years, there's something for everyone in this book. It features over 700 photos with motion arrows, as well as systematic workouts and descriptions of how to make and use specific training equipment. The author's thirty years of martial experience brings a comprehensive and methodical approach to building stick fighting skills.

The book begins with the basics, including a stable stance, basic footwork, and an effective guard, before progressing to different types of strikes and how to practice them in helpful patterns. The aim is to grow so comfortable wielding a stick that it becomes an extension of your body.
