Description
The Fighting Staff is a modern illustrated guide to using one of man's oldest weapons. Dwight McLemore draws on techniques from Asian and European martial arts throughout history to provide an eclectic approach to staff fighting, covering essentials such as footwork, grip, strikes, thrusts, blocks, and targeting. This workbook offers 25 step-by-step fighting drills for the martial arts staff, accompanied by beautifully executed drawings that illustrate how your actions correlate with those of your training partner or opponent. The unique "floating staff" perspective allows you to see how your weapon moves in relation to yours, making it a valuable resource for advanced training. The techniques taught in this book can be applied not just to the staff, but also to other weapons, making it a versatile guide for martial artists.
