Championship Streetfighting- Boxing As A Martial Art

Championship Streetfighting

Boxing As A Martial Art:

• Review:: 'Fairly useful/extremely biased. Championship Streetfighting does have it's merits offering some good insight on body mechanics and mindset but comes off with a terrible biased, almost thuggish undertone. First I'll start with the good. The book goes through a good variety of punching mechanics and some simple combos. Covering the ranges of attacks even, it does help you visualize how and when to execute the punches as well as text with no pictures and crude drawings can. Every topic from stance, defence, dirty fighting and even a controlled, agressive mindset are convered, most followed by a little anecdote about the "old greats" backing up there effectiveness. Overall it is a complete, street adapted guide to boxing techniques. It's no frills, straight forward fighting that a dedicated, fit person could employ as defence within months of training unlike many martial arts. On the downside there are some things that I could have done without. First and foremost is the tough guy attitude that the book carries. It completely detracts from the boxing as a "martial art" statement. It's more like boxing for brawlers. Nothing against the book itself but it could really turn away the average person who wants to learn to protect himself and his family rather than fight in the streets like a gladiator. Secondly is the ridiculous, uninformed statements it makes against other arts. The author makes a crack at a karate reverse punch but then shows a photo of someone in side stance throwing a regular tsuki (punch), which is a training excercise for the legs and core not a sparring technique. I'd like to point out that a reverse punch is exactly the same fundamentally as the straight right in boxing (rear arm, small shift forward, hip rotation etc...). Criticizing martial arts for their basic training excercises that you learn in the first 3 months (but never stop doing because basics are important remember) to develop your basic body mechanics is just plain uneducated. One of the hardest punchers ever was a karateka, Mas Oyama. The stories are a bit much also, documenting boxing matches so old they are near folklore in many cases. On a technical level, the only thing I can fault it for is the surface area he recommends punching with, which is the last three knucles on the hand. Not only only are the two last smallest, most breaking knuckles backed by the some the smallest most breakable bones in the hand (no wonder he's afraid to punch bare handed throughout the book), it also spreads the impacts across your fist taking away much of the punche's penetration. Hitting with the first 2 knuckles is much stronger, safer and with better impact penetration. Also he could talk a bit more about relaxing and breathing which, will help your power, stamina and state of mind in an encounter. Again, the book does what it says 99% but it could have been more tasteful in it's approach.
• Review:: 'Concise, informative, and entertaining I highly recommend this book for anyone who is looking for some practical advice about self-defense. The author's instructions on how to punch effectively and how to defend against punches and other kinds of attacks are clearly and straightforwardly presented. At the same time, the book makes for an entertaining read given the anecdotes from boxing history Beaumont includes.
• Review:: 'Simply the Best This book is terrific. No bragging or boasting on the author's exploits. Just plain and simple fighting techniques. Meat and potatos of a fight. I've read alot of fighting books and this takes the cake. Every page is useful and practical info. Beaumont explains boxing techniques in an easy and logical manner. The great thing about this book is it explains boxing alone, and/or boxing techniques to use on the street. I wish I had bought this book 2 years ago before wasting money on those "Animal" [MacYoung]Create? books.
• Review:: 'Boxing trainer I am a boxing trainer and historian, I collect boxing training manuals and this is one of the most useful ones I have in my collection. Many of the techniques in this book I use when I teach my people how to fight, excellent information and presented in a logical manner.
• Review:: 'BEST BOOK I HAVE READ ON THE SUBJECT TO DATE I have only ever wrote 1 other review on Amazon and that was on a Wing Chun History book. I feel compelled to write this one for the same reason. The book's critics are completely missing the point and seems to be carrying another personal agenda. This book is a wealth of information in one place. He writes about what boxing methods can do in a "street' fight and how to do it. He does this very well and it's funny to boot. Did he copied others? Are we talking about plagiarism? Frankly these comments are banal, or do I mean anal? Writing about other great men's ideas or treating them in different ways aren't copying. Newton wrote, if I have seen further than other men, it's by standing on shoulders of giants. Of course I am not comparing Beaumont's book to the Principia, I am just saying that distilling knowledge and wisdoms of others and then re-writing them in an accessable ways for new readers isn't a crime. Having said that, I hold this book in high regard and have recommended it to many people interested in improving his ability to fight with his hands. I don't really care if he could fight or not. The book is a great introduction to the practical side of boxing. I have collected and read hundreds books and instructional videos on training and fighting over 30 years. That's one of the reasons why my wife doesn't speak to me. I have yet read a more readable book on this subject. I wrote my other review for the same reason. The author did a good job but for some reasons some people just wouldn't read it for what it is but feels that it's some veiled attacks on their beliefs. As for the Muai Thai vs Boxer etc arguments, anyone who has any REAL experience will confirm that it isn't the style you are fighting , but the man. It's not a boxing "bible". It contains a lot of great info to improve your fighting knowledge or skills. You may not agree with all of Beaumont's views but does that detract from the book's value? A despairingly large number of books on self defense, martial arts and fighting are completely devoid of any real contents. Their only purpose seems to be making the authors cash or continue brain wash the masses. Don't take my or anyone's word for it. Read it. It's a short and inexpensive book, unlike one reviewer's constant reference to Dempsey's book which, if I had US$500, I would buy and will ensure the continual silence from my wife, but I am certain that if you are an average joe who wants to pick up a few useful hints about fisticuffs, you will enjoy this book. You might even take up boxing.

Art of Shaolin Kung Fu- The Secrets of Kung Fu for Self-Defense Health and Enlightenment (Tuttle Martial Arts)

Art of Shaolin Kung Fu

The Secrets of Kung Fu for Self-Defense Health and Enlightenment (Tuttle Martial Arts):

• Review:: 'A good fiction type book being sold as a reference on Martial arts or Kung Fu Hi, This book is a good pictorial representation of some of the concepts of some of the Chinese Martial arts. Not necessarily Kung Fu - Least Shaolin Kung Fu. It is refreshing and entertaining to read the material with accompanying pictures as a fictional novel. But as far as the knowledge on Kung Fu or Martial Arts is concerned it has very very little to offer in that area. The book is written in good and simple English. However it lacks the scientific approach, the thoroughness and completeness required for any Martial Arts or Kung Fu reference book. In fact the book does not have even 1 % knowlege on the traditional Shaolin Kung Fu ! The book tries to demonstrate a lot of techniques as Kung Fu techniques but their overall applicability from this book is only fictional (not real). For a serious martial arts student or a Shaolin Kung Fu seeker the book is of a very little value.
• Review:: 'Please read this full message if you have any previous martial arts knowledge There are many good kung fu books, however, this isn't one of them. If you think the book is interesting, it may be because the lack of knowledge you have about martial arts. Try beating a street fighter with those movements and see what happens. On one of his web sites, Wong Kiew kit advice how to beat a boxer by using two Shaolin Kung Fu patterns, the supposed boxer throws some passive punches, then Wong Kiew Kit beats him by constantly repeating two patterns until the boxer is beaten. This is a weed-smoke fantasy, a boxer would bravely come over you throwing a bunch of direct, jab and uppercut punches until you fall unconscious, as well as a street fighter. You won't be able to defend yourself with the movements in this book, overall, you can't learn to fight from a book, you need to constantly practice your defenses and attacks in order to make them unconscious reactions, you can't think: "oh, I need to use the mirror pattern" when you are in the middle of a fight, you need unconscious reactions. In this publication, Wong Kiew Kit himself says that you can not learn to fight from a book. Also, the author is incompetent to remark how dangerous it may be to apply the pattern named "poisonous snake shoots venom". Someone without previous martial arts knowledge may think it's okay to use that as an attack, apparently it is just "one more attack" listed in the book, however, someone can get into big trouble or can even hurt (if not kill) a friend because of the author's incompetence to explain how dangerous a strike on the neck can be.
• Review:: 'Great General Overview This is a great backgrounder on the subject of Shaolin Kung Fu and on how to recognize and zero in on your own approach to learning and training. Don't expect it to be annotated reference work, but rather a general history and exposition, which is quite a lot for any book on a topic as vast as Shaolin Kung Fu. Historical exactitude is not always the order of the day as you read this, but generally speaking, it reflects the veteran Chinese understanding of Shaolin, which is way better than you would typically get otherwise, plus a reasonably accurate historical view, nonetheless. Not utterly engrossing 100% of the time, but more like 80%, which is still very good. As this book attempts to demonstrate, Shaolin Kung Fu is deceptively deep and complex in an unraveling, level-by-level way. For some, it is too deep, or too physical, or too hard (as opposed to too soft), and so it's good to look into it a bit before plunging into all that sweat and mabu hurt and aching shins. Part of the problem with taking up something as difficult as Shaolin is that the levels may not really seem to make sense to you. That is why you need a good understanding of what you expect to get out of it. Schools have two dimensions: 1) making money, and 2) teaching a life-enriching martial art. No school can focus on just one, so if the school/teacher strikes a good balance, this is often the best sign. For anyone contemplating taking up Shaolin, start here amidst your kwoon window shopping phase. And take comfort in the fact that Shaolin encompasses so much of probably everything you ever liked about martial arts in the first place, within its own bottomless, broad curriculum. This is due to the "martial arts college" nature of the Temple throughout it's long history. Also understand that Shaolin is an excellent starting place for most any martial arts study, no matter where you eventually may end up. All martial arts, while they were not always invented at Shaolin Temple per se--some Indian fighting arts actually predate the Shaolin Temple, just as Shaolin Kung Fu's "founder" Da Mo was himself an Indian Buddhist monk--nontheless, all were at least most probably preserved by the Temple monks, as well as honed and perfected there over time. Most Chinese martial arts (and thus Japanese and Korean) thus tend to owe the Temple due as their mother in some sense or another. Certainly everything the West understands to be "martials arts" was shaped or preshaped there into what it currently is today. This book goes into quaint legends and explications of how and why kung fu survived the way it has, thanks to the Shaolin Temple's supervision and care.
• Review:: 'Very informative and well done work! A+++++++++++ A MUST HAVE FOR MARTIAL ARTIST. I LEARNED QUITE A BIT FROM THIS BOOK AND I AM NOT MORE THAN HALF WAY THROUGH. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
• Review:: 'VERY GOOD! This is perhaps one of the best kung fu books you can buy! For a lone practitioner, it is a great "manual" for developing your Kung Fu training and objectives. Well pleased.
