The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points: The Science and Techniques of Pressure Point Fighting - Defend Yourself Against Pressure Point Attacks!

Although I have read the works of Patrick McCarthy and Erle Montaigue, I was often left with more questions than when I started. While it does help to have a basic/general TCM knowledge prior to reading this book, Mr. Cardwell offers a step-by-step breakdown to simplify one's understanding of pressure point striking. Citing reference material from both Eastern and Western methodologies, Mr. Cardwell delivers a comprehensive analysis designed to streamline tactics and strategy for pressure point applications. There are not many meridian pictures. Therefore I recommend having a meridian chart/diagram alongside as you read. Also, Mr. Cardwell does mention in the beginning of his book to begin on part 2 if you are not familiar with TCM. I strongly recommend the reader follow his advice.

I liked it

The meat and potatoes is in the back for advanced karate practitioners

the best training book i ever read. to add to what i already no

This book is similar to other books on pressure point fighting. It shows the common ground in the different styles with a variation that makes them all so different. That's just my observation. If anyone sees differently, feel free to post your observation. I don't know everything, but I love reading and studying the martial arts for discipline, fitness and self defense.

Kick a guy in the crotch, poke him in the eye, neck hit. Basically it discusses techniques that are common sense.

Interesting. Too bad Trias books are not easily available these days, for the katas.

Product was exactly as advertised and arrived ahead of schedule. I will buy from this seller again.
