Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those of you who have experience in grappling and striking, but do not know quite how to put it all together, this book may be for you. From the beginning to the end, "An Introduction to MMA" verbally and visually illustrates how to combine common techniques from boxing, kickboxing, and grappling into a single art - mixed martial arts. The text focuses on basic to intermediate striking combos, striking to takedown combos, and even grappling combos (submission chaining), not to mention addressing a few other areas as well. Boxing combos lead into takedowns, which lead into submissions or ground and pound, sometimes both, as you work through this text. Aimed at helping you put together techniques you already know, "An Introduction to MMA" does not spend a lot of time reviewing the basics from each art, but instead focuses on what techniques from each art flow together. Therefore, if you have a basic knowledge of boxing, kickboxing, or both, and a bit of grappling under your belt, this manual may be able to help you take your skills to the next level, or at least improve what you do know. Either way, you are in for an informative and entertaining read. HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over ten years people have come across Al Case's monstermartialarts website. They have read his attack on the martial arts and wondered if the criticisms had anything to do with their art. 'Surely not MY precious art.' In this book, 'Martial Arts 101: How to Fix the Martial Arts, ' Al finally gets specific. He goes through the moves of the martial arts, pointing out EXACTLY what is wrong with the martial arts. He assesses the physical form as it is set up in such arts as Gojo, Shotokan and other styles of karate. He lays bare theories from esoteric kung fu systems, delving into all manner of mental thought, and he fixes the martial arts.Or, rather, the student who reads this book will be able to fix his own art.The book consists of 101 chapters. It starts with the basics, travels through techniques, into forms, and then lays bare the problems of the human mind. What are the martial arts? Where do they go? What happens to the character of a person who studies the martial arts through the years? In this book incorrect practices are fixed, which will result in a faster learning pace. Myths are exploded, which will 'de-confuse' the student and make his art that much more effective.This is NOT a book of techniques. It has many hints and tips, drills and exercises, but the real aim is to clean out the student's mind, to 'defragment' his art, and make the martial arts highly superior to what they are.A person who reads this book will not be held back by the incorrect training methods of the past, and he will have a sure path that will lead directly to the higher abilities that the martial arts have to offer.Of course it all hinges on one, simple factor: the student being able to put aside what those who have gone before have told him, and to actually learn something.The book is simple, but the process of reading it, impacting the martial arts as it does, is a difficult one.About the author Al Case began martial arts in 1967. He has studied, and usually many different systems, Kenpo, Karate, Wing Chun, Aikido, Ton Too Northern Shaolin, Fut Ga Southern Shaolin, Pa Kua Chang, Tai Chi Chun, Indonesian weapons, and much more.He eventually became a writer for the martial arts magazines, including his own column in Inside Karate.He formulated 'Matrixing, ' which is a complete logic, and the first science of the martial arts.He formulated 'Neutronics, ' a complete philosophy of the martial arts based on the science of matrixing.He has written over a hundred training manuals, and produced hundreds of hours of martial arts videos.His works include a five column work on Matrix Karate, a five volume encyclopedia of Karate, and a ten volume Encyclopedia of the martial arts (The Biggest Martial Arts Lesson).He is the webmaster of Monster Martial Arts
