Download or read book The Forgotten Art of Fighting Against Multiple Opponents written by Luis Preto and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the distant times of ferocious open field battles to the most basic and oldest self defence scenario of having to face gangs of robbers, mankind has always been daunted by the need to overcome larger groups of opponents. Being Jogo do Pau the only living European Martial Art with an unbroken lineage, the systematization presented of its skills for outnumbered combat establishes a bridge between present and past, allowing for a better understanding of both technique and tactics found in other European Fencing schools, such as the German and Italian. The Doebringer manuscript is a clear example of this, through statements such as "make sure, that they can't get at you all at once" ... "that you quickly attack the ones on the outer ends, before the others turn against you, then they will have to turn after you since you are leading. Then you can well notice, when it is or is not save to move away from the opponent and then leap away from him as I say. There is no hurt or disgrace to run away from four or six." The additional analysis regarding shorter one handed weapons such as the baton and walking cane make this document unique and extremely valuable for anyone interested in both the historical and practical side of martial arts for self defence.

Download or read book Understanding Physical Conditioning written by Luis Preto and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being one of the most talked about areas within sports training, physical conditioning continues to rattle most trainees. With the four traditional categories of flexibility, speed, strength and endurance being subdivided into what sometimes seems to be a never-ending number of training variables, athletes find it extremely difficult and confusing to manage so many variables within their limited training schedule. Contrary to this ever so common approach to physical conditioning, this book presents readers with a multidisciplinary perspective in which physical conditioning is merged with the anatomical and physiological analysis of human movement. This interaction results in an innovative and surprisingly practical understanding of physical conditioning's categories and training methods, namely by: - Reducing the topic of physical conditioning to its true three components; - Explaining how these components can easily be trained together with sport specific training using a two factor or single factor training model; - Conveying a practical understanding of how physical abilities' training stimulus should vary qualitatively between different sports as well as quantitatively over the course of training. Furthermore, knowing that the coaching community is mostly comprised of people who, despite their passion, lack the time and background to go through numerous complex articles on scientific research, this book's straight forward analysis, easy writing as well as practical examples and exercises, enable it to answer the sporting community's long-lasting doubts with unmatched precision and simplicity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this concise guide to unarmed combat and self-defence is a legend. W. E. Fairbairn (1885-1960) spent over thirty years in the tough environment of the Riot Squads of China's Shanghai Municipal Police. In order to lower levels of Police mortality at the hands of Chinese Tongs, he studied ancient Chinese and Japanese martial arts, including Ju-jitsu, and was the first foreigner to be awarded a black belt in the discipline. He developed his own system which he called 'Defendu'. At the outbreak of the Second World War, he was recruited by Britain's Special Operations Executive as an Instructor in unarmed combat and expounded the deadly mysteries of attack and defence to scores of trainee agents about to be dropped into occupied Europe. His methods were approved and officially adopted throughout the British army. Fairbairn also developed weapons and defence aids such as bullet proof vests. He is best known as the co-inventor of the famous Sykes-Fairbairn knife. In this book he expounds his distilled experience of unarmed combat. Fully illustrated, it shows how to deliver deadly blows with hand, fist, knee and boot; wrist, bear- and strangle holds (and how to break them); how to throw an enemy, and how to break their backs; how to disarm a pistol-wielding attacker; and securing a prisoner. The book also contains a chapter on the use of the rifle in close combat by Captain P. N. Walbridge.
