Hard Hitting, Strong Gripping (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781507505953)

Aggressiveness is a strong character trait that is to be embraced as the core value of any respectable martial artist. It is not something to be avoided or ashamed of. Aggressiveness does not equate to cruelty or misuse of skill. Although it is possible for a smaller well-trained and intelligent person to prevail against a bigger and stronger opponent, or against a not-as-smart adversary, it is a tough uphill battle. A force that is strong and focused is difficult to defeat. Willpower and intent to avoid domination by others may therefore be the ultimate live-saving strategy. You will increase your ability to hit hard when you practice hard-hitting impact techniques against dead targets, such as mitts, bags, and boards. But a problem is that dead targets don't hit back. Timing, chaos, and ability to control fear and pain must therefore be practiced against a resisting partner who returns the offense. Whether training for competition, a general education on the fighting arts, or realistic combat at close range, to gain an edge, you must train with intent and intensity. Formidable Fighter: The Complete Series, a compilation of all 14 books in this series, is available in both electronic and print format.
