Mordred's Victory & Other Martial Mutterings: The Collected Martial Arts Articles of Jamie Clubb (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798501056817)

"Jamie Clubb is a polymathic writer with enthusiasm, insight and great talent- read his book!" - Robert Twigger, author of Big Snake, The Extinction Club, Red Nile and the award-winning Angry White Pyjamas

"I read a lot and this for me is one of the best martial arts books I have ever read. I highly recommend this book and I personally feel will be the start of something very special for Jamie. If I were to liken Jamie to anyone I would call him the "Seth Godin of Martial Arts". This is a brilliant read for the martial arts and self defence enthusiast." - Andrew Holland, author of Defeat Any Attacker

"If you want to read a book that causes you to ponder, question, and investigate the broad variables of martial arts, then Jamie Clubb's book fits the bill. Don't expect to agree with everything Jamie says. He is going to shake up some of your core martial art beliefs." - Andrea Harkins, author of The Martial Arts Woman and Martial Art Inspirations for Everyone

"Personally, I have a great enthusiasm for Instructors who are able to produce thought provoking and well written articles on the key issues and concepts of the combat world and articulate the reality behind what many people often over-simplify when it comes to translating traditional martial arts to conflict situations. 'Mordred's Victory' has a wider brief, however, than just dealing with practical issues and covers a host of key issues, especially the teaching of children - an area I know Jamie is passionate about. I recommend this book to anyone with a real interest in martial arts and self protection, training, or teaching." - Peter Consterdine, 9th Dan Karate, author of Streetwise and co-founder of the British Combat Association

"Remember a time when you have to take a class or subject with which you are not familiar and find it really hard? You fear that no matter what you do, you won't be able to do well in it. But miraculously you get a teacher who explains things like they are a story. You enjoy yourself, get entertained and before you know it you have learned things. You have memorized facts and figures. I felt the same way when I finished reading this book. Once started I couldn't put it down" - Rida Sajid, The Online Book Club official review

"Masterful Insights from a Wandering Warrior. Jamie Clubb is a master of his art. Unfortunately he doesn't hold the title master because his journey has been more classical than traditional. Throughout his training he has always tried to find the most practical, easiest to learn and effective way of fighting. Fortunately, he is also a relented presenter and writer. This means that we are able to benefit from his thoughts on the martial arts no matter where we are in the world, without having to travel to some remote part of the globe and climb a perilous mountain. Insightful, engaging, entertaining and fun to read, this collection of articles is a valuable addition to any martial arts library." - Matthew Sylvester, author of Practical Taekwondo - Back to the Roots, How the West was Weird, Kolkata Heat, Blaise Maximillian and Hell Hound

"I found 'Mordred's Victory and other Martial Mutterings' by Jamie Clubb to be a very thought provoking read. Each chapter deserves careful reading and contemplation. Whether you pursue martial arts for fitness, sport, competition, art or self-defence, this book will assist in self-realisation and help any martial artist find their own path. The extensive reference section deserves another mention." - Ruby Barnes, author of Peril, The Baptist and The Crucible
