by Rick Clark
ISBN: 080483217X
Pressure-point fighting-the practice of manipulating the body's vital nerve
and reflex points for self-defense-offers the unique ability to neutralize
attackers without causing any permanent harm. This intricate and temporarily
devastating self-defense system has obvious advantages. What it hasn't had
is a comprehensive guidebook from the Western perspective. Now martial arts
expert Rick Clark offers all the fundamental pressure-point
techniques-illustrated with hundreds of photographs and twenty-five detailed
pressure-point charts-melding the ancient Asian knowledge with modern
Western medicine and science. Here, at last, contemporary readers can learn
to utilize this effective, reliable defensive art on their own terms.
