Bunkai-Jutsu The Practical Application of Karate Kata, Iain Abernethy, 2002, , 246 pages. This book sets out, examines and defines the techniques, methods and practices that make up the training of a kick-boxer. It serves as an A-Z manual to be used as a reference to solve or re-examine problems of craft or skill and takes the reader through a process, starting with the most basic techniques through timing and distance, power and speed, sparring and conditioning, finishing only when the fighter, having fought, steps out of the ring to be de-briefed by the coach. This guide aims to open up the path for success in a comprehensive treatment of the practice of kick-boxing. As a 1st Dan (black belt) in shotokan karate i believed i had a certain amount of fighting prowess. That is until i bought Pat's book. Years of karate basics instilled the techniques but i was amazed at how pat whittles away the traditional pap to uncover truly effective and efficient punches and kick. Although i will always love Karate, i know for certain which techniques i would employ in a real fight. This book teaches you how to punch and kick effectivly whether you are a novice or a Black belt. If combined with traditional martial arts knowledge you become a much more confident and dangerous opponent. The techniques are explained and described fully, using very informative pictures and are perfect for learning from scratch or for adapting traditional techniques. I would never normally write a review but Mr O'Keeffe's book is the best training manual i have ever read. I have had it two years and still dip into it a few times a week and recommend it to anyone new to the sport. His training schedules and advice on conditioning and diet are worth the cover price alone. Combat Kick Boxing is the first book to bring kick boxing techniques to the attention of the serious student of self-defence. Kick boxing, long regarded as the most realistic of the martial sports, offers the skills and techniques that could save your life when you are under attack. Covering awareness, pre-emptive strikes, defence against armed and unarmed assailants, gang attacks, street conditioning and much more Combat Kick Boxing delivers hard-hitting and practical advice. The follow-up to Pat O'Keeffe's best-selling Kick Boxing - A Framework for Success, this book explains how to use the techniques of the ring when the ropes and referee have been removed. O'Keeffe knows what he is talking about, no matter it's the street or the ring. The techniques are very practical and it cna give a kick boxing/Mugay Thai fighter a all rounded self defense manual. It also covers awareness, conditioning, strength training, mindsets, defend against multiple attackers, weapon defense (stay out of the knife stuff, most of them are not practical for the average guy, but it did address how dangerous the knife is. Also covers drills, training methods, escaping holds, pre emtive strikes, situational defense and one of the best thing about this book is that he does not covers only techniques, it talks about what do you need to look and pay attention to in a certain situation, the dangers of the situation, and lots of advices. Some of the bad advice is that putting your back against the wall in a multiple assilant situation will more likely get you killed. But use your own judegement, test teh technique under real pressure, have your partner really trys to make your technique fail! This book starts with a foreword by self protection pioneer Geofff Thompson and threat awareness, pre emtive strikes, basic strikes. It ends with teaching targeting, vital points, and a lsit of recommandation. Overall this is a great book and should be in any serious self defense practioner's libary. "Combat Kick Boxing" is a very coherent self-defense manual on how to use special methods based on various kickboxing methods -- such as particular practical methods adapted from Western Kickboxing, Muy Thai and Savate. Pat O'Keeffe presents some great knee and elbow hard-hits adapted from Muy Thai -- that are well chosen to fit-in with the opponent's actual attack -- rather than just semi-randomly shot-out at the risk of not fiting-in -- therefore exposing one to the attacker due to knees and elbows being easier to read by the attacker than kicks or fists. This whole manual has great practical advice in context of self-defense usage -- such as encounter area awareness and repeating blows as necessary to disable attackers -- BUT getting away as soon as practical for both survival and legal reasons. Getting away as soon as possible usually means avoiding or breaking any attempted holds of attackers and NOT going into ground grappling with an attacker as there may be armed allies nearby as Pat O'Keeffe remarks upon a number of times. Pat O'Keeffe does not mention Savate by name -- but presents some of its methods such as covert and overt On-Guards and sliding kicks, that travel as long as possible near the ground [for stealthy on-balance speed], before whipping-up into a well-chosen target -- and kicks that are whipped-up just as ones rear leg is grouped with the lead kicking leg [for stealthy on-balance power]. In particular, there are the lead leg front and side kicks on pages 44 and 49 -- that have defensive stop-hit and attacking hard-hit variants -- using immediate lifting for the stop-hits or hard-hit slide-ups ["group" in Savate]. The commmentary concerning these particular kicks about their further usage in context is great -- the front kick acting as a combination lead ["chain" in Savate] -- and the side kick usage for weapons-counters [allowing one to turn profile away from the weapon while countering with a hard-hit to lead into a hold or throw disarm]. Such holds and throws are adapted from classical Judo [even by name] -- as the author also has a Judo background +++ Read more › This is my personal favorite kick boxing book of the three written by Pat O'Keeffe. Since my primary interest today is practical combatives rather than tournament martial arts, I found this book to be very interesting and informative. The main focus of this volume is how to use the techniques of kick boxing for practical street combat scenarios. The author emphasizes that students should read his first book on kick boxing before trying to master the material in this text.

FIGHTING FALCONS SCHOOL OF MARTIAL ARTS www.fighting-falcons.co.uk Tay Family Fist Chinese Boxing Tay Family Chinese boxing was founded by the Falcons Head Coach Gordon Mitchell. Coach Mitchell started studying Lau Gar Kung Fu in 1985, by 1991 he was a member of the Lau Gar National Squad with national honours in competitive fighting, self-defence and traditional forms competition. In 1999 retired from International competition and looKed for his next challenge in the world of Martial Arts. Having been a great admirer of Bruce Lee’s teachings and philosophies, he started on his own voyage of self-discovery and spent the next ten years studying other Martial Disciplines such as Jeet Kune Do, Ju Jitsu, Muay Thai, Western Boxing and the combat systems used by the modern day military such as Krav Maga and Spetsnaz Systema. Today the Chinese KicKboxing system Tay Family Fist, named after coach Mitchell’s Chinese family name Tay, has matured into a complete but modern style of Martial Arts. Instead of stylised forms, the Tay system relies heavily on two person drills, the benefit being the use of realism rather than imagination to perfect the form and application of techniques.
