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 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 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. I agree, but if you have a karate or combatives back ground you will still benefit greatly from reading this text.

There are fourteen detailed chapters in this volume. The material includes the importance of awareness, targets and techniques, the pre-emptive , breaking holds, one-to-one unarmed, blunt instrument attacks, knife attacks, gang attacks, seated defense, ground defense, and numerous other informative chapters.

With its intense action and the unbelievable skills of its athletes, kickboxing has gained worldwide popularity in a way that few international sports ever do. It requires perfect timing, incredible speed, and relentless power, and this guide details the techniques and methods needed to win. Author Pat O’Keeffe is a coach, trainer, and champion with three decades of experience, and his book includes dozens of techniques to prepare both body and mind for this dangerous and exciting sport. Helpful step-by-step illustrations demonstrate the techniques of defense; counter-attack; timing, distance, and mobility; sparring; speed and power; conditioning; and more. Perfect for the amateur kick boxer or the experienced fighter, Kick Boxing is a must-read resource written by one of the sport’s top experts.

This is a remarkably well illustrated book which provides an excellent overview of kickboxing, The book begins with a concise discussion of the history of kick boxing and then leaps right in to chapters on "the fundamentals", "secondary techniques", defense and counterattacks, "speed and power" and "conditioning" to name a few. The techniques described virtually always include sequential photos demonstrating the particular move which will be of great value to students of this combat art. Many of the conditioning techniques and as well as the training schedule detailed in the book would likely be applicable to many other martial acts as well as those readers just interested in general fitness. The book even includes a chapter on the role of the coach. This book is certainly recommended reading for all present students of kickboxing as well as those who are curious about this martial art or just interested in physical fitness My passion for the martial arts has stayed strong for more than fifty years. One of my interests was kick boxing. In the , Joe Lewis was one of the first karate fighters to switch to full contact kick boxing. Great Britain also became interested in the full contact aspect of kick boxing. One of the leaders in Great Britain is Pat O'Keeffe.

I recently came across three kick boxing books by Pat O'Keeffe. This is the first in the series and covers in depth the vital basic principles and techniques of kick boxing. The eleven chapters include the fundamentals, secondary techniques, defense and counter-attacks, use of combinations, timing, distance, mobility, sparring, developing speed and power, conditioning, designing a schedule, advice to the coach, and the way beyond trophies.

This is a book on full-contact rules kickboxing, meaning that all kicks, save foot sweeps, are aimed above the waist. O'Keeffe was a world-class competitor during the heyday of this form of kickboxing, and certainly knows what he's talking about. This book covers a variety of stances and guards, basic punching and kicking techniques and their variations, defensive techniques and counters, combinations, , equipment, drills, conditioning, and fight prep routines. He basically takes the reader through a journey from their earliest learning stages to their fight career. On the downside, the text seemed occationally disorganized and unclear. I also feel that some of the combinations were too excentric to find much real use. All the same, it's a very good book, one I'd recomend to those interested in FC rules kickboxing, or maybe to add some spice to their Muay Thai or karate techniques.

Pat O'Keeffe, one of Britains foremost kick boxing experts, shows you how to become a master of the martial sport. Whether you want to become a champion in the ring, or have reached a plateau in your training and wish to push yourself that bit further, Advanced Kick Boxing offers practical techniques, drills and expert advice that will help you achieve your kick boxing goals. Designed in a user-friendly and clear style, this is a fully comprehensive manual, explaining everything a kick boxer needs to know to develop advanced skills in the sport. Advanced kick boxing is the third volume of Pat O'Keeffe's acclaimed bestselling kick boxing series.

This book is for those who have already read and practiced the techniques in the author's previous two kick boxing books. This text was written for serious kick boxing students who truly desire to reach the top of their game. It is important to emphasize that this is not a book for beginners, but focuses on advanced kick boxing techniques and tactics for those involved in sport competition.

This text is organized into five parts. Part one covers advanced kick boxing techniques, which includes the bolo, jumping kicks, sweeping, combinations and close-range fighting. Part two explains tactics and ring craft, such as the five types of fighters, choosing a fighting style and other information. Having a game plan is taught in part three. Part four deals with deconstructing the champion, which explains the physical and mental qualities of a champion. The final section covers the structure for success, which includes developing the core skills, advanced fighter's training and the winning mind-set.

In conclusion, this is a book for individuals who are into the sport of kick boxing and desire to develop their skills to the ultimate. Like all physical skills and self-defense books, there is a limitation as to what can be accomplished by just reading a book. However, to obtain the most value from this book, one must be actually training under the guidance of a kick boxing coach.

With out too much fuss, this is simply a great book on the modern art of kickboxing. It was concise and well illustrated. The author spent the time to develop the subject. Ho also expounded on the bolo punch in such detail that I have nothing to compare it to. And, I own quite a few books on martial arts. Truly an outstanding effort. The depth of detail allows the book to be studied and returned to as a reference guide many times over.
