Like athletes, fighters are always pushing themselves to get better and be prepared to face all types of challenges. As the saying goes, “you fight the way you train”—you have to be adaptable and find time and ways to train in techniques outside of the typical ring scenario.

For example, we all know that an arm bar is a devastating weapon to use against any opponent. But should it be the first weapon you use in any given situation? As great as an arm bar might be in the ring, it would be of dubious benefit to use it as your “go-to move” in the streets where there are no mats and your opponent might have friends with him.

To fight effectively, the martial artist must be versatile enough to switch between lethal and nonlethal hand-to-hand combat techniques, whether he or she is armed or unarmed. Because this is a primer, the book will cover empty hand and knife techniques from the ranges of punching, kicking, clinching, takedowns and grappling.

A good martial artist always aims to develop his or her sensory awareness, decisiveness, accuracy, efficient use of their body and overall physical fitness. These basic elements should be constantly sharpened through meditation, visualization, study of all forms of martial arts, physical exercise, and individual martial arts training.
