The training techniques taught in this book are not limited to the staff.
His use of frontal, side and overhead views, as well as his unique "floating staff" perspective, allows you to truly see how your actions correlate with those of your training partner (or opponent), as well as how and where your weapon moves.
As always, your martial arts training is greatly enhanced by McLemore\'s beautifully executed drawings that take you step-by-step through 25 Fighting drills for the martial arts staff.
But its real value lies in the Fighting concepts imparted, which serve as a language for advanced training.
The Fighting Staff covers such essentials as footwork, grip, strikes, thrusts, blocks, and targeting.
Rather, he offers an eclectic approach that borrows the most effective techniques from Asian and European martial arts throughout history.
In keeping with his philosophy on Fighting weapons, in this workbook McLemore does not attempt to duplicate methods from a specific period in the past.
The Fighting Staff is a modern illustrated guide to using one of man\'s oldest weapons.
