Clark, Rick

One of karate's simplest, yet most subtle techniques is analyzed here. Readers learn how to evaluate variations and applications, then apply that analysis to daily martial arts practice. The principles underlying the technique are described, and the reader is taught how to find the essential information needed to optimize all applications and strategies for a complete array of self-defence skills. All other basic techniques are also examined, showing in each case that "simple" is not necessarily basic.

Rick Clark is the author of Pressure Point Fighting and is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost experts on vital point techniques. He lives in Terre Haute, Indiana.
