Produktbeschreibung

A successful kickboxer must be complete in all aspects of his game, and offense cannot survive without defense, and vice versa. Many kickboxers think of defense as simply avoiding a strike or kick. But good defense has many other purposes. Your goal defensively is to make your opponent pay a price. Good defense protects you from harm and creates offense. Blocking or moving to avoid a strike will in itself not win the fight. It is impossible to protect against all strikes, and you will get hit. You should therefore strive to use the momentum of good defense to launch a counterattack. Good defense destroys your opponent's weapons. Begin thinking of your blocks as strikes and not simply as means of thwarting your opponent's attack. By selecting the right block and executing it in the proper manner, we can punish our opponent's offensive weapons and eventually render those weapons harmless. It takes more energy to fight offensively than defensively. Defense, with its shorter and more compact moves, should therefore be used between offense to replenish your energies and tire your opponent. Kickboxing: From Initiation To Knockout comprises a series of short books with focus on learning specific techniques and strategies for the exciting sport of competition kickboxing. With plenty of pictures, each book breaks the material down into bite-size pieces that allow you to practice to perfection. The material in this book previously appeared in Complete Kickboxing, now out of print, and is great for straight boxing, too.
