Mastering Martial Arts

Readers are introduced to the action-packed and fascinating world of martial arts. Each book provides a history of the discipline as well as any necessary equipment, warm-up exercises to prevent injury, and details on the different styles and categories. Detailed step-by-step instructions and accompanying photographs help readers learn the positions and fundamental techniques followed by a demonstration of basic attacks and counterattacks. As each book progresses, the attacks become more and more varied and complex. Formal exercises encourage students to practice what they have learned, keep track of personal progress, and improve their mastery of the discipline.
