In the latest addition to his Fighting Weapons series; Dwight McLemore does for the staff what he did earlier for the Bowie; tomahawk; and sword. The Fighting Staff is a modern illustrated guide to using one of man's oldest weapons. 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. Rather; he offers an eclectic approach that borrows the most effective techniques from Asian and European martial arts throughout history. The Fighting Staff covers such essentials as footwork; grip; strikes; thrusts; blocks; and targeting. But its real value lies in the fighting concepts imparted; which serve as a language for advanced training. 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. 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. The training techniques taught in this book are not limited to the staff. They can also be used effectively with other weapons.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A scarce studyBy Charles A. CloughGood treatments of the role of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament that delve into specific texts are difficult to find. This book I found very helpful at putting one back into ancient Israel's culture to understand how they thought about this subject centuries before the New Testament writers cited Old Testament texts to support the doctrine of pneumatology.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
