Of course I have many, many favorite (and not so favorite) Wing Chun books, but more about some of them in a later post. Today, just to mention a few (2) of other martial books that have been favorites over the years. They are: Martial Power, by Steven Pearlman (and) Fighting Science, by Martina Sprague. She, of course, has written many other famous books, including "Complete Kickboxing" and others. I will start with her book, Fighting Science. It is basically the "Laws of Physics for Martial Artists" as explained on the front cover. I'm not going to go into the specifics other than it is a terrific read not only for martial artists but, I think, for anyone interested in physics and the way things work, especially the human body.
The other book, Martial Power, is basicallly divided into "principles" including physiokinetic principles. Take it from me; it is well worth the read and even a second and third read. It is a keeper just like Fighting Science is a keeper. I recommend both of them highly.
