Jack Slack – Advanced Striking Tactics of Kickboxing Boxing and MMA Masters

The Purpose of This Book

The purpose of this book is not to reinvent the way the striking martial arts are viewed, nor is it in any way meant to represent a comprehensive guide to striking in boxing, kickboxing or MMA. Each of these disciplines could be the subject of numerous tomes, and many exist on each, this book, however, intends to focus on the unique strategies that make certain accomplished combatants so successful.

It is important to remember that in the world of combative sports – no matter whether they allow kicks and grappling or not – few losses can be written off as dumb luck. Almost every loss is the result of a basic error being made, or of an opponent’s game plan being implemented to success. This publication will attempt to pinpoint why, despite average physical abilities, some fighters are so far superior to their opposition. Many fighters will be featured in this book and some possess above average physical abilities in their field – such as the lengthy Badr Hari, or the seemingly tireless Diaz brothers. None, however, rely purely on their physical attributes to win contests and each apply techniques in their bouts which may be readily adapted and applied by casual and competitive strikers alike.
