The Formidable Fighter Series is a series of booklets for martial artists desiring to learn the concepts that create formidable fighters in the training hall, competition arena, and street. Each booklet is between 5,000 and 10,000 words in length and includes fighting scenarios, training tips, and illustrations. Force and Single Strike Damage, the sixth booklet in the series, is approximately 75 pages long and deals particularly with how to use strikes that are intended to deliver enough power to a sensitive target to end the fight instantly. Training for the street requires an evaluation of gruesome methods, including eye gouges and strikes to the windpipe. However, martial art training in any form or way is not meant to be easy or pleasant; it is meant to be practical. Since the advice is not style specific but explores the underlying concepts of personal combat, it is applicable to students of most martial styles.Force and Single Strike Damage includes discussions and exercises on how to direct the force for maximum damage in strikes and kicks when an opponent is standing or on the ground, how to select the weapons best suited for the attack and choose targets with precision, how to attack to vulnerable targets such as the throat, eyes, groin, and tailbone, and how to make abrupt use of force in joint locks for takedowns and grappling.Ring training and street training complement one another, but when your life is at stake you cannot afford to get into a sparring match with your adversary. If you follow the instruction and tips in the Formidable Fighter Series, you will learn how to develop your physical strength and mental tenacity and triumph as a fighter in the training hall, ring, and street.Formidable Fighter: The Complete Series, a compilation of all previously published electronic books in this series, is now available to a great reduction in price in both electronic and print format. The book is a variation of the previously published book (now out of print), Combat Fitness for the Elite Female Martial Artist, also by Martina Sprague, revised to be particularly suitable also for the male student.
