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 Escalation, the seventh booklet in the series, is approximately 50 pages long and deals particularly with how to go from simple to complex techniques while ensuring that each successive step advances one toward the final objective of winning the fight by rendering the opponent harmless. 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 Escalation includes discussions and exercises on how to increase the power of a technique by enhancing the finer points, the importance of throwing a primary technique before throwing a secondary technique, escalation of force while standing and on the ground, how techniques can fail, and what to do to remedy the situation.Power, or force, is a combination of good body mechanics and the proper use of the laws of physics as applicable to speed and momentum. 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.
