Sparring: Strategy, Tactics, Technique is the new book by UK martial arts legend Bob Breen. His first book, Fighting, was a guide to basic martial arts strikes and techniques and it was well written and well illustrated with lots of good pictures and it emphasised drilling technique on basic strikes rather than learning fancy new techniques.
His new book is very much a companion to this book but it takes the reader a stage further and discusses ideas and strategies for sparring using the basic kicks and strikes discussed in the first book.
Like its predecessor it's also well laid out, well written and draws on Breen's extensive experience as a fighter, a martial artist and a teacher to give the reader a comprehensive but never alienating account of the ideology and practice of sparring.
A must-read for any aspiring martial artist.
