Testimonials

I am reading your books for about an hour each night before I go to sleep. I'm learning a lot in them and I have been in martial arts for years. But our study, we don't do a lot of kicks because we are taught that it makes a person unbalanced and just one sweep can bring you down when you are in the middle of a kick. And since my Grand Master has taught me this, I have believed this and taught it to my students also. So I am seeing a lot of positive things about kicks that I haven't never been made aware of. I actually got outside today and did a few. I do the roundhouse and the basics but I tried a few of the others in the back of one of the books and I liked it.

When I first picked up Shawn's book, I thought that this was going to be a typical book on the martial arts. Boy was I wrong! This book (Back Kick) is the most detailed book I have ever read, seen, or even heard about concerning kicking. I can't wait for the others I ordered to arrive!

This is followed by a section on the legal statutes concerning self-defense and the use of force, and the possible criminal and/or civil consequences you could be faced with.
