Wing Chun Unchained, will challenge you to open your mind to the potential of Wing Chun. Many students of this great system limit, not only themselves, but Wing Chun itself, due to their preconceptions of how the system should be applied. Many of these preconceptions are due to the popular Ip Man movies, and other movies that focus on Wing Chun. Still others suffer from the system being propagated by instructors with no real experience in practical application of the tools of Wing Chun in "todays" violent street conditions. Author, Tony Massengill brings not only fifty-four years of training in the martial arts, but experience based on a twenty-seven year career on the streets as a police officer, firefighter and emergency medic, to the subject of applying Wing Chun as an effective self-protection method. He has "been there and done that" and brings that practical experience to the readers of Wing Chun Unchained. Wing Chun can't be taught effectively for today, as Ip Man taught it from 1950 - 1972, because the world of fighting has changed a great deal in the intervening years. The tools of Wing Chun are efficient and effective for the task of self-protection in the modern era, but changes in the approach of application need to be considered in light of the world we live in, not the one that Ip Man's students lived in. In this book you will discover how not be afraid to develop your skills such that you can make your Wing Chun a better fit for today's situations, rather than blindly clinging to old approaches to training and applications that do not equip us for the needs of the 21st century. The world has changed over the 300 or so years that Wing Chun has been around, and as practitioners of this system, we need to address those changes and free ourselves of outdated practices and ideas that prevent us from reaching our full potential, and we need to allow Wing Chun as the method we use, to serve us to it's full potential as well.
Wing Chun is a logical, scientific yet simple Chinese martial art system, which was developed purely for practical and effective self-defence for everybody. It is a martial art known for its efficiency and economy of movement, which emphasizes natural and efficient use of the body. Topics include: the fundamental principles of the hand and leg techniques; detailed explanations of the shape, structure and movements and a checklist for each technique; a detailed analysis and explanation of each of the 'empty hand' forms; an in-depth explanation of the principles and concepts behind Chi Sao, Wing Chun's 'sticky hands'; a scientific and anatomical explanation of the basic principles underlying the Wing Chun system.
In this book, the keys to the Ip Man Wing Chun Kung Fu system are explained. The three hand sets are shown in detail, along with the application of the key movements. One of the keys to Wing Chun is laying a proper foundation. The first form Siu Lim Tao (Little Idea) is the development of that foundation. While the first form teaches the correct structure of the attacks and defensive movements, it is in Chum Kiu that the student learns to "seek the bridge" and use both hands simultaneously, such as one hand defending while the other attacks. The third form, Biu Gee (Thrusting Fingers), also known as the (First Aid) form, teaches the keys to recovery from the loss of a superior position in fighting. Biu Gee training is one of the keys to learning to focus energy into a strike. Also covered is the Chi Sao (Sticking Hands) training of Wing Chun, as well as the key principles that have made Ip Man Wing Chun one of the most famous Kung Fu systems in the world.
"MOLON LABE!" "Come and get it," the battlefield cry of the ancient Spartan warriors. When Jim Arvanitis resurrected the ancient Greek martial art of pankration and updated it with the most effective concepts and techniques from other combative systems, he developed what many acknowledge to be one of world's first mixed martial arts (MMA). Now, Arvanitis has delved further into Greek martial history and revived the lost art of pammachon, or "battlefield pankration"—the military predecessor of pankration that takes the art out of the sporting arena and into the streets, where the objective is not competing to win a prize but fighting to save your life. Battlefield Pankration: The Book is a complete course in the nasty business of hard-core "conflict resolution." The techniques require no athleticism to perform but are based purely on raw animal instinct. The instruction blends the brutal competitive training of the MMA arena with the intensity of reality-based scenario drills. Its goal is not to show you how to engage in an uncontrolled brawl but to teach you dozens of tactical means to end an altercation quickly. Whether the fight is stand up or on the ground, whether your assailant is armed or unarmed, whether you are facing one or more opponents, Battlefield Pankration: The Book will show you how to handle all stages of a violent encounter with streetwise strategies, vicious techniques, and the warrior spirit of the ancient Spartans!

There also is a description of each segment and its most common training mistakes to improve not only your technique, but your level of understanding.

Jim Arvanitis, internationally-renowned as the Father of Modern Pankration and MMA pioneer, presents an in-depth analysis of this ancient fighting art and its contemporary derivative. Pankration is one of the oldest martial arts on record and the first to integrate striking, grappling, and submission techniques. The book examines the tactics and training methodologies traceable to the earliest Olympic Games to their adaptation by the author in the Twentieth Century. Also discussed is pankration's development from its mythological roots to the sport's inclusion in the Panhellenic festivals, and dynamic rebirth after it had vanished for several thousand years. Hundreds of lavish artifacts and photos depict one-on-one combat action throughout the text. Greek pankration is the only fully-documented total fighting system of the Pre-Christian era and the missing link in martial arts evolution.
