Matthew Sylvester, Instructor of Exeter Practical Martial Arts, has recently written a book titled ‘Back to the Roots: Volume 1′. With a distributor already chasing him for a finished version, he is in the process shooting the nearly 600 photos that will be required for the book.
Readers can expect to learn not only about applications that can be found in Sajo Jirugi, Chon Ji and Taeguk Il Jang, but also how to find their own applications, how to rate them for practicality, how to use pressure points and how to find many alternative uses for the blocks and strikes that they currently use.
These books are written for beginners and advanced students alike, using straight-forward, take it as you see it English.
It is hoped that the first volume will be on the shelves by early 2009. Earlier if possible!
