Joint Kicks are probably the most effective way to neutralize an assailant in real-life situations. By attacking the opponent’s articulations you ensure that they will not be able to keep on the fight; they will not be able to punch you with a damaged arm and they will not be able to run after you with a busted leg. Joint Kicks are basically regular kicks to be delivered towards specific targets and with the focused intention to cause damage. This is Martial arts in their purest sense and not sport techniques. In real life, you could easily encounter an assailant with a high resistance to pain. It could the high adrenalin levels, alcohol intoxication or drugs. But it will be very different from free-fighting in the dojo. If he is impervious to the pain of your blows, only by destroying the attacker’s infrastructure will you be able to overcome him.The book reflects on the mindset behind Joint Kicks and presents numerous examples of their use. With over 800 Photos and Drawings.
