25 Principles of Martial Arts

By Kambiz Mostofizadeh

Unlock the DNA of Combat: The Universal Laws That Govern Every Fight.

Most martial arts books focus on what to do; the specific kick, the particular throw, or a rigid sequence of movements. 25 Principles of Martial Arts focuses on the why. Whether you are a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a student of Muay Thai, or a practitioner of traditional Karate, the physics of balance and the psychology of conflict remain the same.

In this definitive guide, the complexities of combat are distilled into twenty-five core pillars. You will explore:
Structural Integrity: How to use skeletal alignment to generate power far beyond muscular strength.
The Economy of Motion: Eliminating "telegraphing" to become faster and more efficient.
Psychological Dominance: Understanding distance, timing, and the "Void" to control your opponent's mind before their body.
Strategic Adaptability: Learning to flow between offense and defense without hesitation.

Moving beyond stylistic boundaries, this book serves as a strategic manual for any martial artist looking to deepen their understanding of their craft. It is not about learning more moves; it is about mastering the principles that make those moves work.

Perfect for instructors looking to refine their teaching and students eager to accelerate their progress.
