Staff, baton & longsword combat series: Understanding and developing footwork

By Luis Preto

Footwork has always been regarded as one of the most important elements to the success of a Martial Artist's performance.However, almost all comments heard about this topic are, usually, generic at best: "great footwork", "amazing speed", "better footwork", thus failing to build a better understanding about what makes up effective footwork.This easy to read book with over 100 photos looks to shed some light on this issue by analysing and systematizing:* The variables that make up effective footwork* The difference between offensive and defensive footwork* The relationship between footwork when using weapons of different length * How to learn footwork so as to have it transfer into sparring
