Want martial arts explained quickly, simply and in a way that WORKS?
The Essence of Martial Arts: Special Edition covers practical ways to fight, with a philosophical real world approach
The Essence of Martial Arts: Special Edition is a new, unabridged version of The Essence of Martial Arts (2011).

Featuring insights and methodologies from an experienced martial arts instructor, tips on competition, self defence for women, morals and ethics of martial arts, plus much more, the book intends to be a companion guide for all who purchased the original, or new readers who want the more up to date version.

Author notes:-

In 2011 my first book was released. I have learned a lot about the publishing process in that time, and share such insights on my blog. However, I do believe martial arts of all levels will find this new version of note, and is one that I believe will enhance their skill level.

The original publisher and editorial team, though helpful in the creation of that first book, placed certain caveats on that, which do not appear in this book. So this version is the truest version of my martial arts theories to date, in full, without extensive editing out of certain sections.

Focussing on extreme sports and fighting method, such as Wing Chun Kung Fu and Jeet Kune Do, to the more spiritual art of Tai Chi, this, in essence, is a complete guide to get you familiar with my view on these great martial arts. I also discuss my heroes such as Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Yuen Biao and Donnie Yen, amongst others, and how they have inspired me.

I hope you will enjoy the instructions and anecdotes contained therein.

Recommended for Tai Chi Students, Martial Arts beginners, Martial Arts advanced, who want a great book on how to develop speed power and effective martial arts techniques.

??? What other reviewers said.
" I can honestly say from experience that none of my previous coaches come anywhere near John Hennessy in terms of developing an individual."

"It is informative, easy to read and appropriate for people of all ages who are interested in physical fitness and how to become more adept in Martial Arts."

"John Hennessy's account of his own motivation, first attempts and later success in Kung Fu, Karate, Tai Chi and Jeet Kune Do illustrate well what he means by passion and dedication, which are necessary ingredients of any serious martial arts endeavor."

"If you're thinking about studying martial arts, this is a good place to start; Hennessy knows his material and presents it in an understandable way without resorting to nonsense. He's also one of the few martial artists I've read who is smart enough to draw a distinction between what we do in sparring and what we do in real life."
