More Fun than High School Science

Reviewer: Martial Art Magazine from N/A
If you're one of those guys who wasn't exactly thrilled with high school science, you might want to give it another try. Not the same class you took back then, but "Fighting Science: The Laws of Physics for Martial Artists." This 269-page book by Martina Sprague is reader-friendly and covers such topics as an introduction to fighting concepts, balance, momentum, direction, impulse, rotational speed and kinetic energy. Check it out. It's fun and you may just learn a thing or two.

I highly recommend it.

Reviewer: Loren W. Christensen from author of Fighters Fact Book
Fighting Science is a wonderful, information crammed martial arts book that fills a much-needed void in the field. Author Martina Sprague clearly knows her stuff and passes on her knowledge in a simple and easy-to-understand language that even the science and math challenged among us can grasp at first read. Even if you have been studying the martial arts for years, her explanations as to the science behind your favorite moves will have you exclaiming, “So that’s why that technique works so well.” Perhaps more importantly, with a new understanding of the simple laws of physics that make a technique work and work well, you might discover the solution to a problem you’ve had with a particular punch, kick, or throw. Her simple explanations as to the physics behind your movements, backed by hundreds of clear photos, will not only improve your techniques but will help you defeat your opponent, whether it’s in the ring or in the street.
