NINE LEVELS, EASY TO EXPERT This book stands apart from other staff
training manuals. While most titles focus on forms and twirling,
The Art and Science of Staff Fighting emphasizes the dynamics of
combat. The author draws on thirty years of martial experience,
presenting the best of both Eastern and Western traditions. Joe
Varady lays out a comprehensive course of study in nine levels,
from beginner to expert. He guides readers through such
fundamentals as stances, striking, blocking, and footwork. In
advanced lessons, readers learn disarming techniques, groundwork,
and facing multiple opponents. But this book is not just for staff
enthusiasts. Even those unfamiliar with martial arts can adapt
these techniques, increasing their skill and confidence in
defending themselves. "Our environment is usually full of
improvised weapons," Varady writes. "Staff fighting techniques can
be effectively applied in a self-defense situation using a walking
stick, coatrack, curtain rod, floor lamp, hockey stick, fallen tree
branch, broom, mop, shovel, or rake." Equipped with this knowledge,
readers will begin to realize that, in one way or another, they are
nearly always armed and capable of defending themselves. This book
features: Nine levels of instruction, progressing from easy to
expert Over 600 photos with motion arrows A "nondenominational"
approach to staff, utilizing the best of Eastern and Western arts A
comprehensive, methodical approach to building staff skills If you
are already a student of the staff, these lessons will not conflict
with your katas or current style. Instead, they will augment your
techniques, broadening your options. Whether you are an experienced
staff fighter or a layman seeking practical techniques for
self-defense, The Art and Science of Staff Fighting will help you
develop the skills you need.
