Understanding Martial Art

It is my hope that this book will inspire martial artists across styles and traditions. After having studied Martial Art for many years, as a student, a teacher, a soldier, and a human being, and after being inspired by very insightful and skilled teachers around the world, I have realised that universal martial principles exist, they following laws and principles of nature - Physics, biomechanics, and psychology, to mention a few. In Japanese, these Principles would be described as “kaname”. Kaname means a vital point or a key principle. An aspect or a function that is crucial to what you want to achieve, and if not present, what you are trying to do will not work.
