The Martial Arts Delusion

Martial Science has an ancient pedigree. The study of how to survive violent attack is perhaps one of the earliest scientific studies known to man. Yet where the sciences have gradually matured into what we know them as today, the martial arts remain in a state of pre-science. The martial arts represent “schools of superstition” on fighting. When technology made single combat superfluous, Martial Science fell by the way-side, and the study of ballistic weapons became more important than the science of the interaction of living creatures using Force. The Martial Arts Delusion discusses the evolution of the martial arts and the social influences that lead to the Schools of Superstition. This book is a proposal that Martial Science should be used to understand fighting. “…a groundbreaking piece of work!” - Dr. Kernspecht, from his Foreword
