Every style of karate,
tae kwon do, kung fu or
other martial art
includes the down block
as part of its kata, or
forms. The forms are
similar enough that
martial artists will
recognize them as down
blocks, even though the
specific block looks
different from their own
style. Taken together,
these blocks make up a
"universe" of hundreds
of different variations
on the basic down block.
75 Down Blocks explores
this universe to look
for the underlying
principles common to all
down blocks. Author Rick
Clark examines
seventy-five different
possible variations on
the basic down block -
with examples of how to
use the down block to
defend against twelve
kinds of attacks - from
wrist grabs and punches
to kicks and attacks
with a stick. By looking
at this movement in such
great detail, and by
learning how it can be
adapted across a broad
range of martial arts
styles and situations,
you can both build your
repertoire of down
blocks and achieve a
greater understanding of
the underlying
principles of martial
arts.
Rick Clark began
studying judo in 1962.
With over 40 years of
training and teaching
experience in a number
of martial arts systems,
he has taught at both
the school and
university levels. He
has developed an
international reputation
as a skilled martial
artist and seminar
instructor, and teaches
regularly in Australia,
Canada, England,
Ireland, Scotland,
Norway, Sweden, New
Zealand, and the United
States.
