Book Description
An excellent training supplement for martial artists of all stripes, The Martial Artist's Book of Yoga clearly illustrates how specific yoga poses can directly improve one's martial arts abilities, with asanas that the reader can easily incorporate into a balanced workout.
Designed for those practicing any martial art including judo, karate, kung fu, taekwondo, jujitsu, and hapkido, the book explains the training needs and challenges of the various universal techniques, believed to have evolved from yogic movements nearly 2500 years ago: kicks, strikes and blocks, throws, falls and rolls, joint locks, and grappling moves. Then the author identifies the underlying fundamentals necessary to advance one's skill in each area and presents a series of yoga poses specially selected to make those improvements--from increased flexibility and strength to better body control and balance.
