Martial Arts knowledge

Rand Cardwell is an exceptional researcher into combat effective application of pressure point/vital point application in real world scenarios. Not sport martial arts but life and death self defence application. If this interests you - buy "The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points" - an exceptionally well presented essay on the subject. For beginners and the most advanced alike.

Easy read on an intricate topic

Wonderful! Love part 2, where the author breaks down meridians and interaction into common language. Wish I would have found this years ago.
Gives an overall breakdown, but find supplemental material is very useful. Definitely a worthwhile investment.

Excellent!

This is a great addition to any serious real martial artists library. This book helps to fill in the puzzle about the Kyusho points and how they work with the destructive cycle of acupuncture.

36 Deadly Bubishi Points

Rand expands upon his earlier Western Bubishi, an excellent PP book in its own right! This rehashed some material and expands in others. Excellent reference and reading, for those who "know" what it is. Girdle Vessel, Linking Vessels, etc., Sealing the Qi... I'm glad to be able to add this to my library on MA and PP fighting.

Good for learning self-defense points

This book teaches alot for self defense and how to disrupt the energy of Chakra when in combat and mapping of the points are well illustrated. But remember to always keep your training routine sharp.
