Overviews of philosoph... more »ical and conceptual underpinnings are followed by detailed drawings and diagrams of the body's internal systems, as seen by both traditions. Written in a clear and concise style, this beautiful and informative book presents information previously unavailable in any single text, making it an essential work for students, healing professionals, and martial artists. Samples can be viewed online (Google search: Marc Tedeschi or tedeschi-media). • Lavishly illustrated with over 147 color drawings and 54 duotone photographs • Easy-to-understand overview of Western anatomical concepts • Detailed overview of Eastern medical principles, including information previously available only in specialized, costly medical texts • Comprehensive listing of Oriental pressure points and meridians in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, cross-referenced to nerves, blood vessels, and other anatomical landmarks • Twenty essential self-massage and revival techniques • Detailed principles of pressure point fighting, as used in traditional Asian martial arts • An essential text for students, healing professionals, and martial artists Martial Artists Note: This book does not contain a detailed listing of pressure-point fighting techniques, but rather a brief overview of the philosophical and medical principles that underpin all pressure point fighting. Martial artists seeking a comprehensive presentation of specific martial pressure-point techniques should obtain the author's 1136-page book, "Hapkido: Traditions, Philosophy, Technique." MARC TEDESCHI is an internationally respected artist, designer, and educator, who holds a fifth-degree black belt in Hapkido, a martial art that integrates both healing and combative techniques. He has practiced martial arts for more than twenty-five years, training extensively in Hapkido, Taekwondo, Judo, Jujutsu, and Karate. Mr. Tedeschi's unique ability to blend his skills as a designer, writer, and martial artist has resulted in numerous books, widely acknowledged for their design excellence, outstanding imagery, and clarity of content. Long a student of Eastern concepts of human physiology and integrated medicine, he is the author of eleven works, including the landmark 1136-page "Hapkido: Traditions, Philosophy, Technique"; the 896-page "Taekwondo: Traditions, Philosophy, Technique"; and a unique series of general martial arts books that provide an in-depth look at the core concepts and techniques shared by a broad range of martial arts.
