Classical Chokes

Summary: Veterans Need Not Apply
Review: I bought this book to further my personal study of chokes and strangulation. While it was a good book, it was not what I expected. I was expecting more practical applications and techniques. It seemed to me that Kelljchian focused only on the types of chokes used in GoJu Karate, logically because that is the style he mastered. I was looking for a more advanced/comprehensive view of chokes and varied applications of techniques that I could incorporate into my training. I believe that my training in various martial arts as well as my expectations played a part in my disappointment with the book. Don't get me wrong, the book will remain in my martial arts library but this book was geared towards people with no knowledge of the art of strangulation. People looking for more advanced techniques will have to go elsewhere.

Summary: what he said..
Review: I could just as well copy the review blow, because it's exactly like I myself feel about it...here goes:

"You will have better luck learning about chokes/strangles if you buy a basic Judo or Jujitsu book. This is one of those books that seems to have been thrown together, without thinking about how to exactly explain what is trying to be said. This book has those small black and white photos, with one sentence about what is being shown. This book is not for people who have some practical experience with chokes. It is defiantly not for those who are novice and expect to learn a "Supreme Empty-Hand Self-Defense System". (end Qoute..)

Review: I liked it since it provides a very good overview
of various choking methodologies. As a jujutsu practioner, I always enjoy a fresh perspective on this aspect of grappling.

Review: This is an excellent book for martial artists, or anyone who is serious about self-defense. I have been training in the martial arts for eight years, and this is the first book I have ever found dedicated just to chokes. I'd highly reccommend it.
