The Striker's Reading List Part 1 [Jack Slack]

by Jack Slack on Jan 26, 2012 12:07 PM EST

Hey folks,

Am currently reworking my site, so it's a little messy at the moment, but I wanted to advertise my newest post a little. It's basically a reading list for strikers, only the first part mind you - there is plenty more to be said. You might have read all of them but I would love to hear in the comments how you feel about my first choices, and what you would recommend to a young beginner or a veteran striker alike.

Jack, you do wonderful technical writeups

I was wondering if you could tell me, are the Cung Le or Anderson SIlva Victory Belt worth the investment?

so raise your glasses one more time, may the best man overdose on pride- the bled

Thanks man!

I’m afraid I haven’t read Cung’s book yet, but Anderson’s book on striking is very good fun. I critiqued it in my list here but even the filler material is fun to play with!

It also stresses the importance of the counter jab a LOT, like 10 different combos starting with it. Which I just wrote an article on for HKL:

Great job.

I was thinking of picking up The Tao of Jeet Kune Do and you made my mind. As a right handed southpaw I look forward to what he had to say about it in depth.
