Egyptian stick martial art Practical Guidebook de Dr Adel Paul Boulad

A new teaching norm.

After a 1st book published in 2014, this guide meets the needs of many martial arts practitioners, concerning the application of the techniques and the forms in free fighting. As a matter of fact, they were missing, so far, a didactive and progressive approach. The thirteen forms (Tashkila) described in here include specific techniques and « secret weapons » still practiced nowadays in endangered Egyptian villages.

The five ways to execute the forms constitute a teaching architecture, leading to free fighting. Their successive constraints are intended to boost the mobility at 360° of the jousters, and their personal understanding of timing and space in combat. This results in flowing and respectful jousts, executed to the rhythms of the percussions.

An easy-to-read guidebook with many benefits at every corner.

As its reading goes along, the guidebook progressively unveils the benefits of good preparatory exercises and techniques, and of the diverse forms of fighting. It connects this way with the other, well-known, martial cultures.  

The pictures, the text, but also the QR codes to scan to access videos on demand and their updates, enable the reader to discover the techniques and to practice them.

Musical lines, tied to the different forms and preliminary phases to the jousts, complement this book, with regards to the echoing of rhythms and heartbeats.
