Very much a catalog or reference guide, but the photos are *very* good given the difficulty of the subject matter and Christian's descriptions show his deep knowledge of both the arts and the industry.
Nice and enjoyable compendium of footwork and related strategies, with minor editing errors spread through the whole text.Strong points are (i) the initial chapters setting proper terminology and (ii) the combination of clear pictures and explanations breaking down techniques and patterns.

The author does a great job of describing how various fighters approach the offensive and defensive aspects of footwork, with pros and cons given. I felt that the ratio of information value to page count was high, much more so than the typical martial arts book.My only criticisms...
