About this listen
Among the hand-to-hand disciplines, the text focuses on:
- Karate: The initial spark that taught precision and striking speed, providing an essential foundation for combat.
- Kickboxing and Full Contact: A demanding discipline that toughened the protagonist's character, introducing him to the world of boxing and full-contact strikes.
- Muay Thai: Considered the pinnacle of sport combat for its completeness and intensity, it posed both a physical and mental challenge, teaching resilience and determination.
- MMA (Mixed Martial Arts): The culmination of the journey, a system that integrates striking and grappling techniques, representing maximum dynamism and freedom in combat.
- Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA): Based on medieval and Renaissance manuals, this discipline reconnected the protagonist with the techniques of his ancestors, utilizing weapons like longswords, short swords, polearms, and daggers.
- Armored Combat: An extreme physical trial that combines strategy, technique, and endurance in a realistic context.
- Traditional Italian Knife Fighting: A fascinating art passed down from the masters of the past, combining elegance and lethality.
- Airsoft: Used as preparatory training to simulate dynamic combat scenarios.
- Static and Dynamic Shooting with Real Firearms: The apex of modern martial arts with weapons, requiring precision, composure, and respect for tools of great power.
Ancient Disciplines The book dedicates ample space to rediscovering ancient martial arts, such as Pankration, gladiatorial combat, and the war techniques of Greek and Roman armies.
Through these disciplines, the author weaves personal anecdotes and reflections that go beyond technique, exploring the deeper meaning of combat: personal growth, mental resilience, and a connection to cultural and historical traditions. "The Martial Artist" is not just a manual or an autobiographical account but a celebration of the martial journey in all its forms.
