The Art of Holding: Principles & Techniques by Marc Tedeschi is a detailed guide to the principles and techniques used to restrain, immobilize, and control an opponent.

Drawing from a broad range of martial arts concepts, the book examines holds and controlling positions applied from standing and ground situations. It covers methods of using leverage, body positioning, pressure, and joint manipulation to restrict an opponent’s movement while maintaining effective control.

Detailed explanations and photographic demonstrations break down the mechanics and practical application of each technique. Designed as both an instructional manual and reference work, The Art of Holding is useful for martial artists interested in grappling, self-defense, submission techniques, and the science of controlling an opponent.
