The Art of Striking: Principles & Techniques by Marc Tedeschi is a comprehensive guide to the mechanics, principles, and practical application of striking techniques in the martial arts.

The book examines a wide range of offensive techniques, including punches, kicks, elbow and knee strikes, as well as methods of generating power through proper body alignment, balance, timing, distance, and movement. It also explores targeting, combinations, defensive considerations, and the underlying principles that make strikes effective.

Detailed explanations and photographic demonstrations break techniques down step by step, making the material accessible for both study and practice. Rather than concentrating on a single martial arts style, The Art of Striking provides a broad technical reference for martial artists interested in developing a deeper understanding of stand-up fighting and effective striking.
