When we don't understand or incorporate true combative principles into our training we run the risk of losing within a context where losing can cost us our lives.In this Little Book:The 3 main contextual considerations when it comes to combatives training and development.The importance of understanding your context and the factors that are influenced by context.Introduction to the Combative Triad.The core principles for successfully managing close combat incidents.Considerations on what needs to be included in training to successfully incorporate these principles.

Did you know that the latest technology and research shows that the brain undergoes very specific changes in its functioning during a close combat incident? Whether training for self defence, law enforcement / military close combat procedures, or traditional martial arts and sports fighting: under certain conditions the brain will switch from one mode of functioning to another. The Maul Book is the first book to delve into this research, and through extensive testing within different close combat environments, integrate this research into new and fresh training methodologies. The Maul Book is a must for any practitioner from any martial arts, self defence, close combat or tactical environment, as well as for instructors serious about providing the best training developed and influenced through the latest research. Here's what you will learn from The Maul Book: What the latest research teaches on the brain's functioning under certain conditions.Old brain models that have now been shown as defunct and obsolete.How the changes in brain function influences performance and decision making within highly dynamic environments.How to better identify and select targets within high speed and ever changing situations. Techniques, tactics and training methodologies that work WITH the brain and it's different ways of functioning.How to apply this research into any martial art or close combat training system.The core knowledge base of The Maul as an example of how to integrate the research into an existing system. What do some of our proof readers say? "I could easily just state that this is one of the best books on knife combatives I have read, ever, and be done with it. But that would be a disservice to both the authors and to you, the reader... It is, quite simply, the best approach to realistic knife combatives written in years... I cannot give it a higher recommendation than this, read it, practice it, read it again, and keep working it. This is good stuff. I wish this book was out when I started in this arena."-Terry Trahan"The Maul tells you why some things probably won't work and why you should reassess your own training to realign it with what is currently known about the human brain. This is the most important book on Defensive Edged Weapons to come out in years."-Don Rearic"Reading 'The Maul' as a review for Schalk and Gavin was a sheer pleasure. As I read it I saw thoughts chrystalise into reality... I taught some of the content on the night I finished reviewing the book, yes it is that good, and my students, instructor and senior instructor who were present clearly benefited from it, as did I. The Maul is recommended reading for anyone serious about self improvement and advancing their knowledge."-Garry Smith"I believe regardless of the readers knowledge base, this book is worth reading and drawing from."-Xavier Knox"Concise, easily incorporated into existing training and research driven! You cannot ask for more."-Dr. TJ Greyvenstein

Embark on a groundbreaking exploration of one of the world's fastest-growing sports-Women's Mixed Martial Arts (WMMA). While women now captivate audiences worldwide with their prowess in the cage, scant sociological literature exists on this phenomenon. This dissertation seeks to unravel the complexities surrounding WMMA, exploring the identities of these new female subjects, the ways in which they challenge and reproduce gender norms, and the extent to which their participation can be characterized as empowering.Through a critical ethnography of WMMA, drawing from over four years of fieldwork, content analysis of WMMA media, and 40 semistructured interviews with professional athletes, this research provides the most comprehensive sociological account of WMMA to date. The study assesses the sport's potential as a platform for women's empowerment, questioning whether it challenges patriarchal constructions of gender or inadvertently reinforces existing norms.

For centuries and millennia, in cultures throughout the world, what Jack Kerwick and Al Ridenhour here refer to as the persona of "the Warrior-Scholar" was extolled as an ideal of human excellence to be embodied by those upon whom the social order depended for its preservation and success. This ideal has largely been lost, and lost particularly to the contemporary Western world. It is the authors' contention that the West would be well-served by restoring this ideal to the pride of place that it once enjoyed.While it's undoubtedly true that, in the vast majority of instances, the Warrior-Scholar ideal was equated with an ideal of manhood, from early on in its recorded history, no less a figure than Plato argued for the inclusion of women among the guardian class in his ideal Republic. The authors do not intend to second guess Plato. Rather, they make it clear that while the Warrior-Scholar ideal certainly offers an ideal of manhood, it offers females an ideal worth pursuing as well. The martial dispositions of the warrior, the intellectual strengths of the scholar, and the seamless combination of these two sets of virtues in one and the same person are equally available to men and women alike.Kerwick and Ridenhour don't presume to offer an historical analysis of either the rise or demise of the Warrior-Scholar throughout the ages. What their essays supply us with is a vision, a moral vision, and some guidance for how, here and now, individuals who are interested in manifesting this vision in their own lives can begin doing so.
