This work is a proof that there is a universal Martial Arts system. The common thread to all Martial Arts is Form to Function. The core of the Martial Arts is: Attitude, Logic, Basics and Fitness. All Styles and Systems are simply ways to exercise these core ingredients. In this book Skip Hancock does two of the things that he does best. He clearly defines things and guides us on how to operate on Larger Generalized Principles.
This book is an invaluable resource, overflowing with useful information that I will reference countless times. As a martial arts instructor with nearly 54 years of experience (having started at the age of 4), I can confidently say that this is the most informative and practical book for martial arts enthusiasts.
However, its benefits extend far beyond martial arts. The principles and lessons seamlessly transfer to life in general, offering insights that can be applied to various aspects of everyday living. Whether you're a practitioner or simply looking to integrate martial arts wisdom into your daily life, this book is a must-read. - Shayne Simpson
Another amazing book by Professor of The Art Skip Hancock! Regardless of the martial arts system you train in The Path to Excellence: The Case for The Universal Martial Arts System will enhance it if you apply the knowledge contained within to your training regimen. This new book along with Skips two other books, Mastering Kenpo: The Path to Excellence and AWARE: Survival Stories to Help You Have a Safer Life are a must have in every Dojo’s and independent martial artists library. Thank you Skip! - David Chase
This is one of those books to ponder a path to mastery in the martial arts. Skip does a fantastic job at giving the reader an understanding of larger principles that can have profound impacts on my martial art as well as everything I do. For example, I study kenpo and I'm also a chiropractor. I'm finding that the principles in the book help my self defense while also providing my patients with valuable insights to prevent injuries. - Richard Tran
