Shorthand Empty Hand: Expedient Stylized Fighting

"You must be willing to offer greater violence in return for violence offered you. That attitude must precede all else. Begin cultivating it now."

Attack, attack, attack – come at your target from every possible direction and press until his defenses overload. Never give him time to recover his balance: never give him time to counter.

- Heroes Die, Matthew Woodring Stover

In Shorthand Empty Hand, Phil Elmore, publisher of The Martialist™: The Magazine For Those Who Fight Unfairly, outlines a basic curriculum of empty-hand self-defense. Shorthand Empty Hand is your expedient key to physical combat using your body’s natural weapons. Stylized but pragmatic, Shorthand Empty Hand can save your life.

A bastardized, hybridized form of martial arts and combatives that anyone can learn relatively quickly, Shorthand Empty Hand gives the average citizen the power to fight and win when faced with a violent physical attack. No system is the ultimate system and no printed material can truly teach you what you must do to fight another human being, but Shorthand Empty Hand gives you the conceptual framework from which to approach fighting with your bare hands.
