Buy Bradak's Combat Applications of the Tactical Tomahawk"By PA PrimeI bought this book to study how to use the tomahawk in close quarters combat. At the time of that purchase (2013), the only written information on this subject was a Cold Steel online article by Lynn Thompson[...] .I only learned two new things out of "The Fighting Tomahawk." First was how to quickly draw and grip the tomahawk. Second was "the rake," which is a niche, potentially useful method of attack. McLemore has clearly put a lot of time in writing and excellent illustrations--it really shows high quality in its presentation. But it doesn't add enough knowledge to be worth the price. That short, free Cold Steel magazine article covers 90% of the relevant information in McLemore's text. And if you REALLY want to study how to fight with a tomahawk, then read Bradak's "Combat Applications of the Tactical Tomahawk" . . . that came out in 2014 and it is by far the superior text. I learned something new on just about every page of Bradak's book.Probably the biggest annoyance is the fact that I bought "The Fighting Tomahawk" to learn how to fight with a tomahawk, yet almost half the text focuses on knife fighting. There's even a chapter called "The Stab" that covers . . . how to stab!McLemore says he's exploring 18th and 19th century tomahawk combat, then he does a VERY deep dive on using a knife in the opposite hand, with the tomahawk in the other. The "knife/tomahawk" combo is from the 1992 "Last of the Mohicans" movie (which also had Daniel Day Lewis dual-wielding muskets . . .). In McLemore's "Volume II" on the fighting tomahawk, he admits "Although television and movies present 18th- and 19th-century heroes skillfully using two weapons against various opponents, there is really little historical evidence available to suggest this sort of fighting took place."OK . . . so half of "The Fighting Tomahawk" was devoted to this Hollywood "dual wielding" stuff and he still devotes two chapters to it in "Volume II." I didn't learn much beyond what was in a free Cold Steel magazine article. Then I bought Bradak's "Combat Applications of the Tactical Tomahawk" and learned a whole lot more than all the information in the Cold Steel article and both of McLemore's tomahawk books COMBINED.If you absolutely MUST HAVE a well illustrated McLemore book about tomahawk fighting, don't bother with "The Fighting Tomahawk." Instead, skip it and get Volume 2. It's a repeat of almost everything in Volume 1, only with more information and illustrationsl.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Another classic from this authorBy Meh* See review of Volume II as well *I have several books from this author, and for what they are, they are spectacular. Unlike a lot of books, these do not proclaim to be the end-all, be-all, everything for your kung-fuey needs instruction manuals. The author clearly states these are for academic purposes only, and if you want to learn a martial art (especially one that uses weapons), to find a competent instructor and put in the time. Of course, finding an instructor worth a dang is kinda hard when every strip mall karate joint that hands out black belts to 8-year-olds tries to pass themselves off as "competent". Then, there are the legal issues as far as carrying some of the weapons in public. But, I digress... The author always does a wonderful job of historical research, combining that with his martial arts background and some research in how the body moves and reacts. All of the drills have a very natural "feel" to them. All instruction is clear, though some of the illustrations can be slightly confusing. As a professional draftsman, I certainly can understand how looking at the same image for hours and putting it all together makes sense at the time, but the next person to look at it is thoroughly confused (even if it is the same person, but two years later). It happens. Only a couple of images are like that, though. The vast majority are pretty intuitive. One thing I noticed could have been added to this and volume 2 is how most of the techniques could easily apply to a hammer (particularly a typical framing hammer), or even a small crowbar or tire iron in a pinch. There are many times you wouldn't get away with packing a tomahawk, but would go entirely unnoticed with a hammer. My take on any weapon-related martial art is that it MUST be applicable to everyday objects. To finish up, several other authors have made it a point to clearly distinguish martial arts, combat arts, and fighting. Most martial arts tend to be pretty worthless in an actual fight (especially an ambush). I have first-hand experience with that painful truth. Don't get this book thinking it'll make you a master fighter. Get it because it's interesting and lots of fun. Sure beats playing golf.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Good book for beginnersBy sndmnThis book shows the flow lanes around the body that every weapon travels because of the shape and length of the human appendages. What the student should realizes is that this is the way all weapon move in arcs around the body. This book is good at showing the student edge awareness. In other words keep the sharp edge toward the attacker. This book does bring both hands into play by demonstrating how to employ an edged weapon in both hands to take advantage of the defensive reaction people will fall into if untrained. Simple straight forward a very good book for beginners that need to learn to move while wielding a weapon or two. This is the basic formula of the mechanics of tow legs and two arms with weapons used as extensions that take the place of conditioning the fist as striking tools. The next step would be to bring the legs into play by trapping, tripping and kicking the attacker. One of the best comments from the book is that in throwing the weapon at the attacker it does not matter so much which part of the weapon makes contact. By striking the attacker with which ever edge will cause the attacker to take inventory of the damage giving you an opening to evade or attack changing the momentum of the attack.See all 59 customer reviews...
