Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
McLemore builds on the foundation of Bowie and Big-Knife Fighting System to teach you more complex fighting techniques with the Bowie knife. Using the same highly effective workbook format, McLemore pairs step-by-step instructions with realistic illustrations to make the fighting sequences come alive. His uncanny ability to convey subtle motion and movement in his drawings allows readers to fully understand and learn the dynamic art of knife fighting. Progressive drillscombine techniques into sequences designed to show you how to maximize time, distance and movement to create openings for attacking or defending yourself against one or more opponents.

Advanced Bowie Techniques is Dwight McLemore's follow-on text to his outstanding 2003 book "Bowie and Big-Knife Fighting System".
Advanced Bowie Techniques offers more techniques for using the Bowie (or other large knife) in combat situations. It includes advanced drills and engagement scenarios, and Mr. McLemore's concepts on effective use of the Bowie knife (which I found to be a very effective and well-developed system).
Advanced Bowie Techniques is divided into five major sections:
>1. The Spanish Circle
>2. Engagements Sets
>3. Application of Kicks
>4. Putting the Bowie into Action
>5. Multiple Opponents
The book is copiously illustrated with easy to understand drawings showing how to apply the various advanced Bowie techniques. It should be noted that the skills shown in Advanced Bowie Techniques are in fact more advanced techniques that require a foundation in the basics to apply most effectively.
Advanced Bowie Techniques stands on its own as an excellent reference, but is even more valuable when combined with Mr. McLemore's foundation text "Bowie and Big-Knife Fighting System".
Highly Recommended - A Graduate Course in the Use of the Bowie Knife!
Rated by buyers -
I have rated this book at five stars and feel it is a great companion to Mr. McLemore's earlier book. I bought his very first book when it was still put out in a 3 ring binder. The drawings are again great but still require a pretty good imagination to follow through step by step. This is not a criticism since I have experienced the same difficulty deciding on photos to accurately describe training sequences in my own book "The Rhythm of One." I too tried to explain how to use the Spanish Circle and I'm not sure that this book is entirely successful at that either. This is a very difficult concept to teach without a live instructor, relying on drawings of foot placement. The concepts in this book are quite advanced and will refine the prospective knife-fighters movements. They define the use of a big knife better than any other book I have read so far. Even if you only learn one technique from this book it is money well spent. If you like big knives be sure you buy both volumes and practice what Mr. McLemore says. I'd like to offer a personal thanks to Mr. McLemore who encouraged me to finish writing my own book "The Rhythm of One" many months ago.
