Is judo worth practicing? Is boxing dangerous? Is fencing really an expensive, elitist sport? These are questions parents ask themselves as they try to encourage their children to be physically active and choose the best discipline for them. Future athletes themselves often have doubts, too. They wonder if wrestling requires being big and strong, or if martial arts training is only for confident daredevils.
Łukasz Olkowicz's In the Ring, the third volume in the "I Choose My Sport" series, will answer fundamental questions about combat sports. In his book, the author explains the rules of five different disciplines: judo, wrestling, boxing, taekwondo, and fencing. He also explains the training involved, the predispositions required to practice each discipline, and the equipment needed by beginners and advanced competitors. In the Ring, he also provides a wealth of knowledge about contemporary and past champions competing on Olympic rings, mats, and boards. In the book, we learn, for example, how Paweł Nastula began training in judo and who "Papa" Stamm was, as well as the filmed life story of Jerzy Pawłowski.
