Final vergriffen
From the award-winning series by Good Move Press
Learn the secrets of professional go playing from two top masters of the game
Seven deadly go sins - learn what to avoid
Eight secrets of winning play
Real games - even, high, and low handicap - analyzed in depth
Extensive glossary
The other day I was looking through a book called Knock 'em Down and Take 'em Out: Knife Fighting Techniques From Folsom Prison, in which the author rails against so-called martial arts experts, saying that martial arts training is a lot of stylized nonsense. Ignoring the obvious question - namely, if it's so useless why is the author in prison while the martial artists are appearing in feature films? - I'd like to address what one might call the "foo-foo" factor.
The classic example of the foo-foo factor is the long-term student of karate who knows lots of forms, attends his weekly classes diligently, finally passes the test to become black belt, and then gets beaten up on the way home by the neighborhood bully. As go is also a martial art, the analogue would be the beginning player who studies very hard and has learned a lot of theory, but who's regularly crushed by a player who does everything wrong. When this happens one might indeed question the usefulness of martial arts when knocking 'em down and taking 'em out seems so much more effective. „ I think this is a case of the head of the snake meeting the tail of the dragon. The snake may get in a bite or two, but if the dragon gets annoyed it can crush the snake with a sweep of its tail, hardly even tapping its power. But you don't see dragons very often (even though it's up to us which one we want to be).
