Authors Note:
While reading this book, (even the “final” edited version when it’s complete) you
may notice several typos, grammatical errors, and, in some cases, an outright
slaughtering of the English language.
There is a reason for this.
You see, some people actually enjoy looking for these things. And, since it’s my
driving ambition to please as many people as possible -- I’ve intentionally left
some in here.

About the Author
From:
Master Scott Palangi
Tappan, NY
Tuesday, 8:37 p.m.
As you can see, although this is a “Manual” type of a book, I’ve decided to place a
personalized letter, here in the beginning, so that you’ve got no choice but to stop
and give it a glance.
Why have I decided to do this?
Well, for two important reasons actually:
One is, this book is “personal” to me. Not just because my name is plastered
throughout the pages 127 times, but rather because, over the years and years of
teaching... and the thousands of hours of training... and the “choice” to dedicate
the rest of my life educating others through the martial arts “way of life” – I’ve
been fortunate enough to have been in the right place, at the right time, meeting
the right people, to learn the “right styles” (evolution-wise, as a martial artist)
with... ultimately The Best Instructors in the world.
I’ve been fortunate in finding the right instructors. Sometimes, I’m even a little
self-righteous about it, too. But isn’t it “okay” to be so proud of one’s teachers? I
hope so... because... I can’t even imagine where I’d be without your dedication.
In a very real sense, this book was sparked by you. All of you.
The second reason is, although this book’s creation was “inspired” by my
instructors....”spark” alone, is rarely ever enough to finish anything. You need fuel.
The fuel that carried this book to completion.... was.... is.... and will always be.....
The Students
Took twenty years to discover that the men, women, and children I dare call “my
students”.... have actually been “my teachers” the entire time.
Hence, ‘If you really want to learn something.... teach it.”
Yours for martial arts excellence,
Scott Palangi

Acknowledgements
In addition to the “martial” inspiration from my teachers having a hand in this book,
there’s much “human” inspiration too. You see, sometimes, we don’t even know
when we’re being “taught”. And, many times, without such “teachers” our wild
ideas will remain ideas until somebody comes along and “paints a picture” of what’s
possible. In the case of this book, the “first creation” happened when a professional
photographer showed me what’s possible.
That said, I’d like to thank the man who actually bumped this project onto the
“production line”, Chris Marksbury, of CM Photos.com. C.M., had it not been for
your interest-turned-love for the martial arts... and for your and Gina’s relentless
support, both now and during, during Sabrina’s Black Belt Journey.... and for the
hours you’ve both spent giving of yourselves both inside the dojo during classes,
and afterwards on projects such as this.... if it wasn’t for all The Marksbury’s have
done, this book would still be a bunch of “round to it’s” stuck in my head.. Thank
you for demonstrating to me that we really do have something special and worth
capturing on film, and for always going the extra mile(s).
Once while discussing the “becoming” of martial arts master, my teacher once
noted, “How can a master be ‘master’ if he has no student to teach”.
Likewise, ‘”What good is a book, if nobody wants to read it?”
Had it not been for “the original audience” this book was intended for.... and for
their sincere interest during each session.... I wouldn’t have even bothered to write
it in the first place – let alone, ask you to shine within it’s pages, inspiring others.
Thank you Jack Damico, Doreen Misciagna, and David Yamada, for demonstrating
your technical excellence in this book, and more importantly, that, for you, “Palangi
Marital Arts & Kickboxing” is more than just a “workout”, it’s a way of life.
Your interest keeps me interested.
