Vollständiges Ring-Buch ("Complete Wrestling Manual") is a German wrestling manual by Johann Georg Pascha, first printed in 1663. Pascha's teachings on grappling are quite distinct from all previous wrestling manuals, and place a much greater emphasis on striking. This treatise is based on the wrestling teachings from his Kurze Unterrichtung belangend die pique die Fahne, den Jägerstock, Das Voltesiren, das Ringen, das Fechten auf den Stoss und Hieb, und endlich das Trincieren verferrigts ("Brief Information About the Pike, the Flag, the Half-Pike, the Vaulting Horse, the Grapple, the Fence of Thrust and Blow, and Finally the Carving Knife"; 1657), but in greatly expanded form with numerous illustrations of the key techniques. It would in turn be the source for an even more lavishly illustrated treatment published in 1666 titled Vollstandige Fecht-Ring-und Voltigier-Kunst ("Complete Book of Fencing, Wrestling, and Vaulting").
