favorite martial arts books

[chinto01]

When I first left my old instructor I was told to read the book " Karate-Do My Way of Life" By: Gichin Funakoshi. This book gave me a new outlook on the martial arts and how it is more than just tournaments, and punching and kicking. This is one of my favorites because of the message it gives. Pick it up if you get a chance!!

The 'Judo Masterclass Techniques' series are informative.


'Fighting Judo' (1985) by Katsuhiko Kashiwazaki, is both instructive and profound.

Still like that book.

Also, Secret Tactics covers a lotta ground.

They were a great site for getting a good price on a martial arts book, with a good selection too (not just the usual stuff). I wonder what happened?

Great book I should have mentioned it earlier (shakes his head(thinking to himself in a Chris Farley "Tommy Boy"voice how could I be so stupid))
