[Darren Sapp · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book presents a very thorough overview of martial arts with an American (Western) lens. The only thing missing is a brief discussion of the many different styles practiced in America that would certainly be helpful for those wanting to learn more about the martial arts in a general sense.

One of the best books of martial arts philosophy. This book was obviously written from the heart.

I read this over a decade ago. At the time a great book and a critical book to read for those who were or are dedicating their lives to studying and teaching martial arts.
