DESCRIPTION:
Like other DK volumes, this book's strong point is its full-color photographs. . Still, this book provides a good overview of the myriad fighting arts.?Cathryn A. From School Library Journal Grade 5 Up. Camper, Minneapolis Public LibraryCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. Though one could memorize a set of movements, only a video or live instructor can show how they flow together. One or more double-page spreads are dedicated to each major fighting style. For interactive movements, such as defending yourself against an attacker, the photos are less successful because they don't show motion or details. Some of these techniques are fairly dangerous and not meant to be used by untrained students. The photos are fairly good, and readers do get a sense of how judo differs from kendo or aikido. For static moves, like stances, the photos teach fairly well. Mos
Welsh Academy of Martial Arts I took part in the making of this book. My two students and my son Rhydian Tolcher-James are also part of the book.I would rate this book as perfect for the beginner who is looking to join a reputable martial art and organisation.David had the right idea when he wrote this very popular book. He needs congratulating.I am trying to get in touch with the author David Mitchell to tell him of the response we have had.. Sensei Kerner's Two Cents I recommend this book to all young karate students who would like to explore their own and other types of martial arts. Is also good for those who are interrested in karate. I've read this book, and it's filled with fun facts and tips, and bright, colorful photographs. This book is great!. From 8-year old Charlie A Customer I checked this book out of the library three times and decided to buy it with my birthday money. I love the pictures and all the types of martial arts covered.It's GREAT!
