REVIEWS: “What a great new book! ... a beautiful combination of so many martial arts with profound background information, written by competent authors.” — Helmut Oberlack (Publisher, Taijiquan & Qigong Journal)
“I am happy to see the Journal of Asian Martial Arts [JAMA] finish on a strong note and with great support for this book. I hope that JAMA’s legacy will last for many more generations to come.” — Yang Jwingming, Ph.D. (President, YMAA International)
“This volume celebrates the current high standards and promise for continued excellence in academic research and practical application, using a balanced approach in the martial arts as a fighting practice and equally important cultural or civil practices.” — Richard A. Pegg, Ph.D. (Director and Curator, Asian Art at the MacLean Collection) “The greatest compliment I can pay to any book is to recommend it. ... I heartily recommend this to all. Enjoy!” — William Stockey (karate, 10th dan, and kenjutsu, 9th dan)
“[A] valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject—whether from a practical or academic perspective.” — Laura Shatzkin (Kodansha USA) "The Journal of Asian Martial Arts has been an important beacon of reason and class. In succession, this new book appears to be a slam-dunk hit.” — G. Cameron Hurst, III, Ph.D. (Professor Emeritus of Japanese and Korean Studies, University of Pennsylvania)
“A long-overdue and updated view on the broad field of Asian martial arts from the pioneering publisher in the scholarly approach to martial traditions.” — Allen Pittman (Physical Training Traditions)
“This engaging book serves as a capstone to the wonderful and pioneering effort of the Journal of Asian Martial Arts, bringing the study of martial culture into the 21st century.” — Nyle Monday, M.Sc. (Senior Asst. Librarian, San José State University Library)
