A Quick Birds-Eye View

Excellent brief introduction to a wide variety of subjects having to do with the martial arts. Sometimes, I wish the coverage was not quite so brief but, all in all, this is an excellent book and meets the need for general information quite admirably.

Full of information you can't get elsewhere

I bought this book a year ago and I keep using it to look up martial arts information. Although some of the entries could be longer, the book introduces lots of styles, techniques and related information. It's a great place to start if you have a martial arts question or just want to know more about martial arts.
