The Newsletter of the Martial Arts Training ServiceBook Review
The Overlook Martial Arts Reader
Edited by Randy F. Nelson
The Overlook Press, 1989
Reviewed by Barbara YoungThis is not a how-to book of martial arts techniques. Rather, this collection of essays gives insight into the history, philosophy, development and training of a variety of martial arts, including jujitsu and aikido.
The essays include selections from such works as Eugen Herrigel's Zen in the Art of Archery, Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, Miyamoto Musashi's classic A Book of Five Rings, and Terry Dobson's famous aikido story, "A Soft Answer."
This book is a must-have for all martial artists, no matter what their style.
