 Devin Willis's Humble Thougts October 20, 2007
Devin Willis (Utah)
Ultimate Martial Arts Encyclopedia br / br /For some time, the martial arts students and instructors has waited a well documented book that would catalogue and detail different aspects of martial arts, as Don Draeger and Robert Smith's Comprehensive Asian Fighting Arts (Bushido--The Way of the Warrior) managed to do for the Asian martial arts. br / br /The book Asian Fighting Arts was groundbreaking in both its scope and its depth of coverage of Asian martial traditions. br / br /This book reflected more of the eclectic interest in Martial Arts of the World: An Encyclopedia and I am proud to have bought both. br / br /Both books should be required reading for anyone serious about pursuing the martial arts. If you have questions concerning a particular style, where it started, etc. these books would be helpful in finding those questions. br / br /

This is a good volume. It has a lot of what I consider really interesting articles: French Savate, Dan Inostanto talking about training with Bruce Lee, combat wing chun, etc. I really like this volume.

I just recently saw this book at a local bookstore and was curious. When I took it home I found that this book had alot of information from the basic ideas of various styles to good training tips for competition. I have studied Martial Arts for 12 years and have really found this book has alot of info I didn't know in it. I think all Martial Artists, Beginners to Masters, should have this book in their library.
