Description

An unrivaled overview of the history and philosophy of martial arts.

Martial arts have transform more and more popular in North The united states over the past century. Yet few books for children present an overview of the history and philosophy of these ancient disciplines. The Martial Arts Book does just that.

Learn about the samurai who preferred to use strategy over violence and who were trained to be aware of the sound of breathing or the movement of joints to tell if someone was once asleep or just pretending. Meet the female ninjas referred to as Deadly Flowers, and the last ninja, Seiko Fujita (1899-1966), who stuck needles in his skin and ate rat poison, lizards, and even a brick to be told to resist pain and poison. A concluding chapter will help in choosing the proper style and school of martial arts for you.
