People
often ask me how they can get
better at their martial arts.
I listen then typically reply
practise more. However, as my
instructor says "Practise
makes Permanent!". Thus,
ensure that what you practise
is proper technique and correct
your mistakes. However, you
do not only need to practise
martial arts to gain martial
skills. Other sports can help
keep your reflexes fast and
your body strong. However, I
enjoy reading to keep my mind
active and full of new ideas.
Like many people involved in
martial arts "I can't get
enough good books!". In
my spare time, I enjoy reading
all sorts of books and magazines.
After all, many of these are
like the martial artists trade
journals. Many of the books
I read are about the martial
arts and I regularly study and
refer back to my favourite tomes,
Shingo Oghami's Wado Ryu Karate
Books. However, the odd fiction
novel slips in there, such as
"Eric Van Lustbader or
Orson Scott Card". I can
learn all sorts from a well
written piece of fiction, especially
if it is properly researched,
such as Orson Scott Card's "Enders
Game".
Anyhow, here a few reviews of
some of the books which I've
read recently and enjoyed. Some
of these books I've just finished,
others I refer back to on a
frequent basis and virtually
study their contents. |

Angry
White Pyjamas by Robert Twigger:
Living
in Japan and having no prior
experience of the martial arts.
Robert (A poet!!!) joins the
Tokyo Riot Police in a year
long, brutally demanding course
of budo training.
I loved this book and couldn't
put it down. If you thought
that Aikido was all chanting
and doing "roly-polys",
you'll be in for a little bit
of a surprise. Robert studies
at an intense and often brutal
martial arts school, where bones
get broken, you are disciplined
constantly with kneeling. Multiple
bruises and intense training
in Yoshinkai Aikido. An inspiring
and funny read.... |

|
| The
way of the Warrior - The Paradox
of the martial arts by Howard
Reid and Michael Croucher: Where
to begin.... This is one of
those books which you need to
study, a little too heavy for
bed time reading. It covers
the great Masters of India,
China, Japan and the Philippines
with a personal insight into
their respective martial arts.
It is worth buying, just for
the Pictures in the book!!! |

| Martial
Arts of the Orient by Peter
Lewis: When
I first saw this book (early
1990's), I simply studied the
pictures for hours. This book
features some of the best photographs
on "...Kung Fu - Karate
- Jiu Jitsu - Judo - Aikido
- Ninja - Taekwon-do" I
have ever seen. This book features
the origins and some techniques
off the above arts. I particularly
liked the little touches which
the book has, whereby it features
snippets on the less commented
upon arts, such as Shorinji
Kempo. |
