Extreme Martial Arts: Reference Guide to the World's Fighting Arts; Volume 2 "A to B" (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798860912076)

Extreme Martial Arts: Reference Guide To The World's Fighting Arts Volume 2; "A to B" is the 2nd of a multi-volume set of encyclopedias from A to Z and can be considered the Encyclopedia Britannica of martial arts encyclopedias as it is literally the world's most extensive encyclopedia devoted to anything martial-arts-related. All the information in the series of books has been cross-referenced and checked multiple times with most of the information coming from key figures, historians, Masters, and Grandmasters of the martial arts in order to ensure credibility and truthfulness, of which I provide not only a list of recourses for you, the reader, to be able to check, but also the contact info of many of those who supplied the information. The book(s) are intended to serve as a general reference tool for anyone interested in the martial arts of the world, its history, stories, and legends, along with translations and explanations of martial-related terms. The book(s) cover 1000s of fighting styles of the world (with this one having information on 110 styles out of the 347 topics covered), with a chart devoted to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean pronunciation; sections about the martial history of various countries; information about key figures of the martial arts; information about key events in martial art history; various things (kata/forms, techniques, etc.) that is related to martial arts training; and much, much more. Including illustrations from yours truly, amazing photos that have been taken by me and/or provided and given to me by others, and a bit about myself.
It is my love, respect, and admiration for the martial arts that has inspired me to write this multi-volume book series, in the hopes that you, the reader, enjoy learning the facts and history as much as I did; and maybe, inspire you to take a wonderful journey in the martial arts training of your choice. Thank you and God Bless.
