Hey, This book is really good for all you martial-artists out there. I especialy liked this book, because my sensei is in it, but also because it was written well, and really shows that everybody is equal, and everyone can suceed!! My sensei is Thomas R. Joiner. He is in this book, has 5th degree black belt, and has written many excellent books such as: "The Warrior as Healer", and "Chinese Herbal Medicine Made Easy". I would recomend those books for people looking for alternative to western medicine. This book was great, and you should get it!

Very informative volume. I enjoyed learning about the African American contribution to the Arts,that is too often left out of publications. Here are most of the early pioneers,some are no longer with us,but acomplishments are really outstanding! I recommend this book to any Martial Artist,with a thirst for knowledge.
