5.0 out of 5 stars Everything You Wanted to Know About Martial Arts...and More!, February 1, 2000

This review is from: Martial Arts Info Guide (Plastic Comb)

I'd definitly have to say that I'm a novice in the martial arts world. This book has really given me a lot of useful information that can be applied to everyday situations. It provided me with practical self defense techniques as well as how to punch and kick correctly. It answered a lot of frequently asked martial arts questions, and didn't necessarily focus on any certain style. I particularly liked the list of common martial arts terms, and their meanings. This book is a nice easy read that you can pick up anytime and reference to, or read in your free time. If you're involved in martial arts, or just find an interest in it, this book is a "must have" for your collection. I can't wait for volume 2!

This book fills in a lot of the information other martial arts books leave out. It dispells many common myths and untruths associated with the martial arts community. It contains a lot of practical information useful for both the novice and experienced martial arts practitioners. This book is a very fun, informative, and easy read. A must for any martial artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Addition To Any Martial Artist's Library!!, July 10, 2001

The martial arts world has been waiting for a book like this! The Martial Arts Info Guide is packed full of extremely useful knowledge. This book covers everything from how to punch and kick correctly, to how to avoid bar fights, along with answers to such puzzling questions such as, "do black belts have to register with the police?" In all my years of reading I have not come across a book as fun to read, while still instilling the basics of martial arts training. I believe that I am a better martial artist because I have read this book. Chris Pellitteri is a wonderful author, and I hope I am fortunate enough to read more of his books in the future.
