Great book for martial artists.

Post by ai no ahodori »

On a trip to London earlier this week I popped into the Japan Centre bookshop on Piccadilly and got some great books on bushido, but I also got a copy of 'Fudebakudo: the Way of the Exploding Pen', which is a book of cartoons about the martial arts which is very, very funny. Anyone who has ever done any martial arts training will find some things very familiar - especially the cartoon on Tatami-waza, pre- and post-session mat wrangling. Also not to be missed is the hokikoki kata...

Recommended!
Eep!
