A very detailed & although a little dated, a very well researched book.
Just a small point if you haven't come across this anomaly before, apart from its title, it is absolutely identical to a book called The Way of the Warrior: The Paradox of the Martial Arts
A large and invaluable source of information on the origin of the worlds martial arts, worth a prominent place on any book shelf no matter what style or art you practice.

Misleading
15 Mar 2007
Format:Hardcover
Do not, do not, do not, buy this book. It is NOT what you think it is. Some of you may have stumbled across "The Fighter's Notebook" in the three ring binder. Like me, you most likely ended up here because you saw the price and thought you were getting a deal... but also like me... you'd be wrong. The majority of the description is wrong. The title of the book I actually received is called "The Fighting Arts." It isn't even close to being 600 pages! It is essentially a generic description of a wide variety of martial arts. If you're looking to learn some MMA, Jujitsu, or any list of techniques this is not the book you want. Spend the money and buy the $70 to $90 version.
wrong reviews
24 July 2002
Format:Paperback
This is a fine book for anyone's martial arts collection, however I already owned a copy. The reviews from publishers and other customers are actually for "The Fighter's Notebook", a great resource for buyers interested in a purchase they can actually learn mixed-martial art techniques from. I hope the current wrong reviews are corrected and were an honest mistake.
Invaluable reference material
27 Dec 2001
Format:Hardcover
Not really a book but rather a no nonsense reference of mostly BJJ techniques (typically demonstrated JKD style with T-shirts and wresstling boots). Techniques are numerous, more than any other. Basically a big ring binder. I find it usefully to fill in the areas which I haven't been able to cover with my instructor until I get there. In other words, it gives you the theory and when you get the practice you jot down your own notes as per your inclass practical.
