5.0 out of 5 stars 'A book not only for the Martial Artist', 15 Aug 2000
Robert Twigger is hilarious! The true tale of a geeky oxford scholar a drift in Japan taking part in probably the most intense martial arts course in the world is enough to make your sides hurt. Twigger's literature skills show in his amusing descriptions of everyday life in Japan, sharing a 5 square meter room with a hairy Israelian paratropper, dealing with blood stained dogi and abusive instructers makes the book difficult to put down. I reccomend this book to anyone as he describes his ordeal on the 'sensusei course' in terms which the non martial artist can understand. This is my personal reccomendation for book of the year, and I would suggest reading 'Big Snake' the second master piece my Robert Twigger.
