4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of great history and some interesting general info, 7 Jan 2007
By Terry Tozer "TJSKA.com" (Reading & Bracknell, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I like the way this book was set up. It's easy to read with little "quizzes" all the way through. It's got great info on the origin of kata (names and creator), information on Japanese martial arts terminology, and some interesting "general martial arts knowledge" info. For example, they say that a well executed martial arts punch can generate 600 foot/pounds of pressure and that bone has a structural strength greater than that of concrete. Are these stats true? I'm not sure, but it makes for an interesting read.
