Academic Approaches to Martial Arts Research, Vol. 1

by Michael DeMarco (Compiler), John Donohue, David Lowry, Willy Pieter, Kimberley Taylor

Overview

This two-volume anthology conveniently contains useful academic tools for studying the combative arts. Each chapter will prove special to all interested in the intellectual side to the martial arts. Some chapters provide fine details for categorizing the variety of what we commonly refer to as "martial arts." Other chapters focus on the martial arts as living culture and social implications. The quality of instruction can either encourage negative traits such as violence or allow a practitioner to experience a self-transformation that improves character. Note: Print edition is a single volume.
