Better than expected!

The book appears,at first, to be to small to have any " serious " information. Wrong. While it is a rellativly quick and easy read, the book is packed with useful insite and information for the expert and novice matial artist. The book should be read again and again to. CONGRATULATIONS PROFESSOR!---JFM JR

Beginners Budo

This book is a must for the shelves of any traditional Budo practitioner or beginner in Budo. As a teacher of Budo myself, i have recommended this book to most of my students or the ones i feel will gain most from the book. It is an easy to read full of correlations to life and Budo. The author writes in an entertaining and informative fashion that gives you a thirst for more. The examples are memorable and it is a book that can be returned to time and time again.

Thorough, refreshing, and informative

This book is becoming a bible as I begin to read it for the third time. It's a way of life. I'm forever greatful to Mr. Suino for writing it.

Excellent overview of Japanese Martial Arts

A truely excellent overview of the Japanese Martial Arts including discussion of the philosophical and historical basis common to all of them. Suino provides a general description of each of the major budo styles practiced today, with comments that will help the reader to understand which art might best suit his or her needs. He also makes it clear that serious practice is very different from what is offered by most strip mall Karate/Taekwondo/Jujitsu/Ninja schools, and stresses the importance of taking the time to seek out good instructors and their programs. A must read for the serious martial artist and anyone contemplating studying the budo.
