A Must Read For Anyone Thinking Of Getting Involved With The Martial Arts Of Their Choice

Before you purchase this book, keep in mind that this book and the material in it are the culminated views of the author's perspective and perception of the martial arts. Now having said that, the author gives you her unique insight and perspective into exactly what to be aware of as you begin your search and subsequent journey with the martial art of your choice. The author offers some really good advice for not only the beginning student, but also for instructors as well. While some may find some of this information irrelevant or immaterial to their particular style, I find that the vast majority of it to be very useful. Although I will admit that some of it may not be as useful to some as it may be to others, but if you are serious about joining a traditional martial art school, then this book is indeed for you.
