Superb!

Reading this book was a great learning experience. It taught me many things. Like did you know that the early ninja could pop most of their bones out of place making it easier to escape? I was mostly interested in the Japanese styles of martial arts but there was a variety of types. This book had interesting stories about the founders, origins, and some people that were very good at a certain (or many) martial arts. It's awesome for school reports.
