I loved this book because I am interested in Martial Arts! I highly recommend it.

[Ahdom · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was a great little rundown of some of the basics from different styles. This DK book is geared towards younger readers, but serves as a great intro for readers of any age. The visuals were really great in helping to show the defenses in the book as well as descriptive text to help perform it. This is a great jumping off point for further reading for those interested in the Martial Arts.

The pictures are really good, but David was not interested in reading any of the words.
