This author tried too hard to make his writing sound sophisticated, using big words & complicated sentence structure. He also consistently used the passive voice, which further complicated his sentences.
That pet peeve aside, there were numerous typographical & reference errors that I had to keep asking myself if I had missed something. After reviewing the errors a few times, I had to admit that I hadn't made an error finally. The author made references to meridian points that ... just didn't exist.
I really wanted to like this book; unfortunately, I almost didn't finish it due to the labored, complicated sentences & errors. It would have been the first book I haven't finished in almost 10 years. I'm glad I finished it, if only for that reason.

Fantastic book about the fighting origins of martial arts. Author does a great job of seperating out fighting from sports oriented movements without showing a great deal of bias towards either. This was a great find at a book sale for me.
