WARRIOR WISDOM VOL 01:
A WORTHY ADDITION TO A "WISDOM LIBRARY!"
The content of Mr. Sander's book has already been described most accurately by other reviewers, the maxims or sayings are first rate, although I would have enjoyed some more background info on the maxims themselves (eg historical precedents, biographical details). A question might arise however - if one already has some experience in the Arts - or other books on quotations - would this make a good purchase? I believe it would, particularly if one is seeking to share some (martial) wisdom with a young loved one or a beginning student. This is where Mr. Sanders shines. His style is simple and direct, yet still contains enough imagery and anecdotes to communicate despite a possible age gap; as a seasoned instructor might address a younger student when seeking to assist them in the formation of judgement, criterion or how they should THINK. His opening lines on the facets of Bushido not being solely for the benefit of the practitioner (but for the rest of society, through the practitioner) are a fine example of this. It is as though Bodhi compiled his most heartfelt lessons from his years of instruction and put them on paper for you...

Volume 6 Front Kick by Shawn Kovacich is a very well written book from beginning to end. The diagrams make it easy to follow and understand from beginners all the way to seasoned martial artists. This book breaks down each step into several technical points so that you can easily understand the kick fully and perform it correctly. Each technical point is clearly illustrated by pictures and illustrated foot positions so it's easy to understand by seeing the break down of each technical point of the kick. In closing I would like to say, "Well done Shawn this is one of the best martial art book I have ever read."
