Having already reviewed Bodhi Sanders first Volume of “Warrior Wisdom,” I was most pleasantly surprised at the quality of his 2nd volume in this series. Truthfully, I felt -- for reasons as yet not entirely clear – that this 2nd volume was actually better than the first. Perhaps it was that reading through its quotes I felt Sensei Sanders was being less didactic and more reflective, or perhaps the quotes in this volume were simply less familiar to me, but in any case, I found it an improvement over even his first volume (which was quite good, although I did not rate it quite as high as this volume). The quotes are to be savored -- much like fine chocolate, which is best eaten a little at a time and slowly, allowing the aroma to penetrate one’s olfactory tract and stimulate parts deep in the brain -- forming potent yet hidden neurological connections that can alter one’s experiences, conclusions, and (hopefully) behavior. Well done Sensei. Consider this a most respectful verbal bow.

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."
