Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I just bought this book, and I think it's a pretty good intro to get the feel of what goes on when sparring, and how to think, what to look for, etc. I recently started a karate class, and I was wondering how I should begin to think about sparring, because it was something completely new to me. This...

All About Bones: An Owner's Manual Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is not really a book review, but a warning that if you're looking for books on Osteopathy, as I was, this has nothing to do with that topic.

Japanese Sword Drawing : A Sourcebook Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was very disappointed once I`d had the chance to examine my copy of Mr Zier`s offering.To be fair, the manual is presented as a "source book for Iaido students" and not a "how to" book. Never the less I suspect that even longtime practitioners of these forms would be hard pressed to follow the fairly...

Functional Anatomy for Sport and Exercise: Quick Reference Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is an anatomy book with virtually no illustration, and none of the muscles.
