The Martial Arts Companion: Culture, History, and Enlightenment

The Martial Arts Companion

Culture, History, and Enlightenment

1992 • 124 pages

Outdated but delightful primer on martial arts.

Believed that I had never heard of Cynthia Rothrock until watching the documentary Iron Fists and Kung Fu Kicks but turns 0ut I had just forgotten entire swathes of this book.

The Bruce Lee anecdote is very entertaining - probably not true but very entertaining nonetheless.

Despite the cover, really doesn't get into ninjutsu much.

Very funny to hear the author promise that Jackie Chan will be a massive star in the USA. They also promise the same thing for Ernie Reyes Jr.
