Ok, so the three on the right are DVD's, but I think I do have the book with the longest title in the world next to them ;-)

Got a ways to go I see. :D
Yes, plenty of free space on the bookshelf. Fortunately Iain Abernethy is bringing some of his Podcasts out as a book, so there's one. And the next time attend one of Sensei Burke's Seminars, it would be rude not to buy another of his.

Other recommendations are gratefully accepted though ;-)

My son has an autographed copy of his book on Sai.

Here's what I was able to find on my shelves with a quick search for martial arts related books. Probably have some more but my bookshelves are such a mess that it's hard to find things. I've probably had 2-3 times this number over the course of my life but I have to trim things down occasionally. I have a lot more videos than books, but most of them are in binders or on hard drives or on apps, so they don't line up so impressively.

Book accumulate in my house at an alarming rate. All kinds of books. If I saved every Martial Arts book I ever read I would have no place to sleep, so I get rid of them. Man, I love books.

And as Groucho said, "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read."

I've got some of those books, most notably The Little Black Book Of Violence. I've just read a little so far, need to do more reading.

Nice subject. I cannot share my current collection because it is a shame. Most of my books are miles from here.

Which ones do you prefer and why?

About self-defence, I like reading Rory Miller. About fighting / strategy, my #1 is The Art of War.

Karate my art by Choki Motobu, good if you're still interested in karate bunkai.
