Still working my way through it. It's certainly much better than his Jeet Kune Do: Its Concepts and Philosophies, which was a disappointment.

Just finished rereading "Kodo: Ancient Ways", by Rev. Kensho Furuya, and just began "The Elements of Taoism", by Martin Palmer. The last one is not a martial arts book per se, but I am definitely finding all kinds of parallels.

I'm currently reading the "Martial Arts Book of Five Rings" and also "Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai." I've just started both but so far it's interesting.

The Martial Way and it's Virtues by F.J.Chu

Great book so far. I finished about 1/2 today after buying it. I didn't know it when I picked it up, but he goes into a detailed history of Kenpo as well.

I have read "The Art of War" Before.

Yet I have borrowed a book called "Sunzi Speaks"
An Illustrated version of The Art of War.

Adapted and Illustrated by Tsai Chih Chung
Translated by Brian Bruya

ISBN 0-385-47258-7


I have enjoyed how quick of a read it is. There are a few differeneces in the Translation, yet I would expect this. Translating Ancient Chinese into Modern English, might require a interesting perspective.

Good Read
