4-6World of Martial Arts series.
These volumes provide a serviceable (if uninspired) introduction to the art of self-defense. Readers learn about the differences between ninjas and samurai, and specific martial arts weapons. Grappling addresses the power of leverage. Movies highlights such stars of cinema as Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan; Masters presents legendary teachers from Musashi to Funakoshi. Crisp photographs on most pages illustrate moves, figures, and weapons. Glos., ind. Review covers these World of Martial Arts titles: Grappling, Martial Arts Movies, Masters & Heroes, Ninja, Samurai, and Weapons.
