Soft cover. Zustand: Good. Reissure with Revisions. This book covers all the Oriental fighting arts from aikido to karate (including Thai boxing and Chinese kung-fu) but it is not an instructional book. It is a guide through the complexities of choosing an art, and to the various training methods and equipment, diet and fitness. The authors have assembled a team of experts to advice on these topics, so that any beginner will feel at ease with the unfamiliar etiquette, language and ideas of the training hall. In addition to these informative essays, this book provides a comprehensive 'access' section on clubs and associations (with addresses and phone numbers), and a carefully selected further reading list. Slight wear and a few creases to cover. Artikel-Nr. 018485
