The Importance of a
Martial Art Book..
What is the importance of a martial art book?
Why not just watch a video or DVD instead?
Books are yesterdays news..or at least this is what I have heard from some younger martial artists. Is this true? Of course not!
 The very concept of a book makes it an important part of my warrior martial art training. Martial art training books are great for for a quick reference prior to class, while practicing a self defense technique or when looking for that kata explaination.
I especially enjoy my collection of martial art training books when I am in a hurry. A DVD or video requires a commitment on your time. You have to go, put it in the machine and then find the spot for the one technique or information you are looking for.
A book allows you to quickly find what you are looking for, while helping you retain the information better. I love my technology but there is just nothing like reading and studying a book or training manual.
Now, a martial art book is certianly not a subsitute for human instruction, but it can add to the quality of your own personal training.
A book doesn't have to be instructional. It can teach you valuable lessons by telling as story that involves the martial arts.
A martial art book can even wisk you away to a long forgoten land where the warrior arts were part of everyday society. With all that said lets investigate some the different martial arts books available on the market today.
The martial art hall of Warrior Training has recently added a martial art supply store that has quite a nice martial art book selection.
