elbows_and_knees Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 there may be an MA shop in your town - there is one in mine. I didn't list all the books I own, as that wasn't the topic - but aefbird has me beat regardless.If you don't have an ma store in your city, check online. I've gotten some great stuff on ebay and amazon.

Qui Gon Tzu Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 If asked I would recommend “The Tao of Jeet Kune Do” by Bruce Lee “Evil cannot be conquered in the world, it can only be resisted within one’s self.” – Master PoMy Cup is Empty
A. Orstrom Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 I own these books:"The Book of Five Rings" - Miyamoto Musashi"Shodan" - Shihan Howard Collins (7 dan kyokushin) Signed by Shihan Collins."Den Store Bog om Karate" (The big book about karate)- Jørgen Albrechtsen I am going to buy more eventually, there are a million options and they're not that hard to come by where I live. And amazon.co.uk is always good for an interesting new aquisition. The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence,but in the mastery of his passions.Alfred, Lord Tennyson
