bushido_man96 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I shop for books on several different websites, with Martial Arts books being a top pick of mine (go figure ). Anyways, one of these websites sent me a coupon for 25% off if I order by a certain date. So, I ordered 4 books that would have cost me $91, but instead, only ran me for around $68. A good deal, I thought, considering the last book I ordered was about 3 months back, and ran me $175 on its own.Anyways, my happy titles will be enroute very soon!! They are:HIGHLAND KNIFE FIGHTING KRABI-KRABONG RENAISSANCE SWORDSMANSHIP SIGMUND RINGECK’S KNIGHTLY ARTS OF COMBAT https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotokan-kez Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Hey Brian, sounds great, you got a real good deal there (not that i know much about American dollars) Personally i only own one martial arts book and thats martial arts of the world, not very imformative because it only has a small section on each art. Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gzk Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I've been on a bit of a video buying spree myself lately, got Saulo Ribeiro's 6 DVD set on BJJ (Jiu-Jitsu Revolution), Duke Roufus' 4 DVD Muay Thai set, Masters of Grappling 1 (feat. Frank Shamrock, John Will and Rigan Machado) and a 3 DVD set of Muay Thai fights.Tell us all about the Krabi Krabong book when you've had a look, it sounds an interesting style.

How on earth do you fit in all this reading, work, family, posting an average of 16+ messages a day and still get time to go to the Dojo. Let me in on your secret.

bushido_man96 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 As I get the books read, I will let you know how they are. I do a little blurb on most of them in the Martial Arts Research Library sticky after I get them read.Let me in on your secret.Working nights helps out some.

lordtariel Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I'm envious, I haven't gotten any martial arts books in a long time. Let us know how they turn out. There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightOwl Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hey Bushidoman- I know that CMAs are not your particular realm of interest, but if you get a chance, check out the book that I mentioned in the CMA thread: http://www.karateforums.com/sick-and-tired-of-people-putting-down-kung-fu-vt31528-70.htmlI appeal to you as I have no money to buy the book with at the moment and you are the KF residential scholar. : p Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.~Theodore Roosevelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Thanks, NightOwl. Although I don't discuss the Chinese MAs very much, I do find interest in just about every style that is, has been, or will be. I will look into your title, and maybe it will become mine some day as well. Hey, just checked it, and it does look interesting. Those kind of manual set ups are right up my alley, and it has a good price on it, too. Thanks again; I'll look into it. After this load, though, it may be a month or so... https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 The books arrived today!!! I opened it up, and thumbed through them all a bit, and I can't wait to get dug into them. Well worth the price, I think. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
