Book Reviews of Bokken: Art of the Japanese Sword (Literary Links to the Orient)
Book Review: A good introductory book for bokken
Summary: 4 Stars
Bokken Art of the Japanese Sword is a good introductory book. It shows all of the basics of stance, movement, and the basic cutting moves.
Good quality photographs accompany the movement sequences, similar to other martial arts books of this type.
The only complaints would be that the book
is a bit on the sparse side and does not
have many combination moves, advanced
moves, or kata to aid in training.
For the relatively low price, it is still a good
value for an introductory guide, but the reader
will quickly want to move up to a more
advanced text to accompany their training.
