Book Reviews of Sevillian Steel: The Traditional Knife-Fighting Arts Of Spain
Book Review: A novel, a fictional book, not truth at all
Summary: 1 Stars
All this book is made of lies. There are no "navaja fighting" schools in Spain. I am from Spain, I have trained for more than 30 years in many martial arts including some western, and I have no information about that. It sounds extrange that Mr. Loriega (not a spanish guy) arrives Spain and finds easily what many martial artists from Spain don't know it exists!
If you change the name of the Spanish master by "Joda" and "Navaja" by "laser sable", and "Sevilla" for "Dagobah", then you get "Mr. Loriega" is "Luke Skywalker". I think he would like to, and that is the reason of the book. Mr. Loriega has fully invented the story, just to pack it together with his Manual del Baratero translation and make himself some kind of Spanish Martial Arts Master.
Anyway, the book can be read as a novel, and you can enjoy reading it as if you read a book about Luke Skywalker learning laser sable fighting in his Jedi Academy. Both are fiction in the same level.
