Review
Mr. Neff uses his knowledge of the Asian fighting arts to educate others. Illustrated with photographs, the books supply the proper techniques and the principles of self-protection and fitness. Pictures on every page augment the easy and briefly stated essentials. This series promises to be very popular in today's society. Students (and adults) will be able to benefit from it. -- Instructor
