From the earliest Kung Fu systems to the latest scientific methods, these five books cover techniques and forms as they evolved through history. They give an accurate look at what has been taught over hundreds of years. Comparing these arts will give one a firm idea of what works, what has been forgotten by time, and how to craft the perfect self defense system for yourself. If you don't know the origins and evolutions of the martial arts can you really say you know the martial arts?

This encyclopedia was written between 1967 and 2014. That's a lifetime in the martial arts.

Volume 2 Kang Duk Won Korean Karate

Volume 3 Kwon Bup American Karate

Volume 4 Outlaw Karate The One Year Black Belt

Volume 5 Buddha Crane Karate The First Matrixed Art
