    This is and alway will be a must for any practicianer of any martial art, I've kept the book ion my library and made several purchases along the way as gifts for friend in the martial way! All have used it one way or another as blue print to express & explain to student the bio mechanical dynamic of sphere and balance of timing and flow and where they eventually become unified . This book is not be a comparison to any other it should use and as part of encyclopedia of wealth of information!
