1.Practice Drills for Japanese SwordsmanshipPractice Drills for Japanese Swordsmanship
from Weatherhill
Price: $9.15

Customer Review:
This book had basic moves which is good, but never went into further detail. The illustrations were stick figures from a side view; there was no way to infer anything from them. I would not have gotten this book for my son if I had known the "true" lack of knowledge it contained.

2.By the Sword: A History of Gladiators, Musketeers, Samurai, Swashbucklers, and Olympic ChampionsBy the Sword: A History of Gladiators, Musketeers, Samurai, Swashbucklers, and Olympic Champions
from Random House
Price: $13.50

Customer Review:
Because I'm not a historian but rather someone with an interest for the sport of fencing, I can't speak for the accuracy of the details within the pages of the book. As the author has openly admitted here, there were corrections to be made and he has done them. I applaud his honesty in acknowledging... more info

5.Essence of NinjutsuEssence of Ninjutsu
from McGraw-Hill
Price: $10.73

Customer Review:
This book is a very interesting dive into the realm of Ninjutsu, though, if not a member of the Bujinkan yourself, although the techniques seem straight forward at first, I urge you not to try them. I practiced a martial art outside of Ninjutsu when I read this book, and although the concepts of the... more info

6.The Art and Science of FencingThe Art and Science of Fencing
from McGraw-Hill
Price: $7.23

Customer Review:
Nick Evangelista proves that he is a true master on the subject of fencing. Not only does he know the techniques and "little tricks" which may make an ordinary fencer an extraordinary fencer (he even has advice for a "Southpaw", like myself), he understands to enrich his text with background stories... more info

Customer Review:
Poorly written, filed with photos of three guys who look like they just climbed out of bed. If your interested in the subject buy Christian Henry Toblers book "Fighting with the German Longsword".

8.The Art of Japanese Swordsmanship: A Manual of Eishin-Ryu IaidoThe Art of Japanese Swordsmanship: A Manual of Eishin-Ryu Iaido
from Weatherhill
Price: $7.77

Customer Review:
This book makes no claims to be the be-all-end-all of iaido instruction - it flat-out states that you should go get a sensei. That said, Suino does a good job of providing a good reference for those who know what they're doing and a good starting point for those who don't.
I like how each... more info

9.[no image]The Sword and the Mind
from Overlook Hardcover

Customer Review:
It's a set of brief 16-17th century works, transmitted within the family, from Kamiizumi Hidetsuna, to his son Yagyu Muneyoshi, and to his son Yagyu Munenori. This period led up to the start of the Tokugawa shogun era, a turning point in Japanese history. It is interesting to see how the authors... more info

10.Bokken: Art of the Japanese Sword (Literary Links to the Orient)Bokken: Art of the Japanese Sword (Literary Links to the Orient)
from Black Belt Communications
Price: $7.41

Customer Review:
This book is simple and elegant like the techniques of the Japanese swordsman. Beyond a couple of pages at the beginning of the book introducing the bokken and how to choose one, there is little said in the book other than through the captions to the many photos. This book allowed me to pick up my... more info
