Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great Reference Book Comment: This book has an encyclopedic breadth of knowledge between the binding. While many Korean arts shroud their actual origins with fanciful stories, the author does an excellent jobs of remaining polite while accounting for all information available in a tasteful manner. The only complaint I might have is the lack of a coherent timeline or structure to the book, however, the amount of information makes any attempt at organization difficult. Great book for other Korean Martial Art arm-chair historians. More Reviews
