Just so you all know, much of what I write on does come from research and that research is as follows where the emphasis is what I write concerning self-defense. I HIGHLY and STRONGLY recommend these titles for your self-defense training and practice. As to the practical applications of what you learn here you will have to find a solid, dependable and expert source such as an instructor of finding the seminars that many of these authors provide. I often write what I know but many times forget or fail to provide a proper bibliography. I am trying to rectify this and the following will be added to future postings just to make sure everyone knows about these sources.

Somewhat relevant, Charles: Steven Pinker's The Better Angels Of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined. It's a big book (700+ pgs) which includes a ton of data and historical facts to support his controversial thesis. Not a martial arts book, obviously, but tangential to your list.
ReplyDeleteThanks John, will look into that book today :-)
