Good Day! Everybody!
PLEASE! Can you help me to choose the best books?
I’m interesting in read the history and skill of Martial Arts and easily about words from the teacher of the style and easily from the classic books!
I’m not interesting about their techniques and how to use their forms! Can you please help me which book would be the best for each style?
Or if you have any comments they are welcome!
