SAMURAI FIGHTING ARTS introduces the world of traditional Japanese
martial arts and will provide readers with a deeper understanding of
Bushido and Japan. Also known as Kobudo, these traditional martial arts
can be seen as a continuation of samurai culture, and comprise a number
of styles formulated in the samurai era that are still being taught
today.

Aiming to develop Bujutsu (martial arts) and Hyoho (strategy) to the
highest possible degree, the samurai devised a code consisting of over
eighteen arts. A samurai was expected to have impeccable manners and be
an expert in martial arts, but never to be a killer. His words contained
his soul, which he cultivated by learning poetry and art, and by
practicing Zen meditation.

Fumon Tanaka is the world-famous Kobudo grandmaster. He knows all the
Kobudo styles, and his teaching of arts such as Iaijutsu and Jujitsu
fascinates many students around the world. This is his first book in
English and it offers readers around the world the opportunity to learn
the lesser known arts of Kobudo, particularly the way of Nito Ken - the
two swords technique established by the famous samurai Miyamoto Musashi -
and to further understand his spirit.

Lavishly illustrated with around 1200 photographs and pictures, SAMURAI
FIGHTING ARTS reveals many secret skills of Kobudo.
