Summary: Great Book for Beginers
Comment: Having no formal martial arts training I found this book very informative and easy to use. It wasn't too complex for me to understand. The information is presented in a well balanced form of historical awareness and application of the techniques. Though there is no subsitute for true martial arts instruction, this book will help anyone interested in learning the art of Japanese swordmanship to get started.

Summary: A good introductory book for bokken
Comment: Bokken Art of the Japanese Sword is a good introductory book. It shows all of the basics of stance, movement, and the basic cutting moves.
Good quality photographs accompany the movement sequences, similar to other martial arts books of this type.
The only complaints would be that the book
is a bit on the sparse side and does not
have many combination moves, advanced
moves, or kata to aid in training.
For the relatively low price, it is still a good
value for an introductory guide, but the reader
will quickly want to move up to a more
advanced text to accompany their training.

Summary: A good introduction...
Comment: As an Aikido student I was looking for a reference guide for katas and exercises so that I could practise outside the dojo. This book does not provide complex single katas ( it only has two very basic ones )so I was disappointed in that respect, however I did find the various introductory articles very educational and certianly relevant to any martial art whether you are trainig with a sword, a staff, or are doing empty handed techniques. My advice is: buy the book ad keep in mind Mr. Lowry's advice at all times but don't expect a visual feast of amazing pictures ( they are just plain black and white ). If you take this book as an introduction you will like it and hopefully it will push you to train harder and find out more about Japanese swordsmanship.
