Martial Arts of the World $180 ABC-CLIO's Martial Arts of the World: An Encyclopedia of History and Innovation is the most authoritative reference ever published on combat disciplines from around the world and across history. Coverage includes Shaolin monks, jousting knights, Roman gladiators, Westerner gunfighters, samurai warriors, and heavyweight boxers. These iconic figures and many more are featured in this title, as well as representatives of less well known but no less fascinating systems, all vividly characterized by expert contributors from around the world who are themselves martial arts practitioners. Martial Arts of the World comprises 120 entries in two volumes. The first volume is organized geographically to explore the historic development of martial arts styles in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The second volume looks at martial arts thematically, with coverage of belief systems, modern martial arts competitions, and a wide range of such topics as folklore, women in martial arts, martial arts and the military, and martial arts and the media. |
What is your understanding of martial arts history?
What is your understanding of martial arts history, in general? OR in your particular art of choice, in particular? (VERY IMPORTANT: Cite your web, authoritative historical university-level scholarly sources highly desired, but not required)
Read A History of Warfare by John Keegan to get the idea about how to view the martial tradition. Once you do this, pick various historical books on individual styles, regions, and conflicts that shaped the way that mankind wages war. Even today, the ways that individuals fight has changed to a degree due to equipment (on the battlefield), weapons, and the legal risks we incur when we fight in "civilized" society.
