Product Description:
This is the highly anticipated follow-up to the best-selling title Martial Arts Around the World. Like the very first volume in the series, Martial Arts Around the World, Volume 2, explores the martial techniques and philosophies developed over the span of history by different cultures around the globe. This time, we take you to Africa, Europe, Asia and South America to reveal the exotic and lethal arts each of these continents has produced. And as an added bonus, we focus especially on those martial arts that have proven their effectiveness through no-hold-barred combat.

First off I think that the Indian fellow that rated this book a 1 star is angry because it doesn't acknowledge India as the birthplace of martial arts.This book gives you an excellent view (although limited due to length of the book)into various martial arts.The rare glimpses into the African martial arts alone are worth the price of the book.

This book is not only perhaps the most historically accurate on the market, it is a refreshing change from the "my style is bettter than your style" or "this is a fact because Sensei Nobody told me so." Author Soet depicts modern techniques in an easy-to-follow, easy to learn form format -- he ranges from mixed martial arts to African martial arts to the latest innovations! The entire martial arts field is so overrun now with people who know just enough to get themselves into trouble setting themselves up as authorities -- I was so glad to see a legitimate authority finally put together a competent work. I have perhaps over 200 articles saved in my files, at least half of them authored by John Soet.

The book is basically a collection of few techniques of various styles and not many styles are covered.The author has misrepresented many facts regarding the orgin of martial arts,he needs to do a lot of research before coming up with his theory .
