Sobre este artículo
Erie: Via Media Publishing, 1999. The author was a prime mover in the development of interest in Asian martial arts in America ? first mastering several disciplines during a CIA posting to Taiwan in the early 1960s, Smith returned to the US to teach and promote martial arts for the remainder of his long career. A prodigious writer, he wrote, edited or co-translated some 14 books and numerous articles on Asian martial arts. The present volume, written at the end of his career, is a memoir of his many years of involvement, describing the evolution of fighting arts in the West and many of the masters with whom he trained and collaborated. Replete with anecdotes, opinions and humour, this is a ?must read? for any with interest in one or more of the Asian martial disciplines. 24 x 16 cm., vii, 390 pp., over 300 monochrome illustrations, glossary, index. . First Edition. Hard bound. New/New.
