Title: Best guide, great illustrations
Review: This book would get five stars if only for the terrific illustrations. I've looked at a lot of martial arts books over the years, being an instructor myself, and this one is a stand-out for the clear and easy to understand illustrations. The main projections and their applications are shown, along with their variations. This is one book where the line drawings are easier to follow and understand than a photo sequence would be. The illustrator (I think that was O. Ratti) is to be commended for the great job he did on this.The only other book I've seen like this was a little book published 30 years ago, "Self-Defense Simplified in Pictures," by Donald Hepler. This book is now long out of print but had similarly effective line drawings.
