In an attempt to get this thread back on track…
Let’s look at this from a philosophical angle:
Hagakure - The Way of the Samurai
Dao De Jing
The Art of War
All good titles when applied to martial arts and also everyday life.
Tao boy
Nice slant. All three superior books. A tao a day will keep the doctor away.
In addition to your favorites 3D let me add
The Gift of Fear.
A Professionals Guide to Ending Violence Quickly.
The Face of Battle by John Keegan
Black Hawk Down.
Obsession by John Douglas and Mark Oshaker
The Prince

I do Northern Long Fist!!!
I’ve recently started learning what our teacher called northern shaolin long fist. What sort of forms are in the style you study? I understand that “long fist” can actually cover a wide range of styles. We got a long term syllabus in the fall and I think I listed all the forms from that in another thread, probably in the Shaolin forum. I’m trying to find some books that I can use to help me remember the forms I’m learning, but the only one I’ve found so far is Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu by Yang Jwing-Ming and Jeffery A. Bolt. If you can suggest any other books that might be worth looking into, I’d appreciate it. Thanks.
