Books about training martial arts is another topic that I figure really should be of interest to you as a combative arts student or teacher.

Side note: Before you read on, make sure you have a serious look at all the free stuff inside 'The Martial Arts Vault'!

There is so much to learn, and so much new being added all the time that you really can not have too many books about training martial arts - at least not in my opinin you can't :-)

Just think about all the sports pshychology and mental training, all the angles on self-defense training, all the know-how on weapons training, all the stuff about learning kata, solo training, partner training, how to avoid injuries and so on, and so forth...

There are volumes of budo litterature that are dedicated to, say ground fighting, or to the grappling arts as a whole, or to use your hands and feet better for punches and kicks. The list of books about training martial arts go on and on. They can really help you in learning your combative skills faster and more correct. Combine steady an long-term efforts with a great teacher and great books (and/or videos), and you have yourself a winning combination!

Also something for the fighter:

There are books here that covers how to train for martial arts competitions. When your aim is learning how to fight in order to win, it is essential that you gain insight about speed, strength, stamina, technique. mental preparation, agility, nutrition, rest, meditation, rules and more. Much of this is stuff that you, partially or fully can learn from books!

Why not tell others about the books that have helped you?:

Help and be helped is a big part of being involved with the martial arts people and community. I am quite confident that you have books about training martial arts that others should know about! Why not send us a note? If you have a picture and a review I will be more than happy to include it here!
