John Gilbey The Way of a Warrior: A Journey into Secret Worlds of Martial Arts
North Atlantic Books 1556431260 / 9781556431265 PAPERBACK Very Good
1556431260 Trade paperback, North Atlantic Books publishers, 1992, 175 pages. Book shows very little wear, covers have superficial scratches, binding is tight. Usually ships with delivery confirmation. From the back of the book: In 1963 a textile manufacturing millionaire named John F Gilbey regaled martial arts enthusiasts with a collection of amazing tales about some outrageous and totally unknown fighting masters on three continents. Now Gilbey is back. His fistic and foot festivities take him in and out of dojos and gyms in the United States: to Iceland, Brazil, Iraq, and even an outer Tahitian island. Investigating claims of seemingly supernatural powers, Gilbey gives a strong nod to developed and carefully schooled inner disciplines. Abhorring the violence interwoven in American life, he also has strong words for the fast buck artists who degrade serious martial arts like karate, kung fu, and jujutsu.
