Instead of facing an opponent while physically tense and adrenaline-pumped, this book teaches how to use the subtle power of nonresistance to break an opponent. Featuring detailed, step-by-step photo sequences that juxtapose relaxed-tension techniques with those used in a street fight or competition, this guide to using nonresistant force illustrates and defines the concepts used in traditional kung fu and details the similarities and differences of modern nonresistance combat. With specific grappling, hitting, and kicking attacks and a practical explanation of chi, the methods demonstrate how to use an opponent's own movements against them, while weight and conditioning exercises and meditation further develop these subtle skills.

Beyond Kung Fu
I'm not very familiar with Japanese culture or the Samurai. My area is the Roman Empire, but this book is impressive. I've always had a mild interest in the martial arts and Feudal Japan and I suspect this book is a good place to start. The writing is concise, easy to follow and (this was the main reason I bought the book) lavishly illustrated. Instead of leaving it to the reader to try to figure out what the author's are describing the illustrations are there to demonstrate. It's a good read for the beginner. As far as the historical errors referred to by earlier reviewers, I can't comment on. Mainly since the previous reviewers failed to document they errors they were referencing (though there is a lack of footnotes to back up some of the writing), but I digress. It will make a nice addition to any military history collection if only for the illustrations.
