This is by Chris Crudelli who did that BBC show "Mind, Body & Kick Ass moves". It could be called a companion book to the series but it contains a lot more wide-ranging arts (over 300).

It could be called a companion book to the series but it contains a lot more wide-ranging arts (over 300). It's a hardcover encyclopedia style book and I got it for my 12 year old nephew. It's the sort of book I would have loved as a kid and it contains an explosion of fantastic colour photographs of all styles. It's not for the martial arts nerd and is bound to have a ton of generalisations that the hardcore diciplinarian will nit-pick... but it does exactly what it says on the tin.

The Ninjutsu section features a Bujinkan master teacher, Noguchi Sensei, so its great to see that, from my own point of view.

Recomended for xmas pressies for the kids!
