It was written in the Twenties by a man who had known a few of the fast-and-nasty, and is well worth the time. <BR/><BR/>Also, look up "A Book of Five Rings" by Miyamoto Mushashi... the man not only was a stone badass (IIRC, over 160 duels with the two swords, most to the death, and not ONE cut), he was a SMART stone badass who thought about it. B5R is the standard 'must-read' for a LOT of martial artists... and I've always included gun-fu as a martial art.<BR/> <BR/>Thanks...<BR/>Dave Paglia<BR/>caanddp@Northstate.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
