With nearly 2,000 photographs, this incredible volume is an illustrated journey of martial arts in America. Beginning in the early 1900's when martial arts was first introduced in the United States, the book follows chronologically the various fighting arts as they became popular in this country: Ju-jutsu, Judo, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, Aikido, Eskrima, Wu-shu, Capoeira, Ninjutsu, Krav-Maga, Kendo and others.

The reader will meet the pioneers, masters, champions and well-known practitioners who shaped the growth of martial arts in America. Hundreds of these historical photos and illustrations have never been seen in print before and the voluminous amount of fascinating picture sand information will have every reader eagerly turning the pages.

The book covers all aspects of the arts from competition to the movies and from legendary masters to the trends that influenced the way martial arts is practiced in America.

Author Emil Farkas is a highly respected martial arts historian and sensei, who has written numerous books on the arts. He has lived in Los Angeles since 1965 and owns Beverly Hills Karate Academy, which founded in 1970.
