The Overlook Martial Arts Reader,
Vol. II
The themes, ideas, and images generated by the martial arts
have found their way in myriad forms into the minds of millions
of westerners over the past few decades—from the films of
Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan to the traditions of Asian
meditation and exercise. At the same time that a wide
spectrum of people have a passing familiarity with the martial
arts, the topic is also one that is subject to wide
misunderstanding and misinterpretation. The Overlook Martial
Arts Reader is an in-depth anthology and analysis of the
fundamental writings—both ancient and modern—that
demonstrates exactly why the martial arts exert such a
powerful hold on the western imagination.
