If you know me, you know that I love to read. I read non-fiction and fiction. Here are three non-fiction books I recently recommended to my senior students. My criteria for recommendation was that they relate to the martial arts (not Bujinkan) and have cultural value. What does that mean? Read one and you’ll understand:
