Summary: Excellent Yarn!
Comment: To those who dont know yet, read MARTIAL MUSINGS or one of Smiths interviews in JOURNAL OF ASIAN MARTIAL ARTS. He has basically stated that the two books he wrote as Gilbey were fiction. In fact theres a whole secion in MUSINGS about how some of the pictures and stories were created.
There is some truth nestled in here such as the history behind Savate. Its an enjoyable, ENTERTAINING read.
Rating: 3
Summary: Amusing and bombastic view of the Martial Arts
Comment: To be taken with a grain of salt. The writing style is vintage 50's complete with slang. Philosophy is good but the author/s have a inflated opinion of themselves. If a quarter of the information is true then there is some merit. Worth reading once for entertainment value.

Summary: "Gilbey" does it again!
Comment: This book is the sequel to the underground classic "Secret Fighting Arts of the World", and chronicles the further adventures of the Indiana Jones of exotic martial arts. Similar in theme and style to SFAotW, "Way of a Warrior" is also more soulful and in-depth: the fireworks are still there, but we also get a glimpse of the ethical and, yes, spiritual implications of a life-long pursuit of martial esoterica. I'll say it again, this guy is the best writer in the field, bar none: buy this book!
