About this book

Armed Martial Arts of Japan: Swordsmanship and Archery by Hurst I II, G.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300049671.

This unique history of Japanese armed martial arts-the only comprehensive treatment of the subject in English-explores swordsmanship and archery from ancient times to the present. The book examines the transformation of fighting skills into sports, the influence of Western athletic tradition on armed martial arts, and the ways martial arts remain distinctly Japanese.
