After Loren Christensen came on this board I got interested in his reading and picked up "Fighter's Fact Book" and enjoyed so decided to invest in some more of his work when I had the money......and....I had the money...

I got a copy of Dueling With O-Sensei by Ellis Amdur for Christmas, and liked it enough to write up a review on Amazon (follow the link and scroll down).
just finished my third, i think, read of 'angry white pyjamas'
for those that dont know its about a young guy in japan in the 90s who for various reasons decides to take up martial arts (aikido) and ends up taking the 'riot police' course. its basically his story over that year of 'hell'
Read some really good ones in the past. Currently about to finish Chi Gung: Chinese Healing, Energy and Natural Magic. After that I"m gonna read Cheng Man-ch'ing T'ai Chi Ch'uan a simplified method of calisthenics for health and self defense
Force Decisions by Rory Miller - good, but it isn't really grabbing me and challenging my outlook like "Meditations on Violence" and "Facing Violence." Admittedly it isn't supposed to, but I have high expectations for Rory's writings.
It won't. force decisions is a glimpse in an attempt to explain how cops function. There couple of points in it I disagree with, and I suspect are the result of corrections versus Street law enforcement perspectives.
(And of course if you look really carefully in the book you'll find my very small contribution...)

I started this book way back when i flew to Beijing on a 22 hour flight about 16, 17 years ago. Read it from NY to Norita airport in Japan. Got on the plane from Norita to Beijing when I realized I left it in the seat back pocket on the plane I got off in Norita....
So FINALLY I got around to buying it again and I'm reading it again.... no flights in my future so maybe I'll finish it this time
