[PDF] Black Medicine: The Dark Art of Death N. Mashiro

Though this book is dated to some degree and the black and white photographs are not very clear; nevertheless, there is some valuable information that could be applied in self-defense situations. Experienced martial artists might find this book interesting, but in my opinion, the text would be more of value to new students of the martial arts and self-defense.

This book covers in detail the vital points of the head, neck, throat, upper trunk, lower trunk, hands, arms, leg and foot. In conclusion, this is a book that has information all martial artists will find informative and interesting.
