Book Reviews of The Art of Throwing: Practical Instruction for Better Techniques
Book Review: The Art of Throwing, or Unique Personality
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is written by Amante P. Mariñas, Sr., a man of unique personality. All details about throwing implements which are legends in China and secrets of schools in Japan become working materials and subjects of thinking and practise in the book. I mean statistics and reasonable thinking after more then 1,300,000 times of throwing. Absolutely great and unique practice of thousand and thousand hours.
There are 131 figures of illustrations from scientific diagrams of rotation to statistic tables and bunch of black-and-white photos of implements and hands on 111 pages. A curious fact, there is no my favourite grip and stance:) and only carton boxes as targets, no old and died trees in the mountains `man of old stuck'. From more then 30 titles of Ancient Chinese Hidden Weapons by Douglas H.Y. Hsieh the author chose some closer to him, right; from many kinds of shuriken - Shuriken-Do by Shirakami Ikku-Ken- he chose some closer to him again, right again. Why tantou gata shurikens have been missed from the list, it would be so interesting to know technical details and details of flying qualities from the such great master. Maybe, next edition?
The book teaches us the world of weapons is extremely huge, you have to choose your own places and stances, your best knives/other implements/ and distances, get favourite techniques of concentration and movement, live in a peaceful time practising martial art, and reading books written by professionals. This one is one of the best better to stick with.
