The Way of a Warrior

Summary: Don¿t waste your time or money on this one¿..
Review: ......I always suspected that Gilbey and Smith were the same person. In his (their) first book, Secret Fighting Arts Of The World, Gilbey (Smith) gave a very good narrative of useful and real techniques although experience and a good deal of thought were required to fill in the gaps of information needed to make most of the techniques work. In this second book the author has done a formidable job of saying next to nothing. The work is filled with inconsistencies as well as typographical, syntaxique and spelling errors and has a rather boring and awkward style. If you feel you must have it "just to see" then don't expect too much for your purchase.

Review: Assuming I'm not mistaking this book for a different "way of the warrior", I must say that this book teaches dirty fighting alone!

Review: 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.
