Reviews
This book is one of the first to use Elias's sociology so centrally in considering the social history of Japanese martial arts, and is perhaps unique in its vast historical scope and sweep ... The experience of reading this book was deeply significant to me as a scholar, as it has led to the aforementioned epiphanies. I expect that the book will continue to be the kind of work that is valued by a wide and diverse audience in the future. - Tetsuya Nakajima, Ibaraki University, Japan, Martial Arts Studies I would definitely recommend [this book] to anyone interested in the sociology of martial arts. This is a well thought out, and methodologically innovative presentation of the history of Japanese martial arts which will make good reading for both students and seasoned scholars. - Eugenia Rozenfeld, University of Haifa, Israel, The International Journal of the History of Sport
