The comic books that came out in the 1920s to get Americans to read more comprised of many action- and super heroes, such as Batman Superman, and Wonder Woman. Since 1968 Bruce Lee playing Kato and the Green Hornet, in 1973 the movie, Enter the Dragon will introduce Asian martial arts to the USA and the world. This book will show the superhuman feats of the Japanese archers psychologically and physically, and the records they achieved, in my opinion. These unsung people would be heroes today if more readers knew of these records that the Japanese have in their history. The impact of the mental and physical is so extreme that this information hopefully will garner THE WOW FACTOR!

War bows dominated battlefields across the world for centuries. In their various forms, they allowed trained archers to take down even well-armoured targets from great distances, and played a key role in some of the most famous battles in human history. The composite bow was a versatile and devastatingly effective weapon, on foot, from chariots and on horseback for over a thousand years, used by cultures as diverse as the Hittites, the Romans, the Mongols and the Ottoman Turks. The Middle Ages saw a clash between the iconic longbow and the more technologically sophisticated crossbow, most famously during the Hundred Years War, while in Japan, the samurai used the yumi to deadly effect, unleashing bursts of arrows from their galloping steeds. Historical weapons expert Mike Loades reveals the full history of these four iconic weapons that changed the nature of warfare. Complete with modern ballistics testing, action recreations of what it is like to fire each bow and a critical analysis of the technology and tactics associated with each bow, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in ancient arms.

For over a thousand years the sword has played a crucial role in Japanese society. Even today it remains a ubiquitous and venerated object, whether cherished as a work of art, admired as a feat of technology, or wielded in one of the many schools of fencing that have survived Japan's feudal era. This book not only explains the techniques of that era's most prominent school, it also gives the reader a fascinating insight in the history and martial ethics that underpin the modern day practice of Japanese fencing, an art known to the Japanese as Iaido.

Japonští středověcí válečníci – samurajové – se stali jedním ze symbolů Země vycházejícího slunce. Jejich zobrazení v nesčetných filmech, knihách či komiksech jim propůjčilo téměř mytickou podobu neohrožených bojovníků, jejichž meče rozsévaly smrt na bitevních polích. Realita však byla mnohdy jiná než moderní představivost. I samurajové byli pouze lidmi z masa a kostí. Příběh samurajů proto tyto legendární bojovníky představuje v trochu odlišném světle. Nevyvrací pouze pověsti, jež okolo samurajů vznikly, ale především představuje japonské válečníky v jejich co nejvěrnější podobě. Autor se proto zabývá nejen dějinami samurajů, jejich válečným uměním či zbraněmi, ale i jejich soukromým životem, každodenností, náboženskými představami a duchovním světem. Současně čtenáři přináší barvitý obraz světa, v němž samurajové žili, bojovali a umírali. Světa, který tolik fascinuje generace čtenářů a fanoušků po celém světě.
