While there is no shortage of well-known martial artists, there are only a handful of truly great ones. Athletes such as Remy Presas, Ernie Reyes Jr., Wally Jay, Ernesto Presas, Ben Largusa, and Ed Parker form a select club whose members are emulated by every serious martial artist, but matched by only the rare few. In Martial Arts Legends, these giants tell their stories and reveal the secrets of their arts.Drawing upon the vast Inside Kung-Fu archives, Curtis Wong and John Little have selected the "best of the best" -- those individuals who have made a real impact on the martial arts by either transforming old traditions or creating new ones. These masters explore the deeper meaning of the martial arts, as well as their approaches to mental and physical training. Martial Arts Legends is compelling reading for every student, instructor, and interested fan of the martial arts.
