In my many years of studying the martial arts, both Japanese and Chinese systems, I have had several female Master teachers. Woman Martial Arts Instructors are no surprise to any serious martial artists. With a cursory look through the history of war we see that women warriors have often fought along side of men, and frequently led the men warriors. This was true of most tribes across the globe. This is no surprise, as any person will tell you that if you want a child protected most effectively then have their mother guard them. This book is a compilation of illustrations honoring the women warriors through history who have fought to defend who they love.
