and I went to check out the Martial Arts section and I tried not to laugh. I found a copy of Stephen Hayes Ninja books volume 2 (I think) with the ORIGINAL covers when he is standing there next to a ninja in a photo. It was marked down to like $2, but I didnt get it. I wish I had now that I thought of it.
Anyway, I ended up getting 2 books to toss on my shelf, Hung Gar Kung Fu by Bucksam Kong and Eugene H. Ho and then Choy Lay Fat Kung Fu by Leo T. Fong. Everyone probably knows that book, Wing Chun Kung Fu by James Lee right? Well this is the same type of book. The covers, the lettering, just the same.
I also found 4 books by Ashida Kim, all of them the Ninjutsu For Women. I started laughing and was flipping through it and saw Christopher Hunter practicing with the women (and loosing to illustrate how a women can over power him). If I had a pen and paper, I would of written a note in each book saying not to buy it.
Perhaps the FUNNIEST book I saw was something like "Shaolin Spirt" by none other than David Carridine (sp?). I flipped through it and it was just text and I think meditation. It said on the inside cover talking about how he has achieved spirtual attaintment. I was thinking "yeah through mind altering substances." I can't believe the crap they put out.
Now I have 2 books and I don't know what to do with. Oh well.
