When I wrote the book, Kirin Rise The Cast of Shadows, the goal of the 8 book series was to preserve the entire art in book format. But to make it a typical martial arts book would limit it to only practitioners of the art. The standard pictures of showing form and explaining it would be as exciting as watching paint dry. So, I decided to create it in a story format so that everyone could learn and benefit from the art which we all love. I always believed you'll never forget a good story and it was the best path to teach it.

Here's a clip of an interview I did recently which was posted on asian journal.

After staging a successful Kickstarter campaign, Filipino-American martial arts master Ed Cruz launched his debut novel at the New York Comic Con last October. And with more than 31,000 Facebook fans eagerly awaiting the first of what is being planned as an eight-part series, the new book Kirin Rise: The Cast of Shadows, is off to a great start. Changing the world for the better doesn’t always need to come in the form of a person with superpowers, but, like in this new book, through a young girl just brave enough to be who she truly is. Her name is Kirin Rise. “She is a 19-year-old girl who joins an amateur fight club, she knocks out a guy twice her size with a single punch and everyone’s wondering how is this possible. That is how we start,” Cruz told the Asian Journal. - See more at: http://asianjournal.com/aj-magazines....4kv3wW83.dpuf
