I like some of the older books that are written on the martial arts. Some of the newer ones seem like a rehash. My most prized book is Canon of Judo by Mifune. Others I like are Higher Judo: Groundwork, Complete Kano Jiu-jitsu, The Manual of Judo, Wrestling by Henry Stone, Total Aikido, Takamiyama, Classical Fighting Systems of Japan (new book), and the tree book series by Donn Draegar. I would like to get the book Budo that Ueshiba wrote though (Aikido Journal recently added it).
What are some of the best books you've read?
