Throughout the ages, cunning and brave heroes have reached deep inside themselves to find the strength to triumph over long odds. Aspiring black belts will love this new edition of an action-packed collection of twenty-six stories about the great heroes of the martial arts and their many paths to victory. The stories include the tales of:

The legendary Bruce Lee — Kung Fu master and greatest martial artist of his time Miyamoto Musashi — the 'greatest swordsman in history' and the author of the Book of Five Rings Jackie Chan — a dyslexic boy, abandoned at age seven who grew up to be a martial arts film star Mu-lan — the brave daughter who went to battle for the good of her family

These exciting tales of thrilling fights and wily strategies span the wide world of martial arts — from Aikido, Karate, Kung Fu, Sumo, and Jujitsu to Brazilian Capoeira, Israeli Krav Maga, Korean Tae-kwon-do, Japanese Kyudo, and Thailand's Muay Thai, even the Zen-focused tea ceremony which teaches the discipline martial artists require to succeed.

Reviews for Legends of the Martial Arts Masters: Tales of Bravery and Adventure Featuring Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Other Great Martial Artists

...a wonderful read! --Crafty Moms Share blog This book contains a mix of nonfiction and fiction short stories, suitable for young adults interested in martial arts...[Peterson's] genuine and deep admiration for martial arts is clear from the way she narrates these legends from China, Japan, Korea, and beyond. I was already familiar with some of the characters but truly enjoyed these stories told in fresh and unexpected ways. --The Common List
