Description:

This is the first edition, (since radically revised in an Expanded version) of Ellis Amdur's essays on koryu, the classic martial traditions of Japan. In this privately published volume, Amdur collected a number of essays originally published in the Journal of Asian Martial Arts and Furyu, and added a few new pieces (most notably "Keppan: Blood Vows in Japanese Martial Traditions"). Old School is a perfect companion to Amdur's two other books, Dueling with O-sensei, and Hidden in Plain Sight, as well as providing vital background context for his novel, The Girl with the Face of the Moon, and co-written graphic novel, Cimarronin. As usual, Amdur challenges us with his insights in this must-read collection on the Japanese martial traditions.
