This book is the result of over four years and four hundred episodes of Martial Arts Radio. Jeremy Lesniak, as host, has spoken with hundreds of martial artists the world over. Those stories, lessons and personal experiences coalesce here, in The Martial Artist's Handbook. Based on prominent episodes and important discussions, this book is much more than a transcript of these audio episodes. In fact, every word was re-written. This book is designed to make you think. To consider who you are, as a person and, how martial arts training and experience contributes to the person you are. With practical advice on a variety of subjects, it offers guidelines on how you might achieve your goals - in and out of training. Far from claiming authority, the author instead hopes to help you find your own authority, and use this book to that end.

"5000 Years of Korean Martial Art" is a one of a kind history book. No other Korean martial art history book on the market is as complete and in-depth. Citing historical references for support, and featuring many rare pictures and some images that are not available from any other published source. This book attempts to place Korean martial arts in it's proper historical perspective in relationship to Chinese and Japanese martial arts. Both Chinese and Japanese martial arts have well known and documented histories, so much so that they have completely overshadowed Korean martial art history. I have attempted to compensate for that overshadowing by focusing on the successes of the Korean martial arts throughout history. Barry Harmon has a BA degree in "Psychosomatics and Alternative Healing Studies" from San Francisco State University. He has an acupuncture degree from the San Francisco College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. He is certified nationally through the NCCAOM and license to practice acupuncture in Texas. In addition to his academics, he has been training and studying martial arts since 1965 and Kuk Sool Won since 1971. In 2002 KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) featured Master Harmon and his family in an hour long documentary which was aired throughout South Korea. Master Harmon currently holds an 9th degree black belt in Kuk Sool Won and has been featured in numerous martial arts magazines. In 2005 he was chosen by Tae Kwan Do Times magazine as instructor of the year. He has taught martial arts in many countries around the world including South Korea."
