Since 2013 has arrived, i think one of my "resolutions" is to start reading more books, and i figured why not start with reading something of interest like Martial Arts. Does anyone recommend anything i can add to my "scarce" library of books?

Mind Over Muscle: Writings from the Founder of Judo by Jigoro Kano
STRONGLY recommended! Professor Kano's views on the relationship of judo and regular every day life, combat/self-defense aspect set aside. A very enlightening NON-martial arts book... that happens to be about a martial art.0 -
As for technique books, I found that Jiu Jitsu University by Saulo Ribeiro and Guerilla Jiu Jitsu & Submit Everyone (read both back-to-back) by Dave Camarillo were books I kept referring to over and over.0

Here is a great Judo book. Has also been released in shortened form under the title of "Falling Hard."

And this is just a terrific book that explains a misunderstood sport in a way that makes it easily appreciable.

the Bubishi by patrick mcarthy.
he is probably the most respect karate researcher in the world.
most Martial arts books written after this one will have this book listed in the resources.0
