We have written a complete and through review of “Materia Medica for Martial Artists”. Shown below is a summary of the score. It lists the criteria we used for the review, the individual criteria scores and the overall product score. Please click on the red button below to read the full review (it opens in a new browser window).

We give “Materia Medica for Martial Artists” the highest of ratings plus our coveted Dojo Best Choice award. As we have said, books related to Chinese herbology (中藥學 – Zhōng yàoxué) and especially those that are geared directly to the martial artist with immediately applicable information (that is easy to understand AND use!) are few and far between. And what you do end up getting can quite often be just a tad bit sketchy.
