Ultimate Kempo: The Spirit and Technique of Kosho Ryu

Driscoll Sensei has distilled his study of Kosho Ryu Kempo's concepts and principles into a well thought out and well laid out book. Any martial artist from any style will be able to gain useful insights on movement that will enhance their training. While the majority of the book reveals the concepts, principles, and waza of Kosho Ryu, the introductory chapters touch on budo and philosophy and are worth the readers' attention.

Advanced Pressure Point Fighting of Ryukyu Kempo: Dillman Theory for All Systems Point Fighting

by: George A. Dillman
YouTube & wikipedia George Dillman and you'll see & hear his bizarre explanations why his techniques fail on non cooperating volunteers.

This book belongs on the same shelf as Lord of The Ring. Anyone that thinks that an agressor will slowly walk up to you and allow you to do these dubious poky attacks, will wind up injured or may be even dead.

If you're unable to train in a realistic fighting art, spend your $$$ on a Krav Maga book or a good pair of sneakers. At least both are proven effective defensive mechanisms.

Mastering Kempo

by: William Durbin
I'd actually like to give the book ***1/2, but I figure since they only allow whole numbers, I'll round down. Much can be learned from this book, of you are a begginer, or practice another Asian fighting form. Particularly, I like the explaination of Embu, and the principles behind Kempo's fluid striking combos. One thing that caught my eye is how the author always tried to link Chinese, Okinawan, and Japanese martial history, ephasising Okinawan. I'm no historian, and though I doubt the links were as close as presented, it did pique my interest in seeing how accurate the history was, and has therefore opened my eyes to Karate/Kung-Fu/Kempo history.
