Jon Braeley has spent decades traveling around Asia to film great masters of various martial arts, a journey that culminated with the acclaimed “Warriors of Budo” series, shot in Japan and Okinawa.
“Masters of Budo: The Interviews” distills the essential historical and philosophical elements of the series into a well-thought text supplemented by numerous pictures.

The book is a joy from start to finish each interview is masterfully done and leaves you wanting to know more from each subject. A book I will not only read again but use for reference often.

Martial arts through the eyes of the Masters. This book is unique in that it portrays the reality and specific characteristics of traditional martial arts and the minds of the Masters behind these arts.
This narrative of the Masters and their input into the arts as wonderfully communicated in this excellent book was invaluably inspirational to me as a traditional karateka.
Daria Bricier –

The book offers an intimate view into the worlds of some of the most skilled practitioners of various martial art forms. The book is a superb companion to the documentary films of similar subjects that preceded it.
