A book I heard about on YouTube. It’s a really good read.
Back Cover:
After the shock of 9/11, New York investment banker and long-time martial artist Antonio Graceffo quits his job and travels to Asia to pursue his dream: to study kung fu at the legendary Shaolin Temple in China. From there, Graceffo then embraces an even greater adventure, which is to study martial arts and learn from the martial arts masters that represent the countries he visits all over Asia.
Warrior Odyssey is Graceffo’s record of where culture, communication and martial arts meet during his decade-long travels through nine countries. No matter whether Graceffo is learning the almost extinct art of bokator in Cambodia, crossing into rebel camps in Burma or absorbing the knowledge of disciples of ancient wisdom in Taiwan, Warrior Odyssey is like no other quest written about before or since.
Antonio Graceffo has been traveling, living and studying martial arts in Asia for the last decade. He is a monthly travel columnist for Black Belt and a frequent call in guest on regional radio talk shows in the United States. He has worked as a martial arts consultant for The History Channel and the Discover Channel. He has studied martial for more than 30 years.
