[Brent Hopkins · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is literally for beginners. It covers very basic origin stories, legends and overviews of several martial arts told through comics. If you have a young kid that's interested in martial arts, it's good for helping them decide which one. It veers into the fanciful on some areas, more myth than historic fact but it generally is a good summary.
