Listed below are selected essays, reviews, MPEG's, etc. relating to budo that may be of interest to dojo members and others. Some are primarily the result of research, while others may be mostly from my limited personal experience & training (or a mixture of both). Sources are provided where possible.

Visitors are welcome to use information found in this online library, but please acknowledge myself (Nathan Scott) and/or this URL as it's source to avoid misunderstandings and provide accountability for any possible errors I may have made.
