My reading selection lately has had the focus mainly of karate, martial arts in general and Zen.  As I move closer to my black belt it is extremely important to have an understanding of the history of the sport I'm involved in.  Here are some of the things I've been reading/researching:

• Rhinoceros Zen:  Zen Martial Arts and the Path to Freedom by Jeffrey M. Brooks
• The Way of The River: Adventures and Meditations of a Woman Martial Artist by BK Loren

A few websites that I go to for reading are:

• FightingArts.com - Contains forums, articles, and a wealth of information on every aspect of Martial Arts
• Martial Arts Information - Another large site that lists a variety of interesting topics
• Black Belt Magazine - link to the online version of the magazine.  Great articles
• Draconika - I love dragons and the history of Asian/Oriental dragons
• Century Martial Art Equipment - the source for all martial arts equipment.  Good place to find books on the sport as well
