"Change Your Life with Martial Arts is filled with factual information for parents, grandparents, and potential students of martial arts. Kyle's sensible approach to the interview process should be a part of every school PTA's physical education packet. A well-documented book of valuable tips!"

"As a student of shotokan karate, I know that you can indeed change your life with martial arts. I have learned, as Linda Davis Kyle confirms, that a martial art is at base a spiritual discipline. Going to class on days when I don't really feel like it has strengthened my discipline, jarring me out of mental or physical ruts -- and those 'off' days usually end up being the most worthwhile training sessions. The intangible aspects of martial arts combine with their physical benefits to offer students of all ages a real tonic. May this stimulating book kick-start your own martial arts career!"
Richard Gilbert, Publicity Manager, Ohio University Press
