Summary
This book explores martial arts and combat sports in Latin societies. Covering well-known and rarely-studied forms of fighting systems, it considers how the schools of thought, organisation, and stylistics of martial arts can shine new light on the culture, history and social issues of Latin countries and post-colonial societies.
