Blue Snake Books' mission is clear and focused-to publish the finest martial arts books in the world. Launched in 2006, this imprint of the Berkeley, California-based North Atlantic Books drew on the over twenty-five years of experience publishing over a hundred martial arts titles. Now publishing on all martial arts forms and for all skill levels on topics ranging from the internal martial arts to health-related exercises, and from popular fighting and self-defense techniques to classical texts, Blue Snake Books has already begun fulfilling its mission.
