Hard as Nails
This is the long awaited autobiography of O-Sensei Phil Milner, 10th Dan Grandmaster of the International Budo Association.
Covering his life and training in the early days of Martial Arts in the UK where the Japanese Instructors were few and far between, the remarkable feats and stories of brutal training regimes and the growth of Martial Arts in the early days makes this title “Hard as Nails” so apt.
A Must buy for any traditional karateka and for those wanting an insight into the way it used to be – most of which is now banned and illegal!
185 pages.

I used to train with Phil at Low Edges, and he was a legend and always will be, it was just as though he was sat at the side of me whilst i was reading it, it made me chuckle and i also shed a few tears remembering the good old days. It is a very good read whether you knew phil or not, and if you did know him you will know lots of the characters that pop up through the book, love you phil, cherish the memories, sarah xx
