Though the competitive worlds of combat sports and martial arts are dominated by men, women are beginning to make a mark of their own, as this entry in the Sports for Supergirls series (6 titles) attests. After a brief overview of combat sports, their challenges, and the benefits they can have for women, the book explores five different sports by chapter: boxing, wrestling, tae kwon do, Brazilian jujitsu, and mixed martial arts. Chapters explain the history and rules of each sport, highlight some basic moves, and profile notable female athletes. "Girl Talk" sidebars provide additional information with an overtly feminine design that definitely gets the book's point across. Most useful is a final section that offers resources for girls who are interested in trying out these sports themselves. A boldly designed, in-depth guide.
