Martial Arts & Tai Chi

best databases

If you are wanting to be sure that you search the entire literature, I would use both of the below databases. If you are really wanting to use only one, I would go with Physical Education Index primarily as this will yield more results than would PubMed on these types of topics. Pubmed's focus is more on biochemical and medical sciences, so you will get results in that database but Physical Education Index should be more along the lines of what you are wanting for results. 

some other books I like
