Synopsis
Written from an almost Japanese perspective, this text offers an entertaining and informative view of the martial arts. Topics explored include entering the martial way, the paradoxes and conflicts, and how to adapt to the mindset necessary for true mastery of the art.
Customer Reviews
An excellent companion to his other collected essay book.
This is an excellent book for all martial arts. I recommend you read one or two essays a day, digest them and integrate them into your training and everyday life. I felt inspired to train more and more effectively, and to live more openly and honourably after virtually every essay. A must read for any TRUE martial artist.
get rid of the ego
This book offers a practical series of exercises taught, as so many great teachers do, through little stories and retelling of personal experiences. Not a martial artist myself but I do draw inspiration from this book which I am sure will be read time and time again. When you get tired of all the macho muscle stuff this one will strengthen the mind and show you the old way. Read it and you might see what I am talking about.
Excellent comments on budo
The book gives an excellent background on what budo ought to be. If you are interested in the 'Way' then you absolutely have to purchase this book
