Publisher's Summary

The goals of the budo - the martial arts and ways of Japan - lie in refining the body and spirit. These goals are not always the obvious ones - and are learned only through the guidance and direction of great teachers.

The techniques, methods, and rituals of the sensei can serve as guides to a well-lived life - and provide invaluable lessons for today's martial artists. This collection of essays includes discussions of:

  • The spirit of ryomi...
  • The importance of yuyo...
  • The significance of ma...

With its focus on traditional martial arts, and fascinating stories that illustrate key martial arts principles, Traditions will be required listening for serious martial artists.

A beautiful book by a wonderful soul

A wonderful window into the Japanese culture through the medium of martial arts. What adds to the value of this book is the totally unbiased thought process of the author; despite being a martial artist to the core, he is untouched even by martial arts, untouched by the western culture which he is breathing every day, untouched by the eastern culture and it’s approach to martial arts and life which inspired him so much. Society needs such frank authors. This book is a beautiful Japanese poem which flows in between the narrow space between cultural separations that gives us a good insight into where this particular art form stands in this universe...
