Format:Paperback
To my knowledge this is the only modern book written by an actual Zen Master about the martial arts. Most books are by martial artists writing about Zen, a subject in which they are often lacking in actual practice. Taisen Deshimaru was one of the great Zen masters to teach in the west and the teacher of several great marital arts masters. This book is essential for any serious student of either discapline.

I really got a lot from this book. My Comprehension of karate and the depth in it grew MUCH stronger. I learned the philosophy from the old masters making my karate stronger as well as my confidence. This makes martial arts 10 times more interesting - this'll make you wonder & learn. This is not! a fighting book - this'll give much stronger values.

Format:Paperback
Profound yet highly enjoyable, a book that will make you reconsider your view of the world. Invaluable to martial artists and those with any interest in getting more out of life. Both a practical guide to attaining wisdom and philosophical food for thought. Written specifically for europeans, it is an elegant piece that you will read again and again..
