Zen in the Martial Arts

A souvenir from Portland!

The book is a series of short vignettes that reflect lessons the author has learned in his martial arts training over the years. With each story, he then demonstrates how he applied the principle to his actual life.

If you're at all interested in zen, you would find this an interesting read. If you're also looking into martial arts, you will love the book. I recommend it highly.

  1. Give us a hint....what's the connection between zen and the martial arts? Kill "in the moment"? - no, seriously, what does he suggest?

  2. There are lots! But one is that one must keep "mushin",no-mind, in combat, which is a very zen idea.
