Description

Following the successful first volume, a second collection of core writings forming the backbone and underpinning of martial arts training and technique. Selections range from Lao Tzu on the Taoist principles of striving for the 'natural' to Musashi's classic writings on swordsmanship and discipline in the heat of attack; from Issai Chozen on the pinnacle of martial art skill development to modern masters and apprentices such as Dave Lowry, Robert W. Smith and Nicklaus Suino. A must-read for any serious student or practitioner.
