Book Reviews of Zen in the Martial Arts
Book Review: Read it over and over and find something different each time.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was given this book by a fellow martial artist about 8 years ago when I was training for my 2nd degree Black Belt. I thought it would be a book about Zen "in" martial arts. This book is so much more. I have read it dozens of times. Honestly, I have given copies of this inexpensive little book to many of my close friends who have no invovlement in martial arts. All have come back at some point to tell me how much they enjoyed it and passed it on or recommended it to others. If you read it once, you will want to read it again and again. This book is like the petals of a flower. Each time you read it(or peel away a petal)you will find another facet of wisdom that applies to everyday life. Each chapter only takes up 3 to four pages but each stands alone in concept and thought. It is a wonderful book.
Summary of Zen in the Martial Arts
"A man who has attained mastery of an art reveals it in his every action."--Samurai Maximum.Under the guidance of such celebrated masters as Ed Parker and the immortal Bruce Lee, Joe Hyams vividly recounts his more than 25 years of experience in the martial arts. In his illuminating story, Hyams reveals to you how the daily application of Zen principles not only developed his physical expertise but gave him the mental discipline to control his personal problems-self-image, work pressure, competition. Indeed, mastering the spiritual goals in martial arts can dramatically alter the quality of your life-enriching your relationships with people, as well as helping you make use of all your abilities.
