A must own!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book should be a part of every martial artist's book collection, like Bushido, Book of Five Rings, and The Art of War. The philosophy of martial arts is set out in clear, concise explanations, without a lot of hocus-pocus. This book is hard to find, but worth the trouble.
A great book for beginners!

I really thought this book helped me deciding what martial art to study. It discussed the different martial arts, then went on to explain the training and thinking methods used in the martial arts. I read it after reading Mr. Suino's first book, The Art of Japanese Swordsmanship, which is also great. I'm hoping Mr. Suino will come out with some books about martial arts other than Iaido.
Eye opening

This book is very in depth gives you a diffenrt view of every day life. At first it is a hard book to understand, However i have read it 3 times thus far an have benefited from 3 times over. You will learn something new each time you read it. if you are into martial arts like i am then i recommed it by all means. If you are not into the arts then i still would consider this good reading.
Ah! Suino-san does it again!

An excellent read, another must from the Black Tiger, to be on your list and read and studied well. Suino-san again captures the essence and feeling of our warriorship and Path of life. A serious student will read and study the words and *concepts* contained within. Goes with Path Notes and Shadow Strategies of an American Ninja Master by Dr. Glenn J. Morris, Dave Lowry's Sword and Brush, and Forrest Morgan's Living the Martial Way.
