Publisher's Summary

"A man who has attained mastery of an art reveals it in his every action." - Samurai maxim

Under the guidance of such celebrated masters as Ed Parker and the immortal Bruce Lee, Joe Hyams vividly recounts his more than twenty-five years of experience in the martial arts. In his illuminating story, Hyams reveals to listeners 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.

Very Interesting

Listening to this once isn't enough. There are many lessons in this that are covered with very few words. Some of them were whole chapters in other audios I listened to. I want to keep what I learned here in mind but I won't truly understand until I live and experience them in the dojo. Now I wish I could be taught by the masters mentioned here. A man can dream....
