A Path to Liberation: A Spiritual and Philosophical Approach to the Martial Arts
With a Zen rather than a "how-to-break-boards" approach, here is a short but thought-provoking exploration of the mental and spiritual components of martial arts. Using his previous book ( Martial Spirit , LJ 3/1/78) as a springboard, Kauz advances from the introduction of martial arts philosophies to how students may improve meditation skills and assess teachers, dojos (schools), and styles. When students utilize a mind, spirit, and body approach, self-discovery can accompany physical improvement. This book is for the student looking beyond fighting skills or self-defense. If you have more than two martial arts schools in your area, buy this book.-J.
