Zen In The Martial Arts (Joe Hyams)
The Book in a Nutshell
Zen in the Martial Arts takes you on a journey through which you can achieve spiritual serenity, mental tranquility and the deepest self-confidence from martial arts.
In Summary
This book is good for a number of reasons. Firstly, it takes you on a fascinating journey, showing you that no matter which martial art you train in, your art can take you closer to zen, and that there is more to martial arts than fighting.
Secondly, the author (Jo Hyams) trained with Bruce Lee, and his stories and insights to those experiences are fascinating, well written, and well worth a read.
Finally, despite the heavy topic this book is about, it is written in such a way that both a novice and an experienced martial artist can read it cover to cover, and take something away which will prove useful in every aspect of their life.
