Synopsis:
More than a collection of fighting techniques, martial arts constitute a path to developing body, spirit, and awareness. This book connects the martial arts with this larger perspective, merging delicate philosophies with no-holds-barred competition, Nietzche with Bruce Lee, radical Taoism and Buddhism with the Star Wars trilogy, traditional martial arts with basketball and native American Indian culture. Though the warrior seems to manifest contradictory values, Bolelli describes the heart of this tension: how the training of martial technique leads to a renunciation of violence, and how overcoming fear leads to a unique freedom.
"Daniele Bolelli has written both a poetic and pragmatic vision of what the martial arts can be." Richard Srozzi-Heckler. |
