The Samurai Way: Bushido Origins of Modern day martial arts

By Grant A. Miller

Book Overview

For anyone who has trained in an Asian martial art, in just about any discipline therein, will notice a broad universality of the martial arts regardless of what they are studying. This book explores the revelation of Aiki/Hapki that was discovered through the accumulation of hundreds of years of training and study. And how this same revelation has broadened its shape and scope to become an all encompassing philosophy that can be found in nearly every major Asian martial arts discipline. All of this, stemming from the initial codes that made up Bushido, the rules and regulations of the Samurai. "Grant's thirst for knowledge impresses me by the research he does to accurately depict the facts in his book. This book keeps you interested from start to finish and I recommend it to all Martial Art practitioners. " Grandmaster John K.
