In the past, the warrior met the enemy toe-to-toe. It was not uncommon for the warrior to not only see the face of the enemy, but to know the enemy's emotions during engagement. Today, most warriors never have such experience as the enemy is usually down range of the rifle. With drone warfare, the impersonalization of the enemy is even more pronounced. Not only did the warrior of the past have different battlefield experiences than the soldiers of today, but matters of self-defense and self-protection were also different. It was more common for the martial artist of the past to engage in some form of self-defense action than it is for the modern martial artist. Therefore, the sayings of past warriors give the modern martial artist insight into the thinking and philosophy of those who had to use their martial arts for life and death. Not only are the sayings of past warriors important, but also the saying of philosophers and religions are important to the warrior. The reason is that these philosophers and religions influenced the course of the martial arts philosophy and thinking. When reading these quotes, try to step into the mind, time period, and location of the person to help understand the essence of the quote. Tenkidokan Ace Kiwami Publications

An entertaining and insightful history of martial arts and the role of the warrior, drawing on pop culture, philosophy, mythology, religion, and spirituality The urge to forge one’s character by fighting, in daily life as well as on the mat, appeals to something deep within us. More than a collection of fighting techniques, martial arts constitute a path to developing body, spirit, and awareness. On the Warrior’s Path connects the martial arts with this larger perspective, merging subtle philosophies with no-holds-barred competition, Nietzsche with Bruce Lee, radical Taoism and Buddhism with the Star Wars Trilogy, traditional martial arts with basketball and American Indian culture. At the center of all these phenomena is the warrior. Though this archetype seems to manifest contradictory values, author Daniele 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. Aimed at students at any level or tradition of martial arts but also accessible to the armchair warrior, On the Warrior’s Path brings fresh insights to why martial arts remains an enduring and widespread art and discipline. Two new chapters in this second edition focus on spirituality in the martial arts and the author’s personal journey in the field.
