Synopsis
Bob Orlando examines martial arts culture in the West, and questions whether many of its imported traditions - such as bowing, spiritual training, fighting barefoot - are relevant. He focuses on the most effective way for westerners to pursue their martial arts training, and suggests changes, radical and practical, to how martial artists in the West approach the rituals, philosophies, practices of martial arts.

5 out of 5 stars
by valerie_valkyri...Feb 08, 2009
I liked it.
This book does a good job of explaining why westerners insist on traditional arts and are less likely to endorse modern versions, and why that is wrong. From a street fighters point of view, the old ways could get you killed. Why don't we practice in what we will fight in? This book talks about that and more. A must have for any martial artists. Strongly recomended.
