Philosophy of Fighting

The first printed collection of the popular "Way of the Warrior" columns from Black Belt magazine, this anthology contains a diverse selection of articles on traditional martial arts, modern combat, and the mentality and inspirations of a fighter. These essays offer a unique perspective on the evolution of thought on martial arts, as well as a chronological view of the trends and traditions associated with the different disciplines. With attention to the history, psychology, and lifestyles of the arts, this compilation gives insight into the spiritual and esoteric, as well as the prosaic aspects of this very diverse culture.
