The Road to Mastery: The Benefits of Budo

Time and time again you have heard that studying martial arts can lead to personal improvement. Until now, no one has detailed how! In this ambitious treatment of the non-physical and sometimes non-conscious teachings of the traditional martial arts, Master Instructor Tony Annesi outlines methods of self-development leading to the level of awareness and achievement called "Mastery".Those who approach Mastery, Annesi suggests, actually travel two roads-a physical and a conceptual. They pass by five signposts on their climb up the mountain. Their physical skills hold hidden conceptual lessons and the mental development sometimes reveals spiritual lessons.The lessons learned here guide martial artists toward mastery, the average person toward self-development, and the leader toward superior leadership.Beyond the gates of traditional martial arts lies The Road to Mastery. This is your guidebook.
