An engaging story told and retold shares a meaningful message that can be passed down through the generations. Take fables such as The Boy Who Cried Wolf or The Tortoise and the Hare, who hasn't learned a thing or two from these ancient tales? Legends of the Masters retools Aesop's lesser-known fables, reimagining them to meet the needs and interests of modern martial artists. Reflecting upon the wisdom of yesteryear in this new light will surely bring value for practitioners of the arts today.
