Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: From the "chop-sockey" kung-fu epics on the big screen to practices like tae kwon do at local community centers, the martial arts have become a major phenomenon in Western culture. InOn the Warrior's Path, author Daniele Bolelli examines the central figure in this trend: the warrior. Bolelli, himself a martial artist, looks at every facet of the warrior lifestyle, from the unbreakable tenacity of the Japanese swordsman to the contemplative practices of the mysterious warrior monks of China. Drawing from both classical and popular sources of warrior culture, Bolelli shows what it takes to inhabit this singular role, along the way making surprising connections between martial arts and psychedelic culture, basketball, American Indian society, surfing, Star Wars, and more.

Book excerpt: This work clearly defines and catalogues the fifty historical hand-held weapons that were used in Okinawa Prefecture and the Ryukyu Islands from the dawn of its history. It show the stages of development and introduction of these weapons to the islands and how they affected the culture through the ages. The 'standard five' popular weapons of the modern era (bo, sai, tonfa, nunchaku & kama) are described in detail with many scale drawings, but surprisingly, it clearly shows the influence of bladed weapons, such as the curved sword. Firearms also made a huge contribution to Ryukyuan weapon development, so these are also introduced in their historical context. Most surprising is the contextual detail of the historic eras, such as the affects of the Satsuma Invasion of the Ryukyu Islands in 1609 & the dissolution of the monarchy in 1879. Contrary to popular myth, between these years Okinawans did not adopt farmers tools for self protection, for quite a different history is revealed herein.

Book excerpt: Myths and Blind Spots in the Fighting Arts' World #1 Learning to defend yourself through training in martial arts, combatives or combat sports, is a wise thing to do, but being wise while doing it, is not all that easy. While it does depend on you, it firstly depends on your instructors, and even on their instructors... This being the case, human factors like ignorance, arrogance, "indenialism" (I call it), deception, hastiness, idolatry, fanaticism and more, hinder the truth to various degrees from reaching the practitioners, thus compromising their necessary survival fighting skills. For this reason, this book strives to bring clarity and reality where those are absent, to bring balance where there is exaggeration or falsehood; when learning to mentally and physically resist an attacker or attackers, there can't be any room for wrong use of the body's weapons, for naivety, silliness, fantasy or a playful mentality. This in turn means, that in order to protect yourself and loved ones, the theories and training methods you use for that purpose, should be able, must be able, TO BE PROVEN 100% accurate, if ever physically attacked. A large order indeed, a huge responsibility and a moral burden for sincere hard working, dedicated instructors. So, there is knowledge to be gained from this book and wisdom to be discerned. It's therefore a book for free thinkers, for truth lovers, I'd even add, for the brave, but it's definitely not for mere "reactors" that see things through the lens of emotionalism, convenience, self-benefit, immaturity, or inexperience. While it's not a Christian book, I am still a dedicated Christian, so it's still a... Christian's book. I am glad and thankful to God, to be both a Christian and a Christian martial artist; Psalm 144:1-2 is true in my life, just like so many other passages from the Bible. And why is this relevant, you may in all fairness ask. Because my faith and beliefs are apparent here and there in this book and especially in a particular chapter where I elaborate on Christianity's, actually God's perspective on self-defense and violence and this, firstly for my Christian family members and then of course for all other practitioners; they too may gain a lot from that perspective. It's unfortunately true, that it's not a topic that many would expect a Christian to write about, but why not? The answer in essence, in that chapter. Another dimension of this book, is my Christian sense of humor; don't say I didn't warn you! Therefore the full blend you should expect to find in this book is fourfold: fighting arts, wisdom, Christianity and humor. All of those, to hopefully bring necessary change, where it is needed and of course... is still wanted or/and allowed... ―DISCLAIMER: If you are somehow offended by the Gospel of Jesus Christ that calls people to repent and be saved from eternal hell or Christian theology in general, my friendly advice is, do not waste your money and time buying this book. There are good martial art books out there waiting for you, written by atheists, so you can buy theirs and reject this one if you feel you cannot tolerate such beliefs. Thank you for understanding, I appreciate it and no hard feelings.
