All martial arts in the tradition of the samurai are inextricably linked with Zen teachings far beyond the sporting level. Zen master Taisen Deshimaru, himself deeply familiar with both fields through 50 years of practice, teaches us in this book the essence of these two paths in search of the most essential human question: the problem of life and death.
"In the West, martial arts are almost always practiced as an end in themselves. The authentic connections are clarified in this introduction."
