Product Description:
"A man who has attained mastery of an art reveals it in his every action."--Samurai Maximum.
Under the guidance of such celebrated masters as Ed Parker and the immortal Bruce Lee, Joe Hyams vividly recounts his more than 25 years of experience in the martial arts. In his illuminating story, Hyam reveals to you how the daily application of Zen principles not only developed his physical expertise but gave him the mental discipline to control his personal problems-self-image, work pressure, competition. Indeed, mastering the spiritual goals in martial arts can dramatically alter the quality of your life-enriching your relationships with people, as well as helping you make use of all your abilities.

This book was an easy read but very thought provoking. This book only took a couple hours to read. The author uses an autobiographical format to discuss applying the principles (or concepts) of Zen in Martial Arts to one's life. I think one of the things that makes this book so interesting is the fact that Joe Hyams was personally trained (at his home) by Bruce Lee in Jeet Kune Do. Several conversations between Bruce Lee and Joe Hyams are referenced in the book and give you an intimate glimpse ... Read More

I have read this book a number of times. It teach more about using martial arts to live a better life. Your not going to learn how to kick any asses from this book. It is more philosophical, which I really enjoyed

This comes very close to "focusing" in English -- if we choose all the meanings of that word -- concentration, magnifying, centering, attention, intensity and so on. This seems to be both a main lesson ... Read More

I never re-read. There are too many books I still want to read for the first time. But with Joe Hyams's book I flipped back to page 1 as soon as I finished it. This book will remain close at hand for years to come as I can already see myself reading these simple and profound lessons over and over.

I heard about this book from a speaker and he had nothing but great things to say about it. I picked it up not knowing what to expect. This book blew me away. The insights that are taught are important for not just business life but personal development. The only bad thing that I can say is that there is not more pages of information. The book is easy to read but some of the concepts will take some time to sink in or not. This book is well worth the read.
