4 out of 5

Aug 28, 2009

By Robert, Sydney, Australia

"The book was a very enjoyable read as it details the experiences of someone who has become totally immersed in the martial art, to the extent that they would travel to Japan. This experience alone sets it apart from most other journeys of discovery because it involves an immersion in a culture totally foreign.

I liked the narrative the author provided but found that towards the middle of the book it became too much about the history of the Japanese culture and history. This provided a distraction from what the book had started out to be, a story of a journey and discovery.

That should not detract from those interested in martial arts from adding this to their reading list as I believe it gives insight into the real 'traditional' martial arts of Japan all of which seems to be pretty much lost these days. The book demonstrates how that in even modern Japan you can still find corners of the world that have not changed.

A most enjoyable and easy to read book that for anyone interested in traditional martial arts is well worth reading."
