Özet
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.

Eleştirmen yorumları
“Bolelli’s humorous and at the same time profound prose makes On the Warrior’s Path one of those very rare books about martial arts that is masterfully written ... this is one of the most original books about martial arts published in the last decade.”
—Journal of Asian Martial Arts
“Daniele Bolelli has written both a poetic and pragmatic vision of what the martial arts can be.”

It's not all about Martial Arts???

The first section for me was perfect: knowledgeable, thought provoking and inspiring. There were times I felt this was THE martial arts book that every practitioner need read.
But suddenly the tone changes drastically and contradictions and egotistical dismissals about styles become commonplace.
My assumption is that the book was written over an extended period of time and the author of the final section is not the same man he once was when he wrote the first.
To add to my confusion there is a lengthy section on Bruce Lee that feels like it should of been trimmed back significantly if not removed entirely as it imbalances the narrative by focussing on one practitioner. in my opinion it just seemed a little odd and out of place.
Up to the tone shift though this was a superbly written and researched piece of writing and I am still pleased I found and read it, if only for that first section.
At times brilliant, ultimately confused
