Peter Boylan

Musings of a Budo Bum (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'The techniques are really a vessel for carrying all the things that are budo...' Most books about martial arts (budo) focus on techniques, although some tell the history, and a few wax philosophical. It is rare indeed to discover a book that so fluently combines all this within the broader context of culture and lifestyle, and does so in such a humble, engaging, and accessible way. 'Budo Bum Anthology' is a book that answers not so much 'how' or 'what' as it does 'why?' Why call budo teachers 'sensei'? Why do we bow? Why kata? Why keep training? Peter Boylan, aka the Budo Bum, has achieved high rank in several martial arts - judo, iaido, jodo, and more-spending decades immersed within budo, straddling the worlds and cultures of Japan and America, and translating between them. In these essays, the reader is invited to walk alongside a quiet man who thinks deeply about the worlds in which budo was created and is practiced, and who brings the meaning of 'all the things that are budo' into our daily lives.
