Ohara Publications Inc. $16.95
This
book is a call to consciousness for any martial artist regardless
of style or ability.
This
collection of essays by Reverend Kensho Furuya have previously
appeared in "Ancient Ways", a column in Martial
Arts Training magazine. They collect writings from 1988
to 1995. Aficionados will appreciate that they have been republished,
and those unacquainted with Furuya’s writings are in
for a happy surprise.
Furuya
has a unique ability to combine humor and consideration for
our late 20th century lifestyles with solid lessons from Aikido’s
traditional roots. As practitioners of Chinese martial arts,
we have found much wisdom in Kodo, Ancient Ways and recommend
it to all martial artists desiring to deepen their practice.
