calming

i,m not one to review books as if i were an expert, so here it is---read it it's worth it.

Inspiring and philosophical advice

This is the kind of book that many martial artists will welcome because it gives very practical and valuable suggestions on how to live your life. It is the kind of book you can take your time reading, as each section gives a piece of advice and philosophical wisdom. I enjoyed reading this book and will come back to it often in the future. I can recommend this book to anyone interested in the philosophy of the martial arts. JJT

self motivation with a martial arts flavour

This is a fabulous book for the person striving to continue improving their life. Beautifully designed to take in one lesson a day, Bow to Life uses Karate training as a metaphor for life. No need to have ever entered a dojo to gain insights from this book, but if you have, you will undoubtably deepen your understandings.

This is an excellent book, which is easy and simple to read on a daily basis. It is peaceful and helpful in providing the mindset that is the foundation of martial arts, helping the reader to remember the important philosophical and mental aspect/purpose behind the physical activity. I recommend it highly, particularly for those like me who live a hectic and fastpaced life.
