Rating:  Summary: A great book for martial artists in training or teaching Review: This book changed the way that I trained in my aikido classes. It has a lot of spiritual advice, great stories, great illustrations and wonderful insights. I loved it! :)
Rating:  Summary: Excellent - Highly Recommended Review: This book has absolutely nothing to offer. I highly recommend it. =
Rating:  Summary: A Must Read Book Review: This book is a wonderful volume full of the traditional wisdom that gave the practice of the martial arts (and other spiritual practices) real meaning. I have taught Aikido for many years and have had my own school for 15 years. I can't think of another book that has as much of value to say about how to train, why to train, etc. It has a lot to say about modern attitudes as contrasted with tradition. I highly recommend this volume!
Rating:  Summary: Superb. Review: This book is one of the best books on martial arts I have ever read. Kensho Furuya cuts through the B.S. of so called modern training methods and reveals the power of traditional training. This book is an absolute must read for every traditional martial artist.
Rating:  Summary: A great book by a great martial artist Review: This book provides a terrific source of information to those who have taken the time to study the martial arts thoroughly. Finally a book that looks at the traditional martial arts from a traditional view.
Rating:  Summary: Kodo Ancient Ways Review: This is a superb book written with great insight and a must read as an aid to training, regardless of style, for the serious martial artist. I have purchased about thirty copies over the years, to give away to friends who are mostly non-martial artists. It is one of two books which I think can offer profound influence on one's life and art, the other is Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke. If you train seriously in martial arts, buy two copies of Kodo, because you will probably wear one out.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent, Excellent book. Highly recommended Review: This is the best book that I have ever read. Kodo is a must for any serious martial artist or human being. It shows us what is wrong with martial arts today. I saw Furuya Sensei on an A&E martial arts special. Everything he said was great. He is truly one of the best martial artist/teachers around today or ever! If you don't read this book you are missing out. Order it today!
