Living the Martial Way: A Manual for the Way a Modern Warrior Should Think

Rating:
Summary: ABOUT TIME!
Review: This is the best modern text I have read on the traditonal warrior training so lacking in todays flash and trash "Americanized Martial Arts". I agree whole hartedly with Maj. Morgan and have made this text required reading for all my students. This book is well over due. It will hopefully wake up the vast majortiy of martial artists who don't have a clue to as the real nature of the warrior arts. Bravo! Maj. Morgan. Your book is a breath of fresh air.

Summary: Excellent book! has applications beyond martial arts!
Review: I found this book by chance, and I'm very glad I did! Until I read Mr. Majors book I was very content with Joe Hymm's zen in the martial arts, however Mr. Major's book goes well beyand that. He has managed to balance history, theory, and pratcial advice in a way that has really helped my martial arts! A MUST READ

Rating:
Summary: An absolute "must-read" for any true Martial student.
Review: This book goes well beyond some of the readily available texts in the martial arts, many of which are superficial, devoted only to promoting a style or a particular instructor/author. Author fully explains the Martial Way, a Way by which any true student of a martial art must strive to live, and yet a Way that is seldom taught in all too many modern dojos. Text also strives to enlighten the reader regarding differences between arts, strategies, tactics, and philosophies. Definately one of the most important texts for modern students of the Martial Arts.

Summary: A Must Read Manual for Every Martial Artist!
Review: This is actually my second copy of this book (I've worn the first copy out!) A must read for every Martial Artist. Mr. Morgan puts together and explains so many of the facets of things that are missing in most "modern" Martial Arts schools today. If studied and learned properly the topics detailed in this book will bring the study and understanding of your art to a higher level and "Living the Martial Way" will also bring successes in all other areas of your life. Bottom line.....if you are serious about your art, you need this book.

Rating:
Summary: A must read for any Martial Artist.
Review: This is one of THE BESt books on what being a martial artist is all about, no matter what art you study. This book should be REQUIRED READING for ALL martial artists, especially beginners. Should be read over and over again to remind us what being a martial artist and modern day Warrior is all about.

Summary: Every martail artist should be required to read this book.
Review: Anyone who wishes to progress beyond the merely physical aspects of their training, and feels it is time to delve into the spiritual and moral issues surrounding their art, should read this book to get some real answers.The martail arts as a lifestyle, especially his emphisis on living the martail WAY, is essential for anyone who is progressing into the higher ranks in their art. There are far to many people who practice merely the physical aspects of their art, without having the reverence or respect for it that deserves. Hopefully this book will serve to enlighten. I know it helped me.

Summary: Excellent overall martial arts book
Review: I read this through and could'nt help underlining and marking pages. This is probably one of the most informative martial arts book out there. A great book for a seasoned practitioner or the beginning martial artist. I found that this book was not only a good read from cover to cover but that it also acts as an excellent reference book. Almost all subjects are covered. A must for all martial artists.

Summary: Living the life of a warrior.
Review: Most books tell you how. This book tells you why. Major Morgan answers many questions not answered in traditional martial arts training. Questions of honor, discipline, mindset, training, etc., are all addressed in a way that stimulates the reader's thinking, including simple, logical steps geared toward applying the lessons learned in the dojo/kwoon/etc. to everyday life. I recommend this work to all of my friends in the Martial Arts.

Summary: Hard to Say
Review: Being a classically trained martial artisit, I found this book to be insightful and certainly worth the time, money and energy to read. The Major downfall to this book, that I have never found in a true classic on this Way of Life, was the repeated insistence on the superiority of this Way of Life over the others. Still, it is a good book, but one that should not be taken too seriously.
