Throughout history great Martial Artists have strived to find the elusive quality of perfection in the combat arts. Life or death was decided on the edge of a blade or at the well-trained hands and feet of the warrior.
Miyamoto Musashi called it his strategy. Bruce Lee called it being like water. I refer to this martial spirit as The Golden Path.
Many have sought spiritual enlightenment through the Martial Arts. In this book I attempt to describe my personal journey to the discovery of The Golden Path. I hope it will help others to do the same.
