Inspiration – A Lifetime of Literature in the Martial Arts

Iain Abernethy wrote in a review of Super Dan A Martial Arts Memoir:

“We sometimes forget that the martial arts do not exist without martial artists. It is martial artists who make the martial arts and it for that reason I love reading about the personalities who have shaped the arts we practise. It’s also easy to forget that the history of the martial arts is still being written. The highly skilled practitioners of today will one day be talked about in the same hushed tones as the masters of the past. It’s therefore always great to read about the martial artists of our time from those martial artists themselves.”

This new book is part of that history.  Where have I gotten my inspiration from?  Quite often it is from the written word; books and articles which have helped me shape my own path.  This book details where I have gotten my inspiration from and helped direct my path.  I hope this is an inspiration for you as well.
