Warrior Wisdom Volume Two I throughly enjoyed this book. I am actually posting my review after a second reading of this book. I have Volume One of this series and although it is an enjoyable read, Volume Two is a far superior book. The author draws on a cast array of sources, ranging from Sitting Bull to Funakoshi Sensei to Yoda. His choice of quotes is remarkable and his commentary is extremely thought provoking. The other major strong point of this book is his continued emphasis on training the mind & training the body in a functional manner. I did not notice this same emphasis in Volume One and I hope it is a direction the author continues in with any following volumes. In conclusion the author uses all the various quotes to urge the reader to seek a, "lifestyle of excellence, not complacency."

I just did want to tell you "in person" that I thoroughly enjoyed both the Back Kick and Wheel Kick books you sent me. Although some of it was review for me, I did retain several vital points from the books to help me with my training, especially the back kick, which is NOT one of my best techniques. The material was presented in such a manner that it was easily absorbed and motivated me to actively participate along with the book. Nakayama's "Dynamic Karate" is one of my most dog-earred karate books and yours remind me of it!! Well Done! I am looking forward to reading each one of the series as they come out!
