Book Description

June 1994
Martial arts and philosophy have gone hand-in-hand for centuries. In fact, the search for inner peace and harmony has been one of the primary goals of martial artists throughout history. The Art of Harmony by Sang H. Kim carries on this proud tradition with a collection of thoughts and wisdom on the quest for enlightenment and harmony. It is based on the fundamental belief that life is most peaceful and fulfilling when we learn to recognize and take charge of our destiny, knowing when to direct the flow and when to yield. Here are a few of the nearly 200 enlightening passages:

On Success: Keep your eyes fixed on the road to the top, but don't assume you are there just because you see the summit. On Strategy: If time is gold, timing is diamond. On Victory: Initial retreat is intended to attain the ultimate victory. On Life: Know your weakness not to lose. Know your strength to triumph.

Whether you are a student just beginning to discover the depth of the arts or an instructor seeking to pass along wisdom to your students, this book is an excellent addition to your training library.

5.0 out of 5 stars inspiring and thought provoking, June 12, 2006
This is a wonderful collection of short, thought provoking verses followed by the author's thoughts and/or explanations of the verses. It's not the kind of book to read through in one sitting - more like something you'll want to dip into now and then, reading a few pages then pondering them over the course of the day. In fact, it would make a great meditation aid. The verses are organized into thematic chapters, making it easy to find one that suits your mood. Just don't let anyone borrow your copy - I did and had a tough getting it back!
