This review is from: Encounter the Warrior's Heart: The Philosophy of Shinsei Hapkido: With Essays by Grandmasters on Life, Teaching, and Martial Arts (Paperback)

I found this piece a welcomed and grossly overdue twist on "turn the other cheek." It gives the Christian WARRIOR a well written path to understanding his/her place in this twisted society of drugs, gangs, crime, political correctness, and terrorism to name a few.

I believe I read a passage or two in the Bible where God sent his followers into battle. We have a new battle raging in these troubled times and you are NOT spreading God's Word if your DEAD! I'm alive, I've seen dead, ALIVE is BETTER!

Open your mind, sit down with this masterpiece, and reflect on the wealth of knowledge shared by these two Christian Warriors of today.

This review is from: Encounter the Warrior's Heart: The Philosophy of Shinsei Hapkido: With Essays by Grandmasters on Life, Teaching, and Martial Arts (Paperback)

I'm surprised the reviewer didn't describe the specific aspects of the book he found so informative and would welcome an explanation of what a "Christian Martial Art" is. I thought it was about Hapkido.

This review is from: Encounter the Warrior's Heart: The Philosophy of Shinsei Hapkido: With Essays by Grandmasters on Life, Teaching, and Martial Arts (Paperback)

Encounter the Warrior's Heart is a must-have for your technical library. Joseph Lumpkin and Daryl Covington have done a wonderful job of presenting the philosophy of Shinsei Hapkido. This book will help you better understand fighting concepts and strategies, plus it is easy to read. Many of the technical aspects taught can be adapted to other styles of martial arts. Shinsei Hapkido is a Christian martial art that has something for every martial artist.
