5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book, March 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: One Day - One Lifetime: An Illustrated Guide to the Spirit, Practice and Philosophy of Seidoi Karate Meditation (Hardcover)

Students of all styles of traditional karate will appreciate this collection of lectures from Kaicho Nakamura's meditation classes. The text focuses on the importance of breathing in both meditation and moving karate practice, as well as how the study of karate can follow us into our life outside the dojo.

Regardless of what style you practice, you will find these lectures to be very inspiring and thought provoking. I keep a copy at work and reference it each day I come in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Words of wisdom for life and practice, October 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: One Day - One Lifetime: An Illustrated Guide to the Spirit, Practice and Philosophy of Seidoi Karate Meditation (Hardcover)

I keep a copy of this book at work and read a couple of pages each day I come in. The author's stories and idioms offer inspiring lessons on how to live life with the same spirit that we exhibit in the dojo. I do not practice this style of martial art (Seido Karate), but I think the lessons in this book are applicable to all martial artists.
