This review is from: The Spirit of Budo (Hardcover)

Mr. Leggett is of course a renown scholar who had many years of martial arts training. He has wriiten this book in a a manner which makes the subject simple to absorb with the use of some humor. The book addresses such areas as sportsmanship, achieving freedom of mind, training the inner self, developing Ki and stresses the four keys to learning. This book not only intructs us on these Budo qualities, but suggest ways in which,what we learn, can be applied in our daily lives.
