The techniques of budo -- kendo, karate, aikido, judo -- are explored in an astonishing look at the oriental "art of killing". Everything you see in Budo is real: the amazing action is performed by the master practitioners of these spiritual and physical skills. In ancient Japan, the sword of the samurai warrior ruled the land. The average citizen was not allowed to be armed, so the art of hand-to-hand fighting -- BUDO -- was invented to combat the sword. This fascinating one-of-a-kind history penetrates the martial arts' deep roots in Eastern philosophy, the religious thought that animates the master's fearless self-confidence, and the eternal spirit of fighting protection. The myths and legends surrounding the warring arts are finally dispelled in a definitive picture of the truth about life and death in battle. |
