Myths and Legends of the Martial Arts Description

Each discipline of the martial arts - karate, kung fu, judo, aikido, sumo - is at its most developed point a philosophy as much as a code of war. Like any other culture, each martial art has its founding myths, defining acts and heroes; stories that tell of an art's origins and make sense of its underlying principles. Some of these legends are based on real events while others are told with a voice whose source is lost in the mists of time. However, the real truth lies in their poetic wisdom. These short parables, as diverse as the martial arts themselves, tell colourful tales of cowardice and valour, pride and humility, foolishness and wisdom, heroes and villains culled from the bloody history of the East.
Each is a jewel of enlightened wisdom, offering insight and delectation to students of the martial arts and lovers of eastern wisdom.
