Description: This is a graphic novel version of the life of Miyamoto Musashi, the legendary samurai known throughout the world as a master swordsman, spiritual seeker, and author of the classic Book of Five Rings. Acclaimed manga creator Sean Michael Wilson has created both a vivid account of a fascinating period in feudal Japan and a portrait of a courageous, iconoclastic samurai who wrestled with philosophical and spiritual ideas that are as relevant today as they were in his time. For Musashi, the way of the martial arts was about mastery of the mind rather than simply technical prowess--and it is this path to mastery that is the core teaching in Book of Five Rings. This graphic novel is based on The Lone Samurai, the meticulously researched biography of Musashi by William Scott Wilson, renowned translator and expert on samurai history.

Description: When practiced at the very highest level, the martial art of karate is budo, a path of self-cultivation and self-realization. In The Inner Art of Karate, Kenji Tokitsu, a master martial artist and a scholar of the works of the legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi, explains the philosophy of karate as budo and looks deeply at the key concepts that are essential for developing a strategic mind. These concepts--distance and timing, rhythm, anticipation and intuition, and the cultivation of explosive but focused energy--are difficult to teach, but mastering them is the ultimate goal of any true martial artist. Tokitsu is a skillful teacher; he expertly guides the reader through these elusive ideas with clarity and a practical view.
