Many people are curious about martial arts, but somewhat intimidated about poking their heads into a school to see what goes on there. Harvey Liebergott takes you inside, introduces you to the teachers and shows you how the martial arts fit into middle class lives. He treats the study as a Zen art, but connects it systematically to the full range of Western experience. The bibliography references figures as diverse as Dante and Mike Tyson, Robert Frost and Larry Bird.
