This book is about so much more than martial arts. It has something to offer anyone seeking wisdom, insight and shared knowledge. I am not a martial arts fan or practitioner but I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and will reread it for the gems of wisdom it bestows.
Lessons from the Dojo Floor helps each reader-from white belt to black belt-look at and understand why he or she trains. And for many of us, why martial art has become more what we are than what we do.
In my more than 34 years as a martial artist, like most, I have tried to own, read, or look at every martial art book I could get my hands on. I got my hands on this book and I am not letting go. I recommend each of you do the same.
