A no-nonsense guide to the mind-body training necessary for budo, the study of traditional Japanese martial arts for self-cultivation-from a sixth-degree black belt and iaido teacher

He reveals the essential components of budo training, including how to-

.determine the principles behind techniques

.develop physical strength, technical strength and strength of character

.discipline your mind to really focus and be in the present moment

Reviews for Budo Mind and Body: Training Secrets of the Japanese Martial Arts

Suino writes balanced, thoughtful works on budo, and this latest work is no exception. . . . This book is a nice introduction to budo for individuals new to the world of the dojo. It is short on hyperbole and long on experience and common sense. I would recommend it as an appropriate work for novice students, although the clarity of Suino's prose and the sincerity of his convictions regarding the benefits of studying budo would recommend it to any reader who shares something of his experience and his beliefs. --Journal of Asian Martial Arts
