Title: Martial Soup
Product review: If you liked Joe Hyams' "Zen in the Martial Arts" or Herman Kauz's "The Martial Spirit", then you're supposed to like "On the Warrior's Path". But you probably won't. What Hyams and Kauz do well -- i.e., convey something important about the martial arts beyond their self-defense or health considerations -- Mr. Bolleli does only in mediocre fashion. Certain chapters were well done, such as his categorization of martial arts systems. And Mr. Bolleli is an interested observer of and commentator on Ultimate Fighting. But most of the book seemed a mish-mash of essays on disparate subjects, with no central argument and few engaging insights. Travel on this warrior's path at your own risk.
