TALES of the DOJO — LifeLessons from the Martial Arts

If you were lectured on the benefits of budo, it might sound like your old Civics teacher. You just might shut your listening aparatus. But, if Sensei starts talking about his past experiences, students start gathering around. Gather around! There are subtle lessons to be learned. And the teaching is not only painless, it is actually enjoyable. From the well-known articles originally published in KICK and INISIDE KARATE, Tony Annesi offers stories from his dojo files that integrate budo with daily life and daily life with self-development. 
186 pages. 10 Illustrations.

The DOJO FILES — Martial Arts Lessons from Life

In this sequel to Tales of the Dojo, Tony Annesi inverts the intent: instead of LifeLessons from the Martial Arts, he draws Martial Arts Lessons from life from unexpected true life sources, many his own experiences. The dojo files yield never before published stories that take you out of the dojo and into real life. These are not adventures nor stories about street encounters. They are about simple, daily occurrences we often take for granted. They hold unexpected truths that integrate budo with daily life...and daily life with self-development.
