Living The Martial Way

Has anyone read this book by Forrest E. Morgan? I just finished it yesterday and thought it was awesome. It is pretty much a how to on becoming a modern warrior, focusing on how you should train and think rather than specific techniques. Although it is very TMA based, you can really apply almost all of the book to any art.

That's a great book. Have you ever read On the Warrior's Path?

Its a great book.

Do any of you study the "Gorin No Sho", AKA the book of 5 rings by Miyamoto Musashi?

It's not the easiest read you are ever going to come across. Difficult style and sometimes obscure ****phores but very interesting nonetheless. Did you check out On the Warrior's Path?
