The Spirit of Budo

This book comprises eighteen essays which appeared in the monthly
Budo magazine. They are written with simplicity and humour, but with
an underlying discipline and authority derived from a lifetime of spiritual
and martial arts training in Adhyatma Yoga, Judo and Zen. Trevor Leggett
addresses matters including sportsmanship, achieving freedom of mind,
training the inner self, developing an inner calm, and the four keys to
learning – instruction, observation inference and personal experience. He
looks at the cultivation of these Budo qualities and suggests ways in which
the lessons learned can be applied to daily life as well as to the practice
of the martial arts.
