Martial Arts Madness - Rollicking, irreverent, but serious about traps of
narcissism which ensnare practitioners, Glenn Morris
introduces us to "martial arts maddness", a set of
syndromes that lie in wait for aspiring Practitioners. While
spinning a few outrageous yarns of his own, he brings
common sense to the "wild tales" martial artists often
weave around their chi experiences.
For this third volume of the "field notes of an American
Ninja", Glenn Morris includes material from fellow
teachers; Louisiana healers Ken Morgan and Becca
Robertson on chi gung exercises; Robin Martin on
meditation visualizations; John Porter on developing psi
abilities. We also peek at Dr. Morris' e-mail about others'
tales of grace in perilous moments.
Morris combines the wisdom of a tribal elder with the
salty humor of a retired captain. Pride, Morris reminds us,
is invariably the stumbling block that keeps a skilled
fighter from developing subtle energy awareness.
Whether you're twelve or sixty-five, just beginning serious
study or a long time habituè of dojos around the world,
the path of budo with Sensei Morris is not to be missed.
