| The
Way of the Living Sword is the final installment in D.E. Tarver’s
popular Warrior Series. It stands beside The Book of Five
Rings by Miyamoto Musashi as one of the greatest writings
of the warrior mind.
In The Way of the Living Sword, Munenori gives
an in-depth explanation of the connection between physical
martial arts and the mental process of Zen. While Munenori
and Musashi were both avid students of Zen, Munenori was more
fascinated by the academic aspects of the philosophy.
Munenori stretches the consciousness of even
the most enlightened martial artist. Martial arts devotees
will experience many flashes of revelation as Tarver explores
the various aspects of Munenori’s approach.

Having read many versions of Musashi's Book
Of Five Rings I was very keen to see if the Secret Teachings
of Yagyu Munenori held any new principles. I have not been
disappointed. This short but brilliant book is ideal for the
martial artist, sportsperson, teacher, doctor in fact anyone
who "deals" with humans daily and wishes to have
better ways to interact. You will of course find no reference
to these professions in the book but you will discover many
ways to take the way of the sword into every day life. A super,
easy to read book that offers instant guidance!
