Against a backdrop of the fearless samurai, the warrior class of feudal Japan, the adoption of Zen Buddhism as the warriors’ religion and the modern wars of aggression by an industrialized and militarized country, one man successfully reconciled his violence and that of the martial arts to a fervent desire for inner and outer peace. That man, Morihei Ueshiba, would found the martial art, Aikido, often referred to as “moving Zen.” Aikido’s new ethic resulted from an enlightening experience, the implications of which, were quite different from the slavish and violent behavior that could be associated with the satori experience of Zen Buddhism.Violence perpetrated by Buddhists is not a topic that many writers who cover Asian religion, politics and martial arts wish to explore. Zen Steel, Aiki Heart unveils Zen Buddhist enlightenment’s dark side—a side that can justify and encourage support of a warrior’s violent actions, a side that can foster a personnal adherence to totalitarian ideology and a side that produces a kind of non-reflective compliance to authorities. The authors offer an alternative kind of enlightenment accompanied by a Western style critical approach to examining martial art training, religious claims and social thoughts and behaviors.This book is an invaluable source of wealth and practical knowledge. It delivers a powerful message for all martial artists and for society as a whole. In support of the book, Appendicies A and B and a DVD (sold separately) contain more than 200 techniques that complement the philosophy presented in the book.
