Peter Boylan, the well-known ‘Budo Bum’, has been studying Japanese martial arts for over thirty years. After starting with Kodokan Judo, he moved to Japan, where he lived and studied martial arts for almost seven years, practised Iaido and Jodo, and was certified in two koryu.
In this book-interview Boylan offers many fundamental insights into Budo practice, using the approach that characterises his main work, ‘Musings of a Budo Bum’: he examines how we approach our practice, what motivates us and where we can work to grow.
This book addresses a number of interesting questions, suggesting answers that can help Budo enthusiasts take a better look at their practice and themselves.
