Immortal Combat

Immortal Combat gives a complete overview of all aspects of combat from the primitive to the cutting edge examining the crucial differences between the soldier and the warrior and the martial artist and the martial sportsperson. Author Bruce Thomas argues that the path of the true martial artist is that of self knowledge and self mastery while the lesser ambition of the martial sportsperson sets him or herself above and apart from others. Thomas explores the fundamental questions What is martial art? What are its origins? And what is its greatest potential? He looks at both internal and external martial arts using martial art icon Bruce Lee spiritual master Morihei Ueshiba karate Champion Joe Lewis and others as examples of different paths. With this book you’ll see how developing skills of the martial artist can lead from ordinary physical abilities into extraordinary ones – skills that point both to the most advanced combat technology and at the same time to its deepest origins with the warriors of the past. You’ll learn how a renewed relationship with the forces of the natural world goes hand in hand with a renewed awareness of the supernatural helping any practitioner from beginner to master to deepen self understanding and access hidden potential.
