This is the second book that Paul Peck has written about his twenty-five years of experience in the martial arts, pursuing excellence in his art and meaning in his life. This saga grew out of his need to feel safe in his rather unsafe world and his attempt to level the playing field because he felt seriously inadequate. Faced with medical problems after twenty-five years of this pursuit, this book chronicles more of his adventures and interpersonal relationships with the people he met along his path and those ensuing events.

An entertaining odyssey by all means, which all readers, not only karate-ka, can enjoy. The work describes a fascinating 'voyage of discovery' through the Okinawan martial arts during the author's younger years. Both informative & factual, the work leads the reader on a journey of initiation from the preliminary stages of being a 'live-in disciple' of Goju-ryu & trainee of Matayoshi Kobudo in post-Reversion Okinawa, as he travels with the reader through the exploration of Uechi-ryu, Shorin-ryu & Okinawan te; also of a vast spectrum of connected Ryukyuan cultural entities. His attention to detail is commendable, as the shared expedition becomes an esoteric odyssey to find the zen spark of enlightenment that evades so many seekers, but which can be found within one's own nature. Mark D Bishop is arguably the foremost authority on historical Okinawa karate & martial arts. He continues to write, travel, research and teach extensively on various aspects of these, including its related anma bodywork & zen.
