SynopsisBob Orlando examines martial arts culture in the West, and questions whether many of its imported traditions - such as bowing, spiritual training, fighting barefoot - are relevant. He focuses on the most effective way for westerners to pursue their martial arts training, and suggests changes, radical and practical, to how martial artists in the West approach the rituals, philosophies, practices of martial arts.
