Scott Shaw is an accomplished martial artist and practicing Buddhist. He is the author of several books, including Zen O'Clock, Samurai Zen, Ki Process and Tao of Self Defense.

In this book, Shaw draws upon his knowledge of Asian culture and years of study in the martial arts to show us how we, too, can achieve higher understanding through the tenets of Zen Buddhism. Iado the meditative way of the sword becomes a path to enlightenment. The first step is to learn to control the physical body/ once physical senses are honed, the thinking mind can be silenced and can join with the body to become a unified force.
