A classic story of one man's confrontation with the self through
Karate.
In 1962 at age twenty-two, C. W. Nicol left Wales to study Karate
in Japan. He quickly found that the study of the martial art
engaged his whole being and transformed his outlook on life. Moving
Zen is the multifaceted story of a young man who arrived in Japan
to study the technique of, and spirit behind, Karate.
Joining the Japan Karate Association, or Shotokan, Nicol discovered
that Karate, while extremely violent, also called for politeness
and a sense of mutual trust and responsibility. He learned that the
stronger the Karateka, the more inclined he was to be gentle with
others. Those who have gained a measure of skill but have not yet
achieved spiritual maturity are the dangerous practitioners.
Studying kata, Nicol came to realize that these forms are, in
essence, moving Zen and that the ultimate goal of all the martial
arts is tranquility.
Through the help of many gifted teachers, C. W. Nicol gained his
black belt, and moved progressively closer to his goal of
tranquility. His story, Moving Zen, was first published in 1975 and
has achieved the status of a modern classic.
