Turning his back on the excesses of London in the credit boom,
Edward Burke sets off on a year-long journey of self-discovery, to
learn from some of the greatest masters of martial arts. His search
for growth through the fighting arts will take him to the academy
of Bruce Lee's most famous student, a traditional dojo in Japan,
ancient Buddhist temples and a scorching capoeira roda in Brazil.
But his greatest challenge will be as the live-in student of the
legendary Chiba Sensei - Japanese swordsman, Zen monk and master of
aikido. Far from the rarefied world of high finance, he soon finds
himself scrubbing the floors of Chiba Sensei's dojo, bruised,
scared and exhausted from long days of punishing training. But in
the intensity of the training and the formidable presence of his
fearsome, charismatic master there may just be something which will
make this odd pilgrimage worthwhile. Told with a wry humor, woven
with insights, and populated with colorful characters, this is the
joyful tale of a year of pain, suffering and menial labor,
undertaken for the love of movement and the privilege of learning
from the masters.
