bring meaning and purpose to their lives

of martial arts in their lives.
- Explores in-depth why many women are dedicating themselves to the
martial arts.
- An inspiration for anyone concerned with enhancing the physical,
spiritual, and social dimensions of life, and for those interested

"Sharp Spear, Crystal Mirror" explores in depth how, why, and to
what effect considerable numbers of women are dedicating themselves
to the martial arts. The twenty-four women interviewed here discuss
the physical and spiritual challenges of martial arts training and
how it helps to bring meaning and purpose to their lives. Their
disciplines include T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Aikido, Capoeira, Wing Chun,
Judo, Kajukenbo, Jujutsu, Tae Kwon Do, Karate, and Kung Fu, and
their backgrounds are equally diverse. Some were accomplished
athletes before beginning, while others had never been comfortable
with their physical bodies until discovering the martial arts. All
have received deep spiritual nourishment through their practice,
integrating and healing their bodies and minds as well as enriching
community bonds. Those interested in women's studies will find a
wonderful sample of contemporary American women who speak
articulately about the forces that have shaped their lives.
