"In this remarkable monologue, Manaka Unsui presents a definitive personal account of his life-long experience as a martial artist, military man and world-renowned teacher of the classical martial arts of Japan. With uncompromising candor and detail, Unsui recalls the story of his life in the early days of his Kobudo training, how he came to meet his Sensei, his experience with Toshitsugu Takamatsu and how he continued his life as a martial artist while serving as a Career Officer in the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. As though we are on the tatami in his own dojo, Unsui's words are straight to the point and cut through the smoke and mirrors so often found in today's martial arts, while his compassion as a father and leader fill the pages of this soldier's monologue. Reflections of Unsui is a must read for the student of Kobudo."  (text from back cover)
