Пълно описание


"A Sword to Cut Stone" is a lifetime distillation of martial practice, ethical philosophy, and lived protector wisdom. Drawing on 50 years of training, teaching, and philosophical inquiry, James V. Morganelli explores the deeper purpose of martial arts as disciplines of protection, responsibility, and flourishing.

Across essays on training, pedagogy, conflict resolution, civic courage, legacy, and moral clarity, the book argues that true martial arts begin in the body but culminate in character. From dojo floors in Japan to real-world stories of intervention, mentorship, tragedy, and renewal, Morganelli shows how ethics must become physical, how tactics emerge from moral perspective, and how the mature warrior's task is to safeguard life-including the lives of others, even adversaries when possible.

Part philosophy, part field guide, part memoir of practice, "A Sword to Cut Stone" offers a profound answer to the question every serious martial artist eventually faces: What kind of person should training make of us?
