Synopsis

The Japanese sword arts are so intricately intertwined with daily living and the enterprising mindset in Japan that the revered spirit of the samurai will never die. Even today, in corporations, schools, and daily life, the spirit of the samurai is very much alive.

Shihan Dana Abbott has been living the Way of the sword for over 35 years and is working to teach and instill that spirit to today’s youth around the world.

This book is an adaptation of an interview with Shihan Abbott about his background in the sword arts and about the history and spirit of the samurai. Since the Koryu style practiced in the warring factions of Japan to the government-run martial arts universities of today, one thing has remained the same. Spirit.

“That’s why the Japanese people have one of the highest literacy rates in the world. They make it a point to make their mind and their body work together.” - Shihan Dana Abbott

“It seems like there’s an abundance of ADHD kids now and they’re giving them drugs, or giving them this, or giving them that. For the past 10,000 years, we've had ADHD people around all the time. They were called hunters. They were the people who would become kings.” - Shihan Dana Abbott

Tim Johnson is the founder of the Martial Arts Lineage Project and interviews martial arts masters from all around the world in an effort to educate others on the benefits of training and studying these ancient arts.

The Martial Arts Lineage Project works to document the lineage of all styles of martial arts worldwide and preserve the history and legacy of martial arts legends of the past and present. We are all connected through the flowing river of martial arts lineage that links instructors to students, generation after generation. The lessons learned by one generation are passed on to the next in a never-ending cycle of sharing and learning.

What if we could see back in time to the ancient masters who developed these arts as tools for survival, daily empowerment, the enrichment of life, and a better human race? To understand anything it is best to learn it first hand – from the source. We bring you interviews and discussions with legendary martial artists from across the country and around the world. Authors, instructors, and anthropologists share their insights on the world of martial arts to give you a better perspective of what is out there and where it all comes from.
