Strike Like Lightning: Meditations on Nature for Martial Artists

Nature Surrounds You – Use its Power

The spirit of nature and the martial arts have been linked since the ancient times. Wind, earth, water and fire have been fused into the philosophy of the masters for centuries… applying their attributes to nearly every style. This connection has shown martial artists how to use the power of nature to gain courage, confidence and valuable skills since many aspects of the martial arts are a spiritual journey more than a physical one.

Following this tradition, Strike like Lightning focuses on meditating on nature and exploring the natural world through the eyes of a modern day warrior. No matter which style you practice, learn how to increase the benefits of your training through the teachings of nature.
