I can't really summarize the range and depth of material that Alex covers in this audio series that is both a spiritual and martial arts biography, and a distillation of his years of searching and diligent training in the internal arts. "Zen Mind Martial Power" offers clear, practical training protocols; deeply insightful anecdotes; rare translation and references to a wide variety of masters in the arts Alex has studied; and a nicely refined and subtle sense of humor at just the right moments to leaven the seriousness of the pursuit. I've been through the whole series twice, listening on long drives, on practice breaks in the park, walking up forested trails through mountain mists, and in pubs while intensively studying the brief lives of bubbles in my beer. The time spent in listening to, thinking about and practicing from the material in this collection will be well worth your while.
Ku jin gan lai (苦尽甘来).
After bitter, the sweet comes.
