The Greatest Lessons from the Martial Arts, compiled by Tim Johnson for the Martial Arts Lineage Project, is a thoughtful collection of quotes and testimonials focusing on the proper mindset required for those pursuing Martial Arts and the wide range of possible benefits associated with practicing Martial Arts in their purest form. While some might approach this slender volume as a casual reading experience, The Greatest Lessons from the Martial Arts is actually a treasure trove of philosophy and insight, offering hard-won wisdom from practitioners of both genders and in all stages of life.

The mission of Tim Johnson’s The Greatest Lessons from the Martial Arts is perhaps best summed up in the following quote, from the foreword: “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.” It is always enlightening to read the work of artists who are passionate about their chosen art form. The Greatest Lessons from the Martial Arts is a joyful celebration of a timeless art form and is therefore a pleasure to read. This wise collection of anecdotes, quotes, and testimonials has much to offer any reader, regardless of whether or not he/she is a practitioner of Martial Arts. The concepts outlined in this book are valuable for those seeking to succeed at life in general. In a gentle contemplative way, the thoughts and ideas expressed in The Greatest Lessons from the Martial Arts will lead to a more positive approach to all things. This is a book to be read and re-read many times. The wisdom it offers would apply to anyone seeking inner strength, harmony, and truth.
