Pressestimmen
"At last! The martial arts have long awaited a book on genuine iaidõ. It could only have been done properly through a Japanese-American collaboration like this—Master Shimabukuro, with his unparalleled expertise and classical training, and Mr. Pellman, who has translated this unique philosophy into understandable Western terms. Flashing Steel will be a true milestone of the art."
—Alfonso Gomez, Martial Arts Director, University of California, San Diego, CA
“Why would a t’ai chi ch’uan student and instructor for over twenty years want to take up iaidõ? I was curious, initially, to explore a different tradition and approach. But I have been captivated by the experience and insights iaidõ offers. It begins with a stillness, an upright posture, breath natural, mind calm. Then the draw: the bright flash and hiss of steel that reveal the subtle qualities of the substantial (sword) cutting through the insubstantial (air). I encourage others—newcomers or current iaidõ enthusiasts—to acquire this remarkable took and explore the mysteries of iaidõ.”

Kurzbeschreibung
Flashing Steel, the best-selling and highly acclaimed book on iaijutsu (alternatively called iaido), is as much about bringing life into focus as it is about techniques of swordsmanship. Iaijutsu was the martial art of the samurai of feudal Japan who remain the most enduring of warrior icons, equally popular in the East and the West. Iaijutsu sword training has philosophical tenets that inform the warrior’s life, building compassion and self-discipline both inside and outside the dojo.
Shimabukuro Shihan and Pellman Sensei combine practical exercises, photographs, and historical and cultural context in a thoughtful guide to this most popular of Japanese sword arts. The book features Master Masayuki Shimabukuro’s renowned expertise and classical training, with Leonard Pellman adapting the information for a Western audience. Included here are dozens of kata (formal training patterns) that govern iaijutsu, with partner exercises applying the principles of the art in realistic attack and defense situations. These kata are also widely practiced by students of kendo, aikido, and other sword-based martial arts, giving the book a wider relevance beyond iaijutsu. This second edition of Flashing Steel includes new techniques, updated photographs, and theoretical explanations for both new and existing sword forms.

Format:Taschenbuch
Mit eines der besten Bücher über Iaido. Zwar immer noch nicht zum Selbststudium geeignet (das bedarf dann doch eines Lehrers), aber als Referenzwerk erstklassig. Gute Hintergrundinformation, sehr viele Bilder, präzise Beschreibungen der Techniken und Erläuterung von deren Bedeutung. Mit einer DVD dieses populären Stils (gibt es genügend, auch von Meister Shimabukoro)wäre das Buch perfekt.

Simply the best Iaido Book in English
23. März 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is the best Iaido book available in English - highly improved from the first edition. pictures are much more explicit and a much better help to understand the wazas. Of course one won't be able to learn from any book, for all details can't be written, but this one is absolutely excellent and extremely detailed; an excellentreminder of what has been studied in class with one's instructor.

Better than the 1st edition
12. März 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
If you enjoyed the 1st edition's philisophical and historical context, the myriad step by step kata photos, and life applying overviews, then the 2nd edition is more impressive. This edition has MORE photos for each kata and more pages (70+). Great addition for your library and swordmanship practices.

A must read
19. Januar 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is not a substitute for learning Eishin-ryu from a teacher but it will allow you to understand the basic movement and intention of the waza. It is an excellent reference to complement personal instruction. The explanation of philosophical views that pertain to everyday life are an important component that thread the use of the sword to a spiritual foundation. This second edition is the most complete and enlightening book to date on Eishin-ryu Iaijutsu and offers more photographs than the first edition. This book is highly recommended.
I would also recommend Masayuki Shimbukuro Hanshi's book on Living Karate.
