Sun Tzu, A Jing-Tao Approach To The Art Of Winning, Review
Custom Search
"Only after long contemplation, and at some insistence of those who know me, do I offer this book on my philosophy of winning. Now, after leaving the arena of a lifetime of learning and teaching Martial Arts, have I retired. I have named Mr. Geoffrey Davis as my successor to the Jing-Tao Martial Art Style. I have also helped in creating, and developing a new Martial Art Style called Sun-Tao, with Mr. Michael Littrell. I have produced many fine Black Belts of varying degrees over the years, and have had the pleasure of of teaching Police and Military. My Martial Art career has been full and satisfying, especially upon the completion of this book." I'm not sure how to review this book. The majority of it is in point form and I found it very hard going. Mostly because I didn't understand it. There were times however that I could see how the points being made could be used in political, business and sporting fields, to get the upper hand on your adversary.
To help clarify things a bit more, I have included this from the forward.
"Please understand, this is not a book of theological or deep philosophical extraction of the meaning of life, or a higher debate on its intentions. I have endeavored to distill it down to a one-on-one equation. That is to say, you and your opponent. There are many ways in which to interpret Sun Tzu {R.I.P. c. 496 BC (traditional)}, this is mine. Before reading on, please allow me to first explain that the views and interpretations are solely that of Jing-Tao Martial Arts, IE. 'me' (1969-2010). The format is written in three alternative ways, depending on the verse(s) being examined.
1. One, will be a straight interpretation.
2. Two, a similar explanation with a Jing-Tao view will be offered.
3. Three, no interpretation, however, with a different point of view from the pages of Jing-Tao Martial Arts."
If you are looking for some direction on how to beat an opponent, then this book will give you plenty of ideas but if you just want a relaxing Sunday read, then this book is not for you.
