Summary:  "Film, television and popular fiction have long exploited the image of the serene Buddhist monk who is master of the deadly craft of hand-to-hand combat. while these media overly romanticize the relationship between a philosophy of non-violence and the art of fighting [this title] shows this link to be nevertheless real, even natural."--Jacket.
