Clearing Away the Clouds: Nine Lessons from the Martial Arts
by Stephan Fabian

Clearing Away the Clouds: Nine Lessons from the Martial Arts Weatherhill
ISBN 0-8348-0468-9
159 pages
$14.95

Clearing Away Clouds brings Dr. Fabian's excellent background in anthropology and Japanese culture to bear on over two decades of training in Japanese and Korean martial arts and ways. The result is an interesting autobiography that also details nine lessons for self-mastery in daily life and the martial arts.

The book is divided into nine chapters, one for each of the "Nine Lessons for Life" that are the subject of this obviously sincere work. Mr. Fabian's precepts for both martial artists and the average person are:

Embrace a Way

Accept Responsibility for Your Actions

Control the Breath

Focus

Develop Self-discipline

Train Hard, Seeking Aesthetic Refinement

Be Patient and Flow

Persevere

Cultivate the Mind of No Mind
