Several years ago, Peter Boylan began publishing some of his essays online. I was immediately struck by his wit and his articulate style, but more importantly, his ability to clearly describe one or another aspect of classical Japanese martial arts. He has published many of these essays in a book, Musings of a Budo Bum. There is much to admire in his work. In this blog, I would like to engage with Peter, rather than merely praise all that is admirable within his book, and through that, further illuminate some of the things he writes about with such grace.
