Neuware - Tang Soo Tao: The Living Buddha in Martial Virtue is a thorough, comprehensive and integrated guide to Martial Arts; the student syllabus, technique, training and belt grading of the Tang Soo Tao style; and the autobiography of Master Robert Caputo. Before starting his Martial Arts school in Darwin, Australia in 1974, Master Caputo did extensive training in Tang Soo Do, Goju and Aikido, Nei Gong, Kick Boxing and Penak Silat; as well as mastering acupuncture and oriental medicine.After meeting Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche in 1976, he subsequently travelled to India to study Tibetan Buddhism. There he met with HH Dalai Lama and was tutored by HH Ling Rinpoche and HH Trijang Rinpoche, tutors to the HH Dalai Lama.The Living Buddha in Martial Virtue is his account of his quest to rediscover the link between physical Martial Arts and spiritualism in the way that was conceived by warrior Buddhist monk, Bodhidharma, some 1500 years earlier.Sadly, Master Caputo died in a car accident in 1985 but his legacy is a thriving network of Martial Art schools administered by the Tang Soo Tao Federation of Australia. The release of the 50th Anniversary edition of his book honours his lasting legacy.Tang Soo Tao; martial art; martial arts; self defence; black belt; gradings; ying yang; Buddhist meditation; Chinese meditation; Zen Buddhism; running a training hall; attitudes; motivation; moral training; basic movements; hand movements; stances; defence positions; practical applications of defence skills; personal development.…
