Jason Brick started wrestling just after his 11th birthday. He has studied and taught martial arts for the thirty-plus years between now and then. His fascination with Japanese mythology began while training in karate and magnified while living in Japan. When not writing or practicing, he cooks, plays table-top games and tries hard to spoil his wife, two sons and cats in the lush and rainy Pacific Northwest.
This is a marvelous sequel to Wrestling Demons. Like the first in The Bushido Chronicles, it made me laugh out loud, the surprised me with how touching it could be. The characters are fleshed-out and strongly charismatic in their own ways. I want to hang out with these people! A triumphant story of the past, the future, and the virtues that endure. You'll be grateful you spent your time in this world.
