| Review # 1 was written on 2008-01-18 00:00:00 James Brickhouse This is one of two books that have changed my life significantly in the past year. I'd been studying Hapkido, a Korean martial art related to Tae Kwon Do and Aikido, and had learned much about balance, the power of circular motion, and how to focus my chi into the impact of a strike. Though my body felt better than it ever had before in my life, I kept feeling like something was missing. In addition, even though I had learned and become efficient with dozens of self-defense techniques, my original fear for my own safety had not diminished. I could even say that it had become worse, for the constant obsession with preparing for a fight. Boabom, then, is something different from any martial art. For one, it is not martial. It does not seek to prepare anyone for battle or violence. Second, its primary goal is to improve your awareness and perception by training the mind and the body to work together in synchronicity. You learn to breath with every motion you make, which allows you to move continuously without tiring. Instead of burning your chi on the moment of impact, you learn to harness your energy though the entire path of every movement. The second, book, not surprisingly, is Asarno's other book, 'Seamm Jasani'. Boabom is fast, and kinetic, while Seamm Jasani develops slow, graceful, relaxing meditations that quickly bring your mind into full focus. As a side note, since reading the books, I've also taken classes at the Boston Boabom School, despite the fact that I live in Chicago. It's worth the trip. |
