Philosophy & Religion Biography & Memoir Sport & Recreation
Tang Soo Tao: The Living Buddha in Martial Virtue by Robert Caputo is a 1981 Australian paperback that blends biography, spirituality and sports to trace one man’s path through the meditative martial art of Tang Soo Tao. Caputo, a longtime student and teacher, recounts how ancient Shaolin principles, Tai Chi softness and yoga-like breath work combine into a modern university course that trains body, mind and spirit together.
Readers interested in Pa-Kua circles, Zen meditation or simply adding purpose to their fitness routine will find practical drills, lineage stories and reflective essays spread across 254 tight-bound pages. The tone is welcoming to adult learners and curious teens alike, making the book both a reference manual and an inspiring true story of personal development through disciplined movement.
This used copy remains clean and readable: no writing, tears or dog-eared corners, with all pages turning freely. A small sticker on the publication page and light water marks confined to the rear inner cover and blank flyleaf do not affect text or photos. A solid, affordable addition to any martial arts, Eastern philosophy or Australian sporting memoir shelf.
