Sort of zenny,even What I found most interesting in read Suzuki is how "modern" a lot of the "ancient" stuff he presents is. When you understand the OODA cycle and look at where most people get stuck, orienting and deciding, it's kind of neat to see this old guy writing about not allowing your OODA loop to be derailed by unimportant stimuli. The vocabulary is completely different, but the intent is the same. Suzuki dovetails nicely with Musashi's Five Rings, also and the vocabulary is more similar.

The basic idea, "It's a fight, so fight" is universal. I just find it neat to see the parallels between the old warrior's mindset and the new.
