Kingdom of Dust: A sad story about happiness ペーパーバック – 2022/7/26
購入オプションとあわせ買い
The author has spent his life studying the Japanese martial art of Aikido. When looking for teachers, he asks questions about the meaning of sacrifice, the physical and mental limits that can be exceeded.
This is a book about passion and the cost of following your dreams. With beautiful illustrations by Kim Soung (USA) - former Disney illustrator and an intriguing cover by Kuba Krawczyk (Poland), the book brings a new quality to the message of universal importance of the relationship between teacher and student. While it describes the martial arts world, this book does ask fundamental questions for which there are no simple answers, and the value is just asking these questions.
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to announce the release of the printed edition of the Kingdom of Dust, by Piotr Masztalerz Sensei.
This book is our manifesto. It explains where our approach to training comes from and why we are looking for students, not clients. We sell it to pay the rent, to provide free training for people in need and to grow as a community. By purchasing it, you become part of its history and help survive our dojo - the Kingdom of Dust.
"The Kingdom of Dust was published in Polish in 2018. It is a book about being an uchideshi- a full time student – about building a dojo, and about the nature of teacher-student relationships. Aikido Journal highly recommends this book and hopes you’ll enjoy this short excerpt from the work."
Aikido Journal
"Aside from Masztalerz’s fine writing and beautiful character sketches, anyone within the martial arts community who has committed to a teacher, all of whom who have feet of clay, will find this book of merit, because Chiba Kazuo and Piotr Masztalerz’s relationship is an extreme of something many, if not most, of us have gone through. And it is through the harsh light of the extreme that we can illuminate the subtler shadows of our own path."
Ellis Amdur, A Critical Engagement With Piotr Masztalerz’s THE KINGDOM OF DUST

- 2022年11月22日に日本でレビュー済みAmazonで購入While this book is ostensibly about the martial art of aikido, it is actually about so much more. The author tells of his life in the aikido world and, more centrally, with his highly-respected (if somewhat difficult) teacher. All of this is fodder for an examination of what life is about. The author's honesty and eloquence in telling the story make for compelling reading. If you are a martial artist of any stripe, this book is a must read. Even if you are not a martial artist, it is still a great book.
- 2022年8月25日に日本でレビュー済みWhile this book is about a man's journey in life with Aikido at its core, this is not a book about Aikido techniques and theoretical treatises on how to "fix" problems with Aikido techniques that make it weak compared to other arts. It is also not some kind of mental self-help book that talks about how you should rethink things and take on better perspectives to better fit the "Aikido perspective/mindset" that will make you a better person in the personal/professional settings of life.
It is a sincere story about things that happened in life, many times jumping around in time and order as one might when reminiscing about the past in their head while telling it to you. The down to earth feel is welcome as many tend to write about or around of the subject of Aikido with a detached air to create the illusion of objectivity and professorial understanding and wisdom.
Piotr's life began in Poland, still marked by the effects of Communism at the time, and takes you through bits and pieces of his experiences that helped shape who he is. I think there are many who practice that claim Aikido "changed" them, but Piotr's story tells it differently. Aikido shows *you* who *you* really are. Piotr's story takes you through many exchanges showing you his inner thoughts at the time along with the weird and wondrous people he encountered.
There is no claim to being enlightened in this book and how to attain it. It's a story about struggles and being a madman who continues to drop everything else in pursuit of it, no matter how painful some days can be or how much uncertainty awaited the author.
You might think, "Well, that's just stupid." sometimes as you read the book, but I think it flows very well and while the English isn't perfect in this translation, it is an enjoyable read and I recommend it.
I wish anyone who considers buying and reading this book an enjoyable experience and the author well on his continuing journey in the practice of Aikido.

5つ星のうち5.0 A book about the search for excellence
Amazonで購入Although the story is of the authors training in the martial art of Aikido the book really details the dedication needed to get to the top in your chosen sport. It is hard work and requires single mindedness, self sacrifice and a lot of blood sweat & tears. In martial arts the relationship with the teacher is at the heart of learning & growth & is detailed really well in the authors story of his development. I enjoyed the insights given into early life in Poland and reading this difficult journey but hopefully ultimately rewarding for the author

5つ星のうち5.0 A Serious Student's Story
Amazonで購入First a disclosure. I know Piotr and most of the individuals mentioned in his book. I am also an aikido teacher in the same organization as Piotr. This book is a wonderfully written account of his development as a martial artist and human being. His style of writing is easy to read and conveys so well the array of emotions which he experienced. The book is laid out in small parts, each telling a story. The sum of these parts is his story. Such a heartfelt book. If you are a searcher of any leaning, this is a book you must read.

5つ星のうち5.0 Excellent, well-written book
Amazonで購入I have trained in Aikido for 45 years...although, admittedly, not as intensely as the author. This is the first book review I have ever written. I originally read this book as a downloaded version and just received my paperbound version this week. I will likely read it again. The author is a skilled writer and gives you that "fly on the wall" perspective on his development as an Aikido student and teacher, and as an uchi deshi in the intense dojo of the late Kazuo Chiba Sensei. It touches upon the wide range of emotions involved in learning the art of Aikido and especially those intense emotions involved in being an uchi deshi (live-in student) to a teacher who spent his life making sure that the Aikido he was teaching did not compromise in any fashion. The writing had a hold on me as strong as any action novel that has kept me up all night reading. It inspires the reader to re-examine his/her own relationship with Aikido training. I was sorry to get to the end of its 465 pages. I highly recommend this book.
