In my opinion, there is no one out there who explains Japanese concepts in English better than Chuck Clark, at least in terms of martial arts. I have found that there is a corollary in music for the idea of zanshin. I think that zanshin is the pause between when a master musician has finished a piece of music and the applause begins. If you have experienced such a concert, I think that you have experienced zanshin.

Thanks for the article, Mr. Clark
