Daniele Bolelli
Daniele Bolelli was born on January 11th, 1974 and is currently 51 years old. Daniele Bolelli was born in Milan, Italy. Bolelli attended The University of California, Los Angeles where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology and a Master of Arts degree in American Indian Studies and California State University, Long Beach where he received a Master of Arts degree in history. He also studied for his doctorate in history at Cardiff University, but did not graduate.
Daniele Bolelli is a university lecturer, writer, podcaster, and martial artist.
Daniele’s first solo book was published when he was just 22 years old. It became a cult classic in Italy even outside of the confines of martial arts circles. It was later published in America with 3 more chapters under the name of
On the Warrior’s Path.
He began teaching at numerous colleges in Southern California. Unlike most of the scholars that just specialize in a particular field of study, he adopts a “renaissance” man style approach to teaching which has let him lecture on this wide range of topics like American Indian philosophy and history, history of the United States, world religions, history and philosophy of martial arts, history of ancient Rome, the ethnic experience in the United States, world history. He’s also taught several courses on the relationship between history and cinema.
Possibly even more peculiar than his unusually extensive repertoire is his lecturing style. A lot like his writing, his lecturing combines discussions of deep and complex topics with a lot of street lingo and humor. He’s been defined as being half Zen master and half stand up comedian. It’s an odd mix that’s made him quite popular among students.
Daniele has trained in numerous styles of martial arts including Brazilian jiujitsu, kung fu san soo, boxing, judo, submission wrestling, as well as others.
On the Warrior’s Path: Philosophy, Fighting, and Martial Arts Mythology is an insightful and entertaining history of martial arts and the warrior’s role, drawing on philosophy, pop culture, spirituality, religion, and mythology.
The urge to forge one’s own character by fighting, both in daily life and down on the mat, appeals to something deep inside of us. More than just a collection of fighting techniques, martial arts constitute a path to developing spirit, body, and awareness. This book connects the martial arts with this larger perspective, merging subtle philosophies with no-holds-barred competition, Bruce Lee with Nietzsche, the original
Star Wars trilogy with radical Taoism and Buddhism.
At the core of all of these phenomena is the warrior. Even though such an archetype appears to manifest contradictory values, Daniele describes the core of such tension: how the training of martial technique will lead to a renunciation of violence, and how overcoming fear will lead to a unique freedom. It’s aimed at students of any level or tradition of martial arts however also accessible to the armchair warrior, and brings some fresh insights as to why martial arts is such an enduring and widespread discipline and art.
