The Way of the Warrior: Thinking Like a Martial Artist by Tatsuru Uchida, Paperback Japanese martial arts, refined as killing techniques, are based on the assumption of "life-or-death" situations. Since the end of the Edo period, martial arts have been subjected to historical selection, and have survived by "transforming" each time. Even if their original meaning has been lost, martial arts, which are "a system of techniques for enhancing the ability to perceive the mind and body and for bringing out latent potential," are now filled with wisdom that we should see. This is a perceptive treatise on martial arts that will make you feel refreshed and well-rounded the more you read it. Chapter 1: What is Martial Arts? (Is it necessary to make martial arts compulsory? Etiquette for banquets, etc.) Chapter 2: The Martial Artist's Mindset (The bricoleur's mindset, "education" as "meddling," etc.) Chapter 3: The Mind, Technique, and Body of Martial Arts (The Usefulness of Delusions, The Path of Mr. Tada, etc.) Chapter 4: The Ethos of the Samurai (The Battle of Self-Restraint, The Basic Law on Education and True National Interest, etc.) Chapter 5: Naval Warfare in the 21st Century (Nationalists and Patriots, How to Lose and Its Pleasures, etc.) Author: Tatsuru Uchida Price: 880 yen Published: 2019/04/09 Pages: 416 pages Size: Paperback, 10.6 x 1.6 x 14.9 cm Publisher: Chikuma Shobo [Information] Purchase Date: 4 years ago Number of Uses: Read several times Product Condition: ● Yellowing: None ● Creases: None ● Scratches: None ● Stains: None *See photos ● Folds: None *See photos ● Writing: None ● Notes: There is a cut on only one page.
