Ki and the Way of the Martial Arts

Author: Kenji Tokitsu
Publisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 1570629986
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 123

Book Description
While technical prowess and physical power are essential characteristics of a martial artist, true mastery of the art comes by cultivating one's inner strength. Here, Kenji Tokitsu—an authority on Japanese and Chinese combat arts and a respected karate teacher—shows how cultivating ki (life force) and understanding the principles of budo (the martial path of self-development) can make training in martial arts more meaningful, effective, and personally and spiritually rewarding. Tokitsu emphasizes the mental aspects of martial arts practice including: • The importance of ki development • Seme, or capturing your opponent's mind • Understanding ma, the spatial relationship in combat Studying these concepts, he explains, gives martial artists the tools to train for a lifetime and at the very highest level. Tokitsu also gives a historical and cultural survey of budo, and explains how the Western view of budo training is different than the Japanese—a perspective rarely available to Western martial artists.

Pages : 126

Book Description
Sanchin is an ancient martial arts form. Originated in India, and introduced to the monks of the Shaolin temple by Bodhidharma, who trained in the art of 'Vajramukti'. The Sanchin form is a training form and not a fighting form, and is not designed to teach the student defensive or offensive fighting techniques. Sanchin practice is designed to emphasize the principles over the function of Uechi-Ryu training and to accentuate the quality and not the application of individual techniques. The Sanchin form provides movement templates from which to learn martial arts principles and techniques. Sanchin: The Inner Structure of Uechi-Ryu is the most comprehensive book on Sanchin training as it relates to Uechi-Ryu (Chinese/Okinawan martial art system). The book includes a wealth of important information useful to all practitioners of Sanchin including a brief history of Sanchin, the five principles, the three elements, and the three levels of Sanchin training.

Five Years, One Kata

Pages : 331

Book Description
This remarkable book gives the reader a unique insight into an amazing five-year study of a single kata (Gojushiho). It shows the depth that is waiting to be discovered by the close study of kata, covering an incredible range of subjects including: * imagery * the psychology of confrontation * the common acts of physical violence * vital points and how to exploit them * the methodology for the break-down and understanding of kata * the applications of the kata * the principles of karate and how to apply them * the applications (in detail) for each of the movements of Gojushiho * the major variations of each application * objective measurements regarding their practicality * how to link the applications together The author also explains how to undertake your own study using a single kata of your choice, and how to build a training regime based on the kata. If you have ever wondered what kata is really all about then this book is for you. When karate was a secret art, practiced in the back yards of Okinawa by a few dedicated masters and their disciples, it was usual to train in a single kata for many years. A master of karate would know just one, two or possibly three kata. Through the deep study of those few kata the master karateka would possess a complete self-defence system, he would be well versed in the underlying principles of karate and he would have a memory aid which would map out his complete training regime. Over the last century the practice of a single kata has disappeared from karate practice. The deep understanding of a few kata has been replaced by the superficial understanding of many. This book shows you in great detail how to recover that understanding and how to put kata back at the heart of karate. What leaders in the field have to say about the book: "Without question this book adds to the body of knowledge in the study of karate" - Rick Clark
