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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tokitsu emphasizes the mental aspects of martial arts practice including: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   •  The importance of ki development \u003cbr\u003e   •  Seme, or capturing your opponent’s mind \u003cbr\u003e   •  Understanding ma, the spatial relationship in combat \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStudying 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more-link-wrap opened\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-also-in-series\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-also-by-author\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-author-spotlights\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-second-product-detail\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-return-id=\"mobile-praise\" id=\"desktop-praise\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"seemore-1\" class=\"slot product-praise seemoreenable\" height-fold=\"280\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"slot-header\"\u003ePraise\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"clearfix\"\u003e\"In this text the author explains how his unique style was developed, and in doing so, reveals the important workings and goals of the internal world of martial arts.\"— \u003cem\u003eJournal of Asian Martial Arts \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"desktop-table-of-contents\" data-return-id=\"mobile-table-of-contents\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-toc seemoreenable opened\" id=\"seemore-2\" height-fold=\"280\" target-height=\"1231.7\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-listen show\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67944691204372,"sku":"jfk1793381497577","price":15.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/0932\/6356\/files\/ki-and-the-way-of-the-martial-arts-by-kenji-tokitsu_1.jpg?v=1793381501","url":"https:\/\/seasonal-reset-style.shop\/products\/ki-and-the-way-of-the-martial-arts-by-kenji-tokitsu","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
