KI and the Way of the Martial Arts
Autor Kenji Tokitsuen Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2003
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.
