{"product_id":"matsumura-sokon-andreas-quast-9798605143611","title":"Matsumura Sokon: The Seven Virtues of Martial Arts","description":"Considered the primary source-text of old-style Okinawan martial arts, the \"Seven Virtues of Martial Arts\" are admired for their straightforward advice. Handwritten in the late 19th century by Matsumura Sokon, the most celebrated ancestor of karate, they are considered the ethical fountain and technical key to understand what can't be seen.Matsumura himself pointed out that the \"Seven Virtues of Martial Arts\" were praised by a wise man in an ancient manuscript, a manuscript that has remained obscure and undiscovered ever since. Now the source of this wondrous composition has been discovered and verified. Presented and explained here for the first time, it is not only the source of Matsumura's \"Seven Virtues of Martial Arts\". In fact: it is the original meaning of martial arts per se.NOTE: This is the updated version of \"King Wu Once Buckled on his Armor,\" with a new title and the text spelling overworked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andreas Quast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8605143614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798605143611\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Andreas Quast","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983280996607,"sku":"9798605143611","price":9.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d08075e-0115-406b-8100-2f296da6f18e.jpg?v=1683265709","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/matsumura-sokon-andreas-quast-9798605143611","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
