Our Way of Life: Principles, Customs, Practices, Traditions, and Philosophy of Traditional Karate (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798364543141)

This book can be used as a reference to learn more about Traditional Karate, which, in the words of its creators, is a combat thought system that aims to draw students who want to become role models for humanity through their training by exhibiting loyalty, honesty, work ethic, strong family ties, and community service. All people need these attributes in their lives, and traditional karate is about ideas, ethics, and principles. Every culture places emphasis on distinctive attitudes, principles, and ways of being (some way to bring out the highest and best qualities). Most people don't think about how language and culture affect conduct. A crucial component of learning martial arts is becoming conscious of these influences and how they affect both oneself and society.
Learning to be aware of these influences and their impact on society as well as oneself is an important part of learning martial arts and getting to know oneself. These arts were created to aid in the learning process and to assist practitioners in becoming better individuals.
