More about the book
Focusing on the training of martial artists, this book delves into the perceptual shifts in both physical posture and mental attitude that occur during practice. It distinguishes between various types of combat encounters—class practice fights, tournament fights, and theatrical fights—analyzing their differing levels of violence and aggression. The text also explores the ethical and moral dimensions of martial arts, questioning whether practitioners develop a full understanding of these aspects alongside their physical skills. Additionally, it examines the influence of teachers on instilling ethical values in students.
