blerb on the dust jacket: “The phenomenal development in popularity of martial arts throughout the world in recent years has resulted in the appearance of an astonishing number of periodicals and books, films, schools, and competitions on the topic.
With few exceptions, they all focus on the “how-to” components rather than the spiritual grounding.
Herman Kauz’s examination of THE MARTIAL SPIRIT is the first book to go beyond the usual viewpoint of physical training and self-defense; Kauz focuses on mental training as well as psychological and philosophical factors.
He demonstrates the East-West interdependence that few people grasp, even those who are physically competent in the martial arts world.
THE MARTIAL SPIRIT examines several martial arts systems and illustrates how trainees physically and spiritually gain abilities on their own and later with a partner, accompanied by Tetsu Okuhara’s stunning photography.
One chapter discusses philosophical principles and their significance and use in training, while another discusses the mind-body issues that arise at the start of student engagement.
The student-teacher interaction and spiritual dimensions are always present in THE MARTIAL SPIRIT.
This thorough and inspiring work demonstrates how serious martial arts study and training may produce greater physical and mental health, develop self-understanding, raise others’ education, and contribute to a sense of personal value.
HERMAN KAUZ holds a fourth-degree judo black belt and a second-degree karate black belt.
He has been teaching for almost 25 years and is the author of the best-selling Tai Chi Handbook.”
