This book presents a harmonized approach to three major martial
arts namely, karate, jiu-jitsu, and judo. The first part deals with
the philosophical aspect of life and looks at how balance should be
achieved between opposites such as soft and hard, hot and cold,
violence and non-violence, masculine and feminine, etc. (yin-yang)
which are found in nature, rather than adopting the modern tendency
which is to try to favour only one side of the equation to the
detriment of the other. It illustrates how martial arts can help us
develop "mastery" of these so-called opposites so as to live in
harmony with our spiritual being instead of ignoring it and
favouring the development of the ego, source of all our misery. The
second part of the book covers the basic technical aspect of gross
and fine motor skills and is addressed to advanced practitioners.
It stresses the need to keep an open mind with reference to
cultures and provides an extensive glossary (Japanese, English, and
French).
