The study of budo, or Japanese martial arts for self-cultivation,
is a lifelong path toward achieving perfect balance in body, mind,
and spirit. Here, Dave Lowry, who has pursued that path for over
forty years, addresses the myriad issues, vagaries, and
inconsistencies that arise for students of karate-do, judo, kendo,
aikido, iaido and other Japanese martial arts--classical and
modern--as their training develops, including:
- What students and teachers should expect from each other
- The meaning of rank
- The importance of cardiovascular fitness in the martial arts
- How to correctly and sensitively practice with someone less
experienced than yourself
- How to practice as you age
- The responsibilities that come with seniority and increasing
skill
- The importance of etiquette and decorum in budo
- How to train with children
Lowry also gives practical advice on improving structural
integrity in posture and movement; focusing under stress; stances
and preparatory actions before engaging with an opponent; and
telling a good teacher from a bad one. Both beginning and advanced
students of Japanese martial arts will appreciate Lowry's take on
the real issues and experiences that they encounter in
practice.
