註釋
Through the lenses of Shotokan Karate and biomedicine, sensei and biomedical scientist Alex W. Tong shows readers how body, mind, and spirit can be developed through martial arts practice.
Through the practice of martial arts, a person can realize their full potential--not only in body, but in mind and spirit.
The Science and Philosophy of Martial Arts
shows readers how. Author, sensei, and biomedical scientist Alex W. Tong delves into the physical, mental, and spiritual components of martial arts and integrates contemporary sports psychology, kinesiology, and neuroscience into a nuanced and illuminating understanding of what martial arts practice can be.
Structured into three sections, Tong discusses:
The Mind: The dao of martial arts, mental tranquility, contemporary neuroscience, and warming up the brain
The Body: Posture and stance, breathing in martial arts, and the physics of mastery and effort
The Spirit: Soul, spirit, and moving zen; nature and manifestations of the spirit
Each section includes observations on martial arts origins, physiology, and tangible results on martial arts training. Blending traditional and contemporary approaches, knowledge, and research,
The Science and Philosophy of Martial Arts
builds a vision of practice that elevates physical performance, awareness, decisiveness, and strength of spirit.
