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.

    great tiny corner shelves
    Color: Black, Size: 10.5" x 10.5", Set of 2
    Definitely not a very strong shelf. Easy to put up, no missing parts and the material was just as it looks on the picture. They give you the right dimensions but you can put about a box of tissues on it that how big they are. The weight of them is very light.

    cute and easy to install
    Color: Brown, Size: 10.5" x 10.5", Set of 2
    I needed a little shelf to put a plant in a corner and these were perfect. Super easy to install and worked fine even though it turns out my corners aren't perfectly square. Everything you need to hang the shelf is included. Once on the wall it is sturdy and doesn't wiggle. Perfect size for what I needed. The variation in the color makes it seem like higher end wood.
