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.

    The good with the bad
    Color: Pattern Kah, Size: XX-Large
    Photos in listing depict a LINEN pant - in the close up's you can clearly see a linen/cotton like material. To my surprise, these pants are a silky, polyester material. There is NO stretch - I am glad I purchased a size larger than what I consider my " roomy " size. These style is also depicted as a beige and black color pattern, they are more of a light mauve color out of the packaging. Took a steamer to them to get the wrinkles out. Suitable for tall girls ( I am 5'9 ) and wearing them with 3 in wedge. They are cute - dressy enough for a business casual office setting or a date night. Probably not the best for hot humid weather as they are not breathable.

    Incredibly comfortable and perfect for summer!
    Color: Pattern Leopard, Size: X-Large, Color: Pattern Leopard, Size: X-Large
    I have to admit, I was a little skeptical about these pants at first. When I initially opened them, they didn’t feel like they had much stretch, and the fabric felt a bit cheap to the touch. However, once I actually put them on, my opinion completely changed! They are so incredibly comfortable and have a great, effortless drape. The material is lightweight and breathable, making them absolutely perfect for warm summer days. They are easy to style (looked great paired with a simple tank and a denim jacket!) and feel wonderful to move around in. I am so glad I gave them a chance—I would definitely purchase these again!

    Cute and comfortable
    Color: Pattern Leopard, Size: Medium
    Comfortable and cute. A little long but still wear them with no issues. The material is light but synthetic so not really breathable. I foresee wearing them often.

    Love these shirts
    Size: Small, Color: Watermelon, Number of Items: 1
    Love the fabric. They feel so much better than some of the other shirts I have. They’re thicker and just feel nicer. Love this color too. Got a small and also have another color in medium. Both fit, just depends on how casual I want to look. I’ll be getting more!

    Nice Quality for the Price
    Size: Large, Color: White, Number of Items: 1
    I ordered a large and it was a little too big. I washed and dried it and it didn't shrink too much. It's very soft and feels nice. For the price it's better quality than expected. I am planning to order a medium which should be the right size. The large fits my husband perfectly. F/5'11"/165lbs M/6'/170
