The techniques, methods, and rituals of budo can provide invaluable lessons for today's martial artists—and serve as guides to a well-lived life.  In Traditions, Dave Lowry discusses unique aspects of budo ranging from hacho, or deliberate asymmetry, to uke-waza, the art of \"receiving\" an attack. The spirit of ryomi, the process of self-evaluation and improvement, is illustrated through the story of Kaofujita, a master swordsman who never stopped practicing the first movement he learned. You'll also learn the importance of yuyo, the distance where an attacker must focus his strike, from the story of Jubei, whose mastery of yuyo saved him in a life-and-death encounter, and the significance of shikaku, the dead zone, on maintaining balance in combat and in life.  With its focus on traditional Japanese martial arts and fascinating stories that illustrate key principles and martial arts philosophy,Traditions will be required reading for serious martial artists.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49579250581777,"sku":"GOR013669808","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007651348753,"sku":"NIN9780804849012","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51273721217297,"sku":"CIN0804849013VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53115612889361,"sku":"CIN0804849013G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804849013.jpg?v=1750979904"},{"product_id":"grandma-panda-s-china-storybook-book-mingmei-yip-9780804849746","title":"Grandma Panda's China Storybook","description":"With classic Chinese fairytales and folk stories, Grandma Panda's China Storybook introduces children to Chinese culture in a fun, adventurous way!","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49583340618001,"sku":"GOR013617733","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50367157928209,"sku":"CIN0804849749G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007457624337,"sku":"NIN9780804849746","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804849749.jpg?v=1751011637"},{"product_id":"debbie-brown-s-magical-cakes-book-debbie-brown-9780804851664","title":"Debbie Brown's Magical Cakes","description":"Welcome to the fabulous, mysterious world of Debbie Brown's Magical Cakes, with its witches, wizards, gnomes, dwarfs, trolls, sprites and goblins.

A home cook at heart, Pat's recipes are very straightforward without lots of exotic ingredients or specialized tools. They are also easy and quick to prepare. She shows you how adding a few Asian fermented and pickled vegan products like miso or pickled greens will add a new universe of flavors to your cooking. The same is true for flavor-enhancers like fried shallots, crispy fried garlic and the flavored oils that Asian chefs and restaurants use on a regular basis.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746417484049,"sku":"NGR9780804857581","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007785337105,"sku":"NIN9780804857581","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/080485758X.jpg?v=1751362702"},{"product_id":"new-japan-architecture-book-geeta-mehta-9780804857192","title":"New Japan Architecture","description":"Featuring dozens of high-quality photographs, schematic designs and insightful commentary this Japanese architecture book is a must-have for architects or collectors.

From the time the first Christian missionary arrived in Japan in 1549 to when a nationwide ban was issued in 1614, over 300,000 Japanese were converted to Christianity.  A vicious campaign of persecution forced the faithful to go underground. For seven generations, Hidden Christians—or Kirishitan—preserved a faith that was strictly forbidden on pain of death. Illiterate peasants handed down the Catholicism that had been taught to their ancestors despite having no Bible or contact with the outside world.  Just as remarkably, descendants of the Hidden Christians continue to this day to practice their own religion, refusing to rejoin the Catholic Church. Why? And what is it about Christianity that is so antagonistic to Japanese culture?  In Search of Japan's Hidden Christians is an attempt to answer these questions. A journey in both space and  time, In Search of Japan's Hidden Christians recounts a clash of civilizations—of East and West—that resonates to this day and offers insights about  the tenacity of belief and unchanging aspects of Japanese culture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007505760529,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007508185361,"sku":"NIN9780804855938","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804855935.jpg?v=1751201279"},{"product_id":"origami-paper-kaleidoscope-patterns-6-96-sheets-book-tuttle-studio-9780804856430","title":"Origami Paper - Kaleidoscope Patterns - 6 - 96 Sheets","description":"This pack contains 96 high-quality origami sheets printed with 8 colorfully wild kaleidoscope patterns.

Wang is an 18th generation transmitter of Dragon Gate Taoism. This book tells the true story of his apprenticeship in Taoist wizardry, as well as the specialized body of knowledge, mystical wisdom and ritualized practice accumulated and refined over eleven centuries.  His story begins with a seemingly chance encounter with three Taoist elders when he was a young boy. What follows is a philosophical quest in a coming-of-age tale like no other, playing out in mountainside temples and remote reaches of China. Wang's story parallels that of the Dalai Lama, as—like Tibetan Buddhists—Dragon Gate Taoists identify, raise and train specially chosen youngsters to become the holders, guardians and transmitters of their ancient, esoteric spiritual wisdom.  While few of us will become spiritual gurus like Wang, his story speaks clearly and concisely to modern readers who are on their own \"chosen paths,\" seeking their own forms of self-cultivation, enlightenment, wisdom and a life of greater harmony and truth.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007541969169,"sku":"NIN9780804857901","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52111192719633,"sku":"NGR9780804857901","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52500447199505,"sku":"GOR014541580","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53374861607185,"sku":"GOR014886099","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804857903.jpg?v=1751421292"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/tuttle-specials-book-series.oembed?page=6","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
