About
the Book
The first book on the hows and whys of martial arts practice
written especially for children.
More than four million children study some form of martial
arts in North America.
Explains the respectful, nonviolent discipline fundamental
to all martial arts.
Shows young readers what to expect when they study a martial
art--from beginner to Black Belt.
The
Peaceful Way
makes it clear that martial arts are not about fighting,
rather they are about resolving conflict in life. The key
word in the practice of martial arts is respect&emdash;for
teachers, others, and self. By cultivating a positive
attitude of humility, honesty, awareness, and discipline,
the martial arts student gains both physical and mental
focus.
In
clear, simple language the authors lead young readers into
the world of martial arts. From the leaving of shoes at the
door of the dojo to the mastery of black-belt skills, they
emphasize that a cooperative spirit is the key to success in
any martial art. Each point is beautifully illustrated with
graphics, sidebars, and anecdotes to hold the young reader's
attention. Furthermore, its glossary and references for
additional exploration make it the perfect educational tool
for the young martial artist and a powerful resource for
librarians, parents, teachers, and martial arts
educators.
