Jawaharlal Nehru saw `culture` as the ability to understand the other person`s point of view. So far as rituals & traditions go, such understanding should recall ages bygone, recapture memories preserved & comprehend practices handed down the generations. Why were certain rituals prescribed & practiced, how traditions were born & nurtured, why do they not survive wholly today, if at all
- these are queries that are answered in this book. The world has become a global village. However, our own villages where rituals & traditions originated & were initially practiced (and from where they were handed down) have withered or are withering away, if only from this perspective. Reassuringly though, interest is reviving even in our brethren living abroad as well as in our towns & cities; all of a sudden they seek their `roots`, &, more importantly, are frenetic in their wish that their own young ones get reconnected to their ancestors` land & its mores. This book may satisfy their curiosity.

The goals of budo--the martial arts & ways of Japan--lie in refining the body & spirit. The techniques, methods, & rituals of budo can provide invaluable lessons for today`s martial artists--and serve as guides to a well-lived life. In Traditions, Davy 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 & 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-&-death encounter, & the significance of shikaku, the dead zone, on maintaining balance in combat & in life. With its focus on traditional Japanese martial arts, & fascinating stories that illustrate key principles & martial arts philosophy, Traditions will be required reading for serious martial artists. ...
