Description

Ellis Amdur's in-depth study of esoteric power training within Japanese martial traditions offers a unique perspective on the development of human strength and physical culture. This second edition explores the complexity of human adaptation, the nature of physical culture pursued for martial ends, and the transfer of esoteric power training from China to various Japanese jujutsu systems.

A key aspect of Amdur's research is the discussion of 'six connections' or 'internal strength,' a specific methodology that has been largely overlooked in Western martial arts literature. The author delves into the history and development of this technique, shedding light on its significance within Japanese swordsman-ship emanating from the Kurama traditions.

With a focus on esoteric power training methods such as mental imagery, breath-work, and physical techniques, Amdur provides a comprehensive understanding of the subject. This second edition is significantly expanded upon the first, offering a wealth of information for those interested in Japanese martial arts and their underlying philosophies.
