King Wu Once Buckled On His Armor: The Seven Virtues of Martial Arts (Ryukyu Bugei) (Volume 1)

Considered the primary source-text of old-style Okinawan martial arts, the â€œSeven Virtues of Martial Artsâ€ are admired for their straightforward advice. Handwritten in the late 19th century by Matsumura Sokon, the most celebrated ancestor of karate, they are considered the ethical fountain and technical key to understand what canâ€™t be seen. Matsumura himself pointed out that the â€œSeven Virtues of Martial Artsâ€ were praised by a wise man in an ancient manuscript, a manuscript that has remained obscure and undiscovered ever since. Now the source of this wondrous composition has been discovered and verified. Presented and explained here for the first time, it is not only the source of Matsumuraâ€™s â€œSeven Virtues of Martial Artsâ€. In fact: it is the original meaning of martial arts per se. This book includes the extremely rare photography of the original handwritten scroll, approved by the Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum as well as the owner of the scroll. It also shows the family crest of the Matsumura family, sporting the character of "Bu."
