Art of Living and Spirituality

Martial arts is a way to master one's life. It can support personal development, help to discover courage and determination in oneself, but also self-control and a sense of responsibility. In the not accidental connection with Zen and meditation, the transitions to spirituality are fluid. Our books by renowned authors and martial arts practitioners go into depth, ask important questions and sometimes even give answers - often in a touching, sometimes in a humorous way.

We are looking forward to your comments and wishes!
