Description

Martial arts schools in the modern era have their teachings rooted deeply in Eastern thought and ideology. While all styles of Eastern martial arts have underlying influences rooted in a Buddhist, Confucian and Taoist thought, Japanese martial arts in particular have unified their ethical system into what is known as “Bushido” or “Way of the Warrior.” In their practice, martial arts practitioners have a sub culture of their own where through following rigorous training routines and a mindset dedicated to self-discipline and resolve, they are able to reach high levels of athleticism and accomplish great feats simply for the sake to be able to pass down their knowledge and training to future generations. Through the study of Bushido as an ethical system we can gain great insight into the mindset of martial artists and understand the philosophy that drives them.

I really enjoyed this course. I have been interested in Bushido since I was a child, so I thought that this would be both a fun and an enlightening course to take. I like that the course was interactive, with mini quizzes and reflective assignments to help aid learning along the way. I also like how the course went into detail about Japan and its history in context to Bushido. It was great that the instructor took time to reply to my assignments too. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in bushido, both novice and veteran, and is interested in learning about how it can apply to modern life.
