Karate – The Art of Empty Self: A Journey to Inner Peace & Awareness

Karate – The Art of Empty Self offers a profound exploration of karate as more than a physical discipline—it’s a path to understanding and resolving inner conflict. This downloadable book guides readers on a journey through the essence of karate where the practice becomes a mirror that reflects the root of fear and division within ourselves.

Dr. Terrence Webster-Doyle reveals that the true conflict lies in the psychological divisions we create which is often based on the image we have of ourselves. These internal divisions are the source of much of our fear, tension, and aggression. Through the practice of karate, students can bring these hidden conflicts into awareness without the need to change or suppress them—this is the heart of the “empty self.”
