{"title":"Shintaido Books","description":"\u003cp\u003eShintaido \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(新体道)\u003c\/span\u003e is a modern Japanese martial art and movement practice that emphasizes self-expression, spiritual development, and holistic well-being. Combining elements of traditional Japanese martial arts, dance, and mindfulness, Shintaido offers practitioners a unique path to physical fitness, personal growth, and inner harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of Shintaido can be traced back to the 1960s in Japan, where it was developed by Hiroyuki Aoki, a martial artist and disciple of Kenichi Sawai, founder of the Japanese martial art art of Karate-do Shingi Tai. Aoki sought to create a martial art that transcended the limitations of traditional martial arts, incorporating elements of dance, meditation, and artistic expression into a comprehensive system of physical and spiritual development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing inspiration from the principles of Japanese Zen Buddhism and the natural movements of the human body, Shintaido was born out of a desire to cultivate harmony between mind, body, and spirit. The name \"Shintaido\" itself reflects this philosophy, with \"Shin\" meaning \"new\" or \"fresh,\" and \"Taido\" meaning \"way\" or \"path.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShintaido training encompasses a wide range of techniques and practices, including dynamic movements, meditation, breathing exercises, and partner drills. Practitioners learn to move with fluidity and grace, exploring the full range of motion of the body and developing awareness of their inner and outer environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the distinguishing features of Shintaido is its emphasis on creativity and self-expression. Through movement and meditation, practitioners are encouraged to tap into their innate creativity and express themselves freely, exploring new possibilities and pushing the boundaries of their physical and spiritual potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the decades since its inception, Shintaido has spread beyond Japan to countries around the world, with practitioners of all ages and backgrounds embracing its philosophy and training methods. Shintaido's emphasis on inclusivity, community, and personal growth has made it accessible to people from all walks of life, fostering a global network of like-minded individuals united by a shared passion for movement and self-discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Shintaido continues to evolve and adapt to meet the needs of modern society, with practitioners exploring new applications and interpretations of its principles in areas such as healthcare, education, and personal development. Whether practiced for physical fitness, stress relief, or spiritual growth, Shintaido offers a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment for those willing to embark on the path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur store offers a curated selection of instructional books on Shintaido that cover a wide range of topics, including technique breakdowns, meditation practices, philosophy, and history. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to Shintaido, our books provide invaluable insights and practical guidance to help you explore the principles and possibilities of this dynamic and transformative martial art and movement practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cutting-the-blue-sky-shintaido-of-america-25-years-1976-2001-book-preowned","title":"Cutting the Blue Sky: Shintaido of America 25 Years: 1976-2001 Book (Preowned)","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eContents: \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoots of Shintaido\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCulture Clashes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpiritual Development\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTaking Shintaido into the World\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWords of Wisdom from Ito\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGlossary of Japanese Terms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e158 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Preowned","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31933188964395,"sku":"PB2083","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/2521\/products\/ScreenShot2020-08-10at8.00.17PM.png?v=1597359460"},{"product_id":"total-stick-fighting-shintaido-bojutsu-book-by-hiroyuki-aoki-preowned","title":"Total Stick Fighting: Shintaido Bojutsu Book by Hiroyuki Aoki (Preowned)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThis systematic treatise on stick fighting is written by the founder of Shintaido, Hiroyuki Aoki.

Beyond functioning as a practical martial art, Shintaido strives to be an art form, a form of healthy exercise, and a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

The tradition was budo, the traditional martial arts of Japan.

At its heart is the raw material of history – it brings together the oral testimony of 19 Rakutenkai members who describe in their own words how they came to join, what they were seeking and what they found. But this is supported, and given meaning, by the more academic commentary of sociologist and shintaido instructor Pierre Quettier, who carefully places their testimony in the contexts of the Japanese martial and other arts, and of the youth culture – in Japan and around the world - of the time, which had many similarly grand ambitions to change the world, though taking a different path up the mountain. He also offers a personal, honest, and sometimes painful account of the process of meeting the contributors and assembling the texts. As a social scientist who takes the name of that discipline seriously, he sticks closely to the evidence he has collected, declining to conjecture or judge, and refusing to repeat myths unless they can be grounded in fact. In the introduction, he explains the physically and emotionally arduous – and extended – process of preparing this work.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuote from the article \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eLife, Burn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e by Aoki Sensei, founder of shintaido\u003cbr\u003e\"To catch sight of something which has always existed somewhere from earliest times without ever being seen by our two eyes and to express this something with our own body.
