Preface

In my search for knowledge concerning the philosophical
and traditional aspects of the martial arts, I have come across a
wealth of printed material focusing on various techniques and
theory, but very little regarding the practical application of our
discipline in living daily life. This void is further compounded
when a practitioner enters the martial arts at an advanced age.
Many mature students to whom I’ve spoken share my desire to
find documentation to help them find a way to incorporate
dojang practices into daily activities. I recall reading a book during
an early phase of my training that did address these issues.
