In this volume Dr Webster-Doyle takes the reader to two different types of martial arts schools to demonstrate the difference between typical training programmes and what he calls, martial arts for peace. Webster-Doyle asserts that when children are introduced to the whole martial art they can learn to deal with threatening situations without resorting to violence.
This is a workbook for bullies and victims ages eight to fourteen. With sample dialogue and exercises, it teaches children to respect themselves and introduces them to a variety of threatening situations and how to resolve them nonviolently. It also includes notes to teachers on how to combine various lessons for the most effective teachings.
Inspirational stories for martial arts students presenting tests of wisdom involving attributes including honor, strength, humility, peaceful conflict resolution, and love. Each test contributes to character development.
Concerned with resolving conflict peacefully, this book is not a manual of self-defence techniques. Instead, it is an inquiry into the essence of all martial arts - the idea of the empty self. The book looks at the traditional principles of karate and offers insights into their original meaning.
This book will help teach young people such important values as courtesy, kindness, honesty, order, respect, and responsibility. It can also help parents, teachers, counselors, and school administrators who are looking for effective ways to help young people resolve conflict peacefully.
Can there be a profound learning that opens a child's mind to view the fundamental causes of conflict? Brave New Child: Education for the 21st Century is concerned with bringing about a psychological transformation in learning, awakening the capacity of intelligence that understands the destructive influences of psychological conditioning. Webster-Doyle explores a fundamentally different perspective in education that lays the foundation for a completely original way of learning and living.
The world is fragmented, divided and, hence, in conflict. My country versus your country, my religion versus your religion, my beliefs versus your beliefs. This fragmentary way of living is destroying us. Person against person, nation against nation--the world is being torn apart by conflict. What is the "root" of this conflict? Through inquiring into the nature and structure of conflict, can we come into direct contact with all that which prevents peace? "Peace, the Enemy of Freedom " does not offer solutions, methods, conclusions, or hopes about peace. It does not advocate any political, philosophical, economic, or religious reform to solve the problem of war. This book raises essential questions concerning what prevents peace and, by so doing, evokes insight into that which created conflict, individually and globally.
Are we driving ourselves crazy trying to be sane? Growing Up Sane is concerned with bringing about a sense of order and integrity in thinking and action through creating insight into what cultivates intelligent and ethical behavior. Webster-Doyle looks at our relationships and the social institutions we have produced that mold behavior to see what influence these structures have had on the development of the young person. Going beyond these structures, this book examines the Myth of the Individual, delving into the roots of our disorder to look at the fundamental source of conflict—the paradoxical "knot"—within the psyche itself. This book is not only for the parent or teacher concerned with the education of the young person, but is also for anyone seriously interested in understanding what it means to live a sane and intelligent life.
Can we bring about an ethical understanding, a mind that is virtuous, innocent, untouched by conventional moralistic thinking? The Religious Impulse is concerned with the development of ethical and responsible behavior. This book questions the traditional religious process of becoming good, and examines how this process paradoxically cultivates irresponsible and immoral behavior through the inculcation of conventional theological beliefs.
The martial arts code of conduct is a system of social skills conducive to living a life of peace and goodwill. Although it may seem rather odd to teach these together with the physical arts of self-defence, the code is, in fact, the foundation of all martial arts, the ultimate goal of which is to help prevent conflict. Cultivating these skills reduces the chance that young people will react out of fear to threatening situations, such as being bullied; combined with the confidence that comes from knowing how to protect themselves, the skills taught in this book can help young people understand and resolve conflict peacefully. A corollary, but equally important goal is helping both children and parents understand the difference between the often violent portrayal of martial arts in the popular media, and the true spirit of goals and martial arts practice.
