Recommended reading for the martial arts. This is my personal library list. I practice Okinawan Te or "Ryukyu Ti." My system is derived from two others, one being the main influence of Shorin-ryu and the second Goju-ryu. The branch under Shorin-ryu is Isshin-ryu as developed by Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei.

I wanted to create a library reference blog where I can provide a listing of the books I have in my library, present and past (past in that some have been lost in transit over the years). I will provide a graphic, if available, a short description, if available, and the bibliography. When possible a link to Amazon will be provided.

The Brain and Emotional Intelligence

Bibliography:
Coleman, Daniel. “The Brain and Emotional Intelligence: New Insights.” More Than Sound LLC, Northhampton MA. 2011.

Review: Who would have said that learning about the brain as it applies to emotional intelligence would be so beneficial to teaching, learning, practicing and living the discipline of karate and martial arts especially toward its mastery for self-defense. As with his book on Emotional Intelligence the author connects so much of importance toward self-mastery - that includes the self-master of the discipline. 

His enlightenment of how our brains work is laid out in a manner that all laypersons can understand what works in that lump of gray matter we call our brains. This book will enhance any teachers ability to understand the mind and therefore create more effective teaching models that will help any practitioner to understand a very complex discipline. So worth the costs and effort to read - get yours now.
