"The brevity arises from the terse conciseness of the style, owing mainly to the absence of the embellishment of particles, which forms so striking a peculiarity in the composition of Mencius and Kwang-tze."
This introduction to the texts of taoism with particularity toward the "Tao-te-ching" is to karate-do where studies of Ancient Chinese Classics equal the way to a better self.
Much like I Ching and Tao-te-ching; the ken-po goku-i is a brief terse and concise style with all the embellishments removed to form a striking prose meant to open the mind and heart to achieve a "wholehearted" ability though the practice and study of karate-do. This warrants comments and views as to how Tao and karate-do mesh and teach. It has connectivity as other ancient texts to the goku-i and by endeavor that of karate-do.
The posts that will follow are my views as to the connectivity of Tao, Taoism, I Ching, Ken-po Goku-i, etc. to the practice of karate in the Way.
