Abstract

Implantation and spread of Japanese martial arts in the West supposed the importation of social-cultural and private practices of the premises of their context of origin. How to face up to these practices alien to our cultural identity? A strict interpretation requires they have to be understood as body practices with a cultural idiosyncrasy and characterized by incorporating a living experience in which the body has a prominent place. Their teaching and learning are set through a triangular system consisted of a spiritual essence, a technical way and a physical structure (shin-gi-tai) which is inserted in a singular process (shu-ha-ri).
