Jamie Clubb explores the link between martial arts and self-help

In this very interesting and well written article, Jamie Clubb explores the link between martial arts and self-help. Personally, I'm a great believer in martial arts as a vehicle for personal challenge and development. The idea of martial arts developing character is centuries old, but what is the basis for that link? And what of the modern influences discussed in this article? Jamie Clubb discusses, in great depth, how the western self help movement has impacted upon the martial arts. I'm certain this article will spark much discussion and reflection. All that we do in the martial arts should be discussed openly and thoroughly. That way, whatever position we personally take, all our choices will be informed choices. A great article that will spark discussion: http://clubbchimera.com/content/new-martial-arts-mystique-martial-arts-s...
