Developing a Modern-Day Samurai: A Canadian Perspective includes seven chapters that offers a meaningful exploration of the role of martial values in the teaching and practice of Canadian karate-do, reviewing literature that deals with the transmission of values as they relate to physical education, to sport, and specifically to martial arts and karate. As the need for parents, coaches, and sensei to collaborate with one another is paramount, the author of this book explored the conduits through which the transmission of values from the parents, the coaches, and ultimately the sensei to the athlete takes place. It is the hope of the author that, as the reader engages with the text, they will come to appreciate karate-do not merely as a system of physical training, but as a school of life.
