Dr. Alex Sternberg, a longtime karate practitioner, has just written a new book discussing what he calls "the holistic aspects of martial arts." It is titled "Open Your Heart with Martial Arts".
In a news release, Dr. Sternberg criticizes the prevailing culture in the mixed martial arts.
"Legitimate martial arts aim to develop the spirit of their practitioners and provide opportunities to learn lessons applicable for life. The UFC, on the other hand, caters to an audience that is filled with blood lust and relishes violence," states Dr. Sternberg. "As a role model, I am not sure that I would want my son to look up to individuals who resemble escapees from the local maximum-security prisons."
Here is the entire news release, including more information on his book:
