Confronted by limitations of effectiveness,
the martial arts of the West responded with a continuous crafting of superior
equipment. Confronted with similar limitations, the Asian warrior responded by
fashioning a better self. The warrior turned not to technology in making his
sword a better tool for fighting. Influenced by contemplative aspects of Taoism
and Buddhism and by the self-discipline of Confucianism, he turned inward. He
fine-tuned his body and mind in order to better manipulate his sword.
