Forge the mind. Strengthen the spirit. Transform the martial artist within.
Seishin Shuyō—the cultivation of mind and spirit—is the cornerstone of all traditional Japanese martial arts. While technique and physical conditioning shape the fighter, it is mental discipline that shapes the warrior.

In this newly updated edition, author and master instructor Jimmy Lockett reveals the timeless internal practices that elevate training beyond technique into a lifelong path of focus, resilience, and self-mastery.

Drawing from decades of experience in Karate, Jujutsu, Judo, and traditional budō philosophy, this book guides you through the essential mental skills that define true martial excellence. You will learn how to train breath control, concentration, emotional stability, visualization, intuition, strategy, meditation, and the deeper qualities of persevering, fighting, and winning spirit.

Whether you are a beginner, instructor, or long-term martial artist, Seishin Shuyō offers clear principles and practical methods to strengthen your mind both inside and outside the dojo.

Inside You Will Learn:

• How to develop powerful concentration and unwavering focus
• The role of breath, posture, and inner awareness in martial efficiency
• Techniques of visualization that improve timing, confidence, and performance
• Methods for managing fear, anger, frustration, and internal conflict
• How to cultivate mushin (no-mind) and the clarity needed for decisive action
• The mental habits behind perseverance, grit, and warrior spirit
• Why true victory is achieved long before the moment of conflict

Rich with practical guidance and philosophical depth, Seishin Shuyō is a roadmap for anyone seeking to strengthen the mind, refine the spirit, and walk the true path of martial training.

Strength begins within. This is where the journey starts.
