About this listen
"Mind Over Muscle: Writings from the Founder of Judo" by Jigoro Kano offers a profound exploration of the philosophy, principles, and educational values behind Judo, one of Japan's most renowned martial arts. This collection of essays and lectures reveals Kano’s vision of Judo as a discipline that goes beyond physical techniques, promoting moral and intellectual development for personal and societal benefit.
Kano discusses key principles such as "Seiryoku Zenyo" (maximum efficiency with minimum effort) and "Jita Kyoei" (mutual welfare and benefit), emphasizing the importance of continuous self-improvement and mutual respect in all aspects of life.
More than a martial art, Judo is presented as a way of life—a tool for building character, fostering resilience, and contributing to social harmony. This book is essential listening for martial artists, educators, and anyone interested in understanding how traditional practices can inspire modern personal growth and ethical living.
