If you are going to practice karate in Japan this video highlights some dojos in Japan including Shotokan, Kyokushin, Goju-ryu and Shito-ryu in Japan. It discusses, from an American point of view, what it is like to visit and practice karate in Japan at clubs located in Tokyo, Kansai, and Okinawa regions of Japan.  Dr. Jason Armstrong (6th Dan) spent extended periods of time in Japan between 1995 and 2002 and his stay included being a live in student of a Master (an "uchi deshi"). This video will describe what dojos, sensei and students are like in a variety of Japanese training environments in Japan. The video contrasts Karate in Japan as an environment compared to the USA and Australia (where Dr. Armstrong has other karate clubs). Karate styles that were visited in Japan included Shito-Ryu, Shotokan, Kyokushin and Goju in Okinawa. Video footage is also included of Sensei Armstrong's Western Students visiting Japan to perform a black belt test
                                         (Shodan).

Sun Tzu's "Art of War" for Business 

Total video time of full course approx. 1hr 30 mins.

Appying the Art of War to business is often talked about but what does it really mean? Often business strategists do not consider the Art of War for business applications, despite the fact that it is recognized as the most comprehensive text on strategy. Applied Zen's approach of applying the Art of War to business includes the ettiquette and networking side of relationships using strategies from the Art of War and Zen. Additionally, the classic text "Tao de Ching" is applied to the Art of War and business to emphasize that change is inevitable. Fast response to change through efficiency and strategy is stressed in Sun Tzu's Art of War and the correlations between the Art of War and business are extremely strong. Zen and business is innately built into Sun Tzu's Art of War text, however, it can be further expanded when one considers that Zen relates to understanding oneself in detail. Therefore, when combined with the Art of War, Zen and business leads to an insightful approach to business S.W.O.T. Additionally Zen and business tie together due
                                          to the need for clear high level decision making in a dynamic
                                          environment.
