| Research Abstract |
The ethnoscience body theory of the Asian martial arts teaches us that the human connects with cosmos mysticismly. This notion began originally in the Mesopotamian old civilization's cosmology, and is common in Asia. However, in East Asia, especially in Japan, Buddhism and Taoism gave the martial arts a new and special form of the body theory where the religious enlightenment worked as a realizer of the killing techniques.
