摘要
Providing an overview of historical and philosophical foundations of karate, and outlining the therapeutic properties inherent in this martial art, this article explores parallels between and examples of the integration of Kyokushin karate into individual and group counselling. Apart from fostering physical fitness, the philosophical foundations of karate facilitate an active dialogue between the mind and the body. The parallels between the goals of martial arts and counselling indicate a good basis for considering the value of incorporating karate into psychological interventions. It is suggested that by contributing to a profound integration of bodily awareness, which furthers the practitioner's overall mental unification and enhances harmony, karate possesses potent therapeutic potential.
