Jūdō Ishinhō - 慰心法

I came across this paper about a fourth aim of Judo, beyond of the traditional three: taiikuhō (physical education method), shushinhō (morality method) and shōbuhō (attack and defense method). Very little information is available about this concept in English. The paper is in Japanese, only the abstract in English.

"The Introduction of the Concept of 'Ishinho' to Judo and the Thoughts of Kano Jigoro" by Shusaku KIRYU

Excellent find, thanks for posting.

The Japan Academy of Martial Arts has tons of great articles; the English synopses seldom do the articles justice. This one is good.
