2015 . — 362 p . — ISBN 13: 978-1511946407 Gilles Lavigne Kyoshi has been practicing Karate since he was 13 years old . His forty-three continuous years of experience in the Martial Arts has given him a unique perspective on the basics and higher principles of Karate . These principles he shares have been taught to him by some celebrated and acclaimed Japanese , Canadian and American Masters . He currently holds an 8th Dan black belt in Karate Shotokan and is the founder and head of the Canadian Martial Arts Association . He also has a black belt in Chito Ryu style of Karate . Lavigne Kyoshi states that Karate-do is a catch phrase that describes a self-actualization process . He asserts that the Karate life consists of awakening consciousness or awareness at different stages in our lives on the Physical , Mental , and Spiritual dimensions . It has been his observation that self-actualization processes in the Martial Arts , Tai Ch i, Yoga and countless others far too many to mention , have been created to help followers gradually peel away at the different internal and external layers of their make-up to uncover his unique ‘Self’. The objective of this book as he points out is to guide karate-kas towards a continuous flow of awakening consciousness and awareness on all levels of their being . One must have clarity of perception in order to have pure intention . Pure intention is the guiding principle to live a virtuous and honorable life . The book is intended to be as kind of a road map , a guide along a trek and journey through a process of bringing together energies from all levels of our being to this focal point of pure intention in time and space . This process is called Kime .
