1. The title will probably be something like, The Do Spirit & Bushido in Martial Arts. So my paper will be about Martial Arts in Japan and how the Fighting Spirit and Bushido mindsets of the Japanese people play into it.
2. Bushido (Way of the Warrior) and the Do Spirit (Fighting Spirit) of Japan. I chose these because Bushido being the way of the warrior seems like it would play a part in the study of Martial Arts. The Do Spirit because the mindset to always push forward and work seems like a crucial mindset to have when studying Martial Arts.

This site talks about the Fighting or Do Spirit of Japan and relates some citation connecting it to Martial Arts. "Boxing and similar pastimes were seen by many people as a way of inculcating admirable values...".

I also found a book, that may or may not get transferred to Akron's library in time. If it does, I will be using it.
"Bushido refers not only to martial rectitude, but to personal rectitude". This site talks about the Bushido code and lists the 8 virtues of the samurai. I thought this source would be good to find some of these 8 virtues and tie them to the mindset of Martial Artists.
