In my study, I attempt to present a diverse set of requirements through which a valuable person may be characterized for a professional army in the long term, with the use of a scientific description of the concept of human talent.
In the second half of the article, I explain in detail the personality-, character- and abil-ity-shaping effects of martial arts. Following the psychosocial development process introduced by Erikson I analyse the specific life-course model provided by Japanese martial arts, which focuses on the lifelong exercise of budō.
