Download or read book Jujutsu written by Mark Barlow and published by Fifth Estate Incorporated. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The confusion of combat arts with martial sports allowed Jujutsu to be superseded by Judo, Karate, and Tae Kwon Do in the public eye. Ironically, it is the current perception of Jujutsu as a sport that has returned it to the limelight. While many Jujutsu techniques are used in the mixed martial arts tournaments so popular over the last decade, the chokes and joint-locks seen in UFC and similar no-holds-barred fighting merely scratch the surface of traditional Jujutsu's wealth of knowledge.
Book Synopsis Legacies of the Sword by : Karl F. Friday
Download or read book Legacies of the Sword written by Karl F. Friday and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1997-07-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western scholars and educators are generally far less familiar with the samurai in his original-and, ostensibly, primary-role as warrior and masters of arms than in his other functions as landowner, feudal lord, literature, or philosopher. Yet, any attempt to comprehend fully the samurai without considering his military abilities and training (bugei) is futile. With verve and wit, Karl Friday combines the results of nearly two decades of fieldwork and archival research to examine samurai martial culture from a broad perspective: as a historical phenomenon, as a worldview, and as a system of physical, spiritual, and moral education.

Book Synopsis Lords of the Samurai by : Yoko Woodson
Download or read book Lords of the Samurai written by Yoko Woodson and published by Asian Art Museum . This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan's samurai were professional soldiers, but they could also be cultivated artists, writers and philosophers. "Samurai" means "he who serves," and these fierce warriors acted in the service of powerful feudal lords known as daimyo ("great name"). Among the most important daimyo families were members of the Hosokawa clan, whose lineage dates back some six hundred years. Lords of the Samurai brings to life the code of the samurai and the private and public lives of the daimyo by focusing on approximately 160 works from the Hosokawa family collection housed in the Eisei-Bunko Museum in Tokyo, the Kumamoto Castle and the Kumamoto Municipal Museum in Kyushu. Japanese historical objects discussed include suits of armor, armaments (including swords and guns), formal attire, calligraphy, paintings, tea ware, lacquer ware, masks, and musical instruments. To the daimyo, martial arts were not just a physical or military activity—they were part of a spiritual and ethical program that governed every aspect of their existence. Featuring an extended essay by Thomas Cleary, Lords of the Samurai lays bare the principles that governed the spirit of the samurai, enabling it to endure for hundreds of years and continue to resonate today.

This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading The samurai are among the most iconic warriors in history. The fighting elite of feudal Japan, they have played a dominant role in the country's life for over a thousand years. Even today, a century and a half after the rule of the samurai has formally ended, they remain a powerful symbol of martial might, and the embodiment of the stoic warrior. Like the knights who fought in Europe during the same era, the samurai were a feudal aristocracy. Militarily, politically, socially, and economically, they were the most powerful, the most influential, and the most privileged members of society. Though not all samurai were equal in power and status, they were almost always better off than the rest of Japanese society. The word samurai, meaning "those who serve," indicates the foundation upon which their power was built. As a feudal society, medieval Japan was shaped by a hierarchy of land ownership and its associated obligations. Most samurai held their land for a more senior overlord, to whom they owed military service. That overlord owed service to his overlord, and so on up the hierarchy, which allowed the most powerful lords to raise great armies. A proud and dominant force, the collective dominance of the samurai arose from a dedication to service. Such service also created the opportunity for revolt, as a lord with enough loyal followers might try to usurp his master, and battles for land and power between competing samurai factions dominated Japanese history for centuries as a result. The wealth of the samurai not only led to their role as leaders but as a hard-hitting military elite as well, mostly because they could afford the armor, weapons, and horses that gave them an edge in battle. Supported by the labor of the people who lived on their lands, they were also able to spare the time to train for war, something for which young men of the samurai class were prepared from an early age. The Samurai: The History and Legacy of Japan's Military Elite looks at who the samurai were, how they fought, and the historical wars in which they played a leading part. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the samurai like never before.

At the heart of this movement where three grandmasters: Jigoro Kano (judo) Morihei Ueshiba (aikido) and Gichin Funakoshi (karate). Besides a common vision, a passion for martial arts and their exceptional skills, they shared another common point: their dedicated student Minoru Mochizuki. Having mastered a great variety of disciplines, Minoru Mochizuki started to teach his vision on budo in his Yoseikan dojo which he founded in 1931. In 1951 he went to France to introduce Aikido and had a huge role in the spread of judo, ju-jutsu, kobudo, iaido and karate.
