Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extreme Martial Arts: Reference Guide To The World's Fighting Arts Volume 2; "A to B" is the 2nd of a multi-volume set of encyclopedias from A to Z and can be considered the Encyclopedia Britannica of martial arts encyclopedias as it is literally the world's most extensive encyclopedia devoted to anything martial-arts-related. All the information in the series of books has been cross-referenced and checked multiple times with most of the information coming from key figures, historians, Masters, and Grandmasters of the martial arts in order to ensure credibility and truthfulness, of which I provide not only a list of recourses for you, the reader, to be able to check, but also the contact info of many of those who supplied the information. The book(s) are intended to serve as a general reference tool for anyone interested in the martial arts of the world, its history, stories, and legends, along with translations and explanations of martial-related terms. The book(s) cover 1000s of fighting styles of the world (with this one having information on 110 styles out of the 347 topics covered), with a chart devoted to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean pronunciation; sections about the martial history of various countries; information about key figures of the martial arts; information about key events in martial art history; various things (kata/forms, techniques, etc.) that is related to martial arts training; and much, much more. Including illustrations from yours truly, amazing photos that have been taken by me and/or provided and given to me by others, and a bit about myself. It is my love, respect, and admiration for the martial arts that has inspired me to write this multi-volume book series, in the hopes that you, the reader, enjoy learning the facts and history as much as I did; and maybe, inspire you to take a wonderful journey in the martial arts training of your choice. Thank you and God Bless.

Book Synopsis The Future of Post-Human Martial Arts by : Peter Baofu
Download or read book The Future of Post-Human Martial Arts written by Peter Baofu and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10-02 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it really true that martial arts, in spite of their popularity in this day and age of ours, have, at their deepest level, the promised land of “self-knowledge,” “the expression of beauty,” or something highly spiritual to be pursued for the human soul? Or, to put it in a different way, what exactly makes martial arts so amazing that, somehow, they will eventually lead the practitioners to the spiritual realm of self-cultivation in its highest depth? Contrary to the conventional wisdom about martial arts as held by many over the ages, this popular view about martial arts has become so legendary that their dark sides have yet to be systematically explored and that the lofty aims of martial arts are neither possible nor desirable to the extent that their proponents would like us to believe. Of course, this is not to say that the very tradition of martial arts is absolutely useless, or that the literature on martial arts hitherto existing in history is spiritually unworthy to be appreciated. Instead, this book constructively offers an alternative (better) way to understand the nature of martial arts, in special relation to the body and spirit of warriors—while learning from different views in the literature, without favoring any one of them (nor integrating them, as they are not necessarily compatible with each other), and, in the end, transcending them towards a new horizon not conceived before. This seminal view, if proven valid, will fundamentally change the legendary way that people have thought about martial arts—from the combined perspectives of the mind, nature, society, and culture, with enormous implications for the human future and what I originally called its “post-human” fate. _____________________
