Download or read book Bunburyodo written by G Seizan Breyette and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-17 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in English, the concepts and philosophies that drive the lifestyle and techniques of original pre-WW2 UechiRyu KarateDo are explained in a clear and easy-to-understand narrative manner. The few Japanese terms used in this book are defined simply and plainly. Esoteric terms and phrases are clarified in practical English to give the feeling of a friendly conversation rather than a stern pedagogical lecture.Without smugness or conceit, the author draws on experience, knowledge, and records gathered over more than four decades of living on Okinawa while training, teaching, and researching UechiRyu KarateDo. While he is swift to point out that he writes from a wholly "UechiRyu Zankai" perspective, his closeness and longtime relationship with direct students and associates of the founder of UechiRyu confers veracity on his writings of the system we know today as UechiRyu KarateDo, whether old or contemporary style.This is not a book that teaches karate technique, but one that opens the door to the concepts within the techniques that create the karate lifestyle.

Book Synopsis The Complete Kano Jiu-Jitsu (Judo) by : H. Irving Hancock
Download or read book The Complete Kano Jiu-Jitsu (Judo) written by H. Irving Hancock and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2016-01-16 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best guide to learning jiu-jitsu ever written in English, this is the most comprehensive study available. It describes the authentic form of judo developed in the late 19th century by Professor Jiguro Kano — not the many imitations often called by this name. Officially recognized by the Japanese government as the preeminent school of jiu-jitsu, the Kano system was the method in which Japanese armed forces and police were trained. The complete system of 160 holds and throws is clearly explained, with 487 photographs and four charts providing further clarification. Pressure points, balance, falling, and every other important aspect receives full and complete treatment. The first section presents 60 "tricks" of combat in strict sequence that prepare for part two, in which readers learn how to apply the advantages of the tricks they've learned. The third section deals with highly scientific tricks of combat, by which an opponent may be incapacitated — and the methods of kuatsu, or resuscitation, by which a fallen opponent may be revived. Martial arts students at every level of experience will find this classic guide a source of valuable information and instruction.

Download or read book Bubishi written by and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treasured for centuries by karate's top masters, the Bubishi is a classic Chinese work on philosophy, strategy, medicine, and technique as they relate to the martial arts. Referred to as the "bible of karate" by famous master Chojun Miyagi, for hundreds of years the Bubishiwas a secret text passed from master to student in China and later in Okinawa. All of karate's legendary masters have studied it, applied its teachings, or copied passages from it. No other classic work has had as dramatic an impact on the shaping and development of karate as the Bubishi. Karate historian and authority Patrick McCarthy spent over ten years researching and studying the Bubishi and the arts associated with it. The first English translation of this remarkable martial arts manual includes numerous explanations and notes. McCarthy's work also includes groundbreaking research on Okinawan and Chinese history, as well as the fighting and healing traditions that developed in those countries, making it a gold mine for researchers and practitioners alike. For the final word on the true origins and spirit of classic Okinawan martial arts, one need look no further. This karate book is one of the best karate training supplements available.

Book Synopsis Karate My Art by Motobu Choki by : Yuriko McCarthy
Download or read book Karate My Art by Motobu Choki written by Yuriko McCarthy and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At long last we are pleased to announce that the 3rd edition of the 1932 Motobu Choki publication, "Watashi no Karate-jutsu," is finally completed thanks only to the assistance and co-operation of many kind people. The publication is approximately 182 pages in the same size and format as our Funakoshi Gichin publication, Tanpenshu. Here, in this small but provocative publication, lies yet another milestone in the legacy of Karate. "Watashi no Karate-jutsu" ("My Art of Karate"), introduces comprehensive insights into a fighting tradition as known and taught by one of its early Okinawan innovators, Motobu Choki (1870-1944). One of only two books he ever published on the art it is not widely known in modern karate circles or outside the spectrum of those who research its history. Straightforward in its approach, this modest work outlines those unique methods that made Motobu Choki, pound for pound, possibly the greatest technician and karate fighter of his generation. One mistake the modern Karate-ka often makes, when trying to grasp the technical ambiguities surrounding the application of early karate practices, is to depend on contemporary assumption. This small but powerful book provides a window through which the reader is better able to perceive the cultural landscape and social mind-set of those people who shaped its practice. What could possibly improve a reader's overall understanding of the art more than walking in the footsteps of those people most responsible for pioneering it? Great people should never be forgotten, if only to remind us of the potential latent in ourselves. By studying the anthropology of this tradition it becomes evident that many of the early pioneers established a symbiosis with karate so that their lives became as much a product of the art as was the art a product of their lives.

Book Synopsis My Art and Skill of Karate by : Choki Motobu
Download or read book My Art and Skill of Karate written by Choki Motobu and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-26 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book "My Art and Skill of Karate" presents the technical knowledge and original accounts imparted by famed Okinawa karate master Motobu Chōki (1870-1944). This translation was created in close cooperation with the author's grandson, Motobu Naoki sensei. It also includes a congratulatory address by the author's son, Motobu Chōsei sensei, the current head of the school. Moreover, this year marks the 150th anniversary of Motobu Chōki's birth. In other words, three generations of the Motobu family were involved in this new translation, connecting the history and tradition of karate from the 19th to 21th century.In addition to accounts about old-time karate masters in Okinawa, the work features thirty-four photos of Motobu performing Naihanchi Shodan, including written descriptions. Moreover, it includes twenty kumite with pictures and descriptions as well as five pictures of how to use the makiwara.What makes it even more unique is that the existence of the book was unknown until the 1980s, when the wife of a deceased student sent the book to Motobu Chōki's son, Chōsei. Until today this edition remains the only known original edition in existence, and it provided the basis for this original translation. This work has to be considered one of the most important sources to assess and interpret karate.
