Book Synopsis Martial Arts Studies by : Paul Bowman
Download or read book Martial Arts Studies written by Paul Bowman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase “martial arts studies” is increasingly circulating as a term to describe a new field of interest. But many academic fields including history, philosophy, anthropology, and Area studies already engage with martial arts in their own particular way. Therefore, is there really such a thing as a unique field of martial arts studies? Martial Arts Studies is the first book to engage directly with these questions. It assesses the multiplicity and heterogeneity of possible approaches to martial arts studies, exploring orientations and limitations of existing approaches. It makes a case for constructing the field of martial arts studies in terms of key coordinates from post-structuralism, cultural studies, media studies, and post-colonialism. By using these anti-disciplinary approaches to disrupt the approaches of other disciplines, Martial Arts Studies proposes a field that both emerges out of and differs from its many disciplinary locations.

Book Synopsis Philosophy and the Martial Arts by : Graham Priest
Download or read book Philosophy and the Martial Arts written by Graham Priest and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first substantial academic book to lay out the philosophical terrain within the study of the martial arts and to explore the significance of this fascinating subject for contemporary philosophy. The book is divided into three sections. The first section concerns what philosophical reflection can teach us about the martial arts, and especially the nature and value of its practice. The second section deals with the other direction of the dialectical interplay between philosophy and the martial arts: how the martial arts can inform philosophical issues important in their own right. Finally, because many of the notable martial arts are of Asian origin, there are particularly close links between the arts and Asian philosophies – and Buddhism in particular – and therefore the last section is devoted to this topic. The essays in this collection deal with a wide range of philosophical issues: normative ethics, meta-ethics, aesthetics, phenomenology, the philosophy of mind, Ancient Greek and Buddhist thought. By demonstrating the very real nature of the engagement between the martial arts and philosophy, this book is essential reading for any serious student or scholar with an interest in the martial arts, Eastern philosophy, the philosophy of sport, or the study of physical culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The story of three of the world's hardest streetfighters.' DAILY SPORT One night in the early 1970s, three young bouncers worked together at a Liverpool nightclub. Terry O'Neill went on to become the greatest karate expert Britain has ever produced; Gary Spiers was the deadliest streetfighter alive; and Dennis Martin is now the UK's leading expert on close protection and bodyguarding. This is the story of these three martial arts masters and how they transformed both the practice of personal combat and the security industry. It follows in vivid detail the dangerous, violent path they walked and the many characters they met on the way. Martin spent his entire adult life involved in frontline security, working on the nightclub doors in Liverpool, protecting VIPs all over the world, then training bodyguards and other security professionals. He is also a widely published writer, with articles appearing in Black Belt, Soldier of Fortune, SWAT and Combat, while his regular column in Fighting Arts International is widely accepted as being the impetus behind reality-based self-protection. 'Dennis Martin is the most credible instructor of real self-defence in the world today.' - Geoff Thompson, author of 'Watch My Back'

Book Synopsis Principle of Aiki and Its Application in Aikido and Aikijujutsu by : Alun James Harris
Download or read book Principle of Aiki and Its Application in Aikido and Aikijujutsu written by Alun James Harris and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aiki, the unbalancing element of the martial arts of Aikido and Aikijujutsu, is the least understood aspect of these arts. Generally, descriptions of Aiki vary from the mystical to vague concepts like blending with the attacker's energy. This book gives a meaningful and practical bio-mechanical definition of Aiki. This description of Aiki clearly differentiates it from the unbalancing methods used in the associated martial arts of Judo, Jujutsu and Wrestling. Using this definition, Aiki can be applied in three fundamental forms. For each form, a detailed description of how Aiki is applied is given and is supplemented with demonstrations, so that the reader can experience the unbalancing effect of Aiki. Examples are described in detail, showing how each form of Aiki is applied in the techniques of Aikido and Aikijujutsu. The explanation of Aiki given here unifies the arts of Aikido and Aikijujutsu. Throughout the book, the ideas discussed are supported with illustrated diagrams. The Principle of Aiki described in this book has been used to analyse the unbalancing element of Aikido and Aikijujutsu techniques recorded on Youtube by well known Aikido and Aikijujutsu Sensei. This supporting material is available on the author's website aiki.simdif.com.
