Book Description
Combat Muay Boran represents a hands-on approach to Thailand's original traditional fighting style, scientifically structured for hand-to-hand fighting. Compared to the spectacular choreographed performances so popular today in martial arts films and demonstrations, Combat Muay Boran stands out for its primary goal: to empower men and women to fight for their own safety. The techniques illustrated are based on the ancient Chern Muay fighting style: the aggressive use of the 9 natural weapons of the body (Nawarthawooth) to attack, defend and counterattack. In addition, this volume shows the use of the four main traditional attack systems: Throwing, Crushing, Grasping, Breaking.

The Monk from Brooklyn
Author: Antonio Graceffo
Publisher: Gom Publishing, LLC
ISBN: 1932966102
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
The Shaolin Temple, the birthplace of Kung Fu and modern Chinese Buddhism, is the oldest and most mysterious Kung Fu school in the world. It is an exotic and mythical destination of daydreams to millions of people. In the history of the temple, very few foreigners have ever had a chance to study there. Foreigners have been allowed to study in many of the Shaolin schools, near the temple, which have taken the Shaolin name as a marketing ploy, but less than fifty foreigners have studied at the original Shaolin Temple. Antonio Graceffo was lucky enough to be one of the few, and this is the chronicle of his experience. Antonio has twenty-five years of experience with martial arts, so it is with a knowing eye that he observed the training at the temple. But it is his background that gives him a very unique perspective. An Italian-American from Brooklyn, New York, and a former investment banker, Antonio was educated in some of the best universities that Europe and Asia had to offer. His articles are informative, humorous, and irreverent. He doesn't pull any punches writing about the filthy conditions and the diminished mental capacities of people who spent a lifetime learning to kick, but never bothered to learn to read and write. The title says it all. Put a Chinese-speaking Italian-American, from Brooklyn in the holiest of Buddhist temples, and watch the racial harmony flow.
