Jujutsu
Author: Mark Barlow
Publisher: Fifth Estate Incorporated
ISBN: 9780976823360
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
The confusion of combat arts with martial sports allowed Jujutsu to be superseded by Judo, Karate, and Tae Kwon Do in the public eye.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.

Legacies of the Sword
Author: Karl F. Friday
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 0824863321
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
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.

Lords of the Samurai
Author: Yoko Woodson
Publisher: Asian Art Museum
ISBN: 9780939117802
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
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.

Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
For more than 700 years Japan was dominated by a military caste-the samurai. To the Western mind these fearsome warriors-samurai, the masterless ronin, and the assassin ninja-have always been a source of mystery and wonder, combining the idealism of chivalry with military fanaticism. THE WAYS OF THE SAMURAI digs beneath the myth and reveals a truth even more amazing about the men who practiced a discipline drawn from Zen and Confucian ethics-bushido, the way of the warrior.
