Fall, Stand, and Repeat: My Martial Arts Journey
Author: Anthony Vano
Publisher: eBookIt.com
ISBN: 1456629069
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
This book will not teach you how to fight physically, but mentally–how martial arts training can give you a powerful, mental edge and a strong mindset. It's a book about how martial arts helped me on my personal journey–how martial arts helped me realize the power of respect, discipline, and honor. It will show the importance of controlling your focus and not letting anger, frustration, or fear destroy you. This is a simple story of an ordinary man who deeply has enjoyed growing and training in the martial arts and how the martial arts training has been a beautiful distraction from the negative drama that life throws at times. In over 20 years, I've learned many valuable skills and life lessons. One of the most impactful skills I learned in all my martial arts training is the application of a simple formula: Fall, Stand, Repeat. If you can learn to habitually climb your way back up from the inevitable falls–both on the mat, and in the dojo of life–you will achieve and exceed your goals.

The Invention of Martial Arts
Author: Paul Bowman
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0197540333
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
"The Invention of Martial Arts examines the media history of what we now call 'martial arts' and argues that martial arts is a cultural construction that was born in film, TV and other media. It argues that 'martial arts' exploded into popular consciousness entirely thanks to the work of media. Of course, the book does not deny the existence of real, material histories and non-media dimensions in martial arts practices. But it thoroughly recasts the status of such histories, combining recent myth-busting findings in historical martial arts research with important insights into the discontinuous character of history, the widespread 'invention of tradition', the orientalism and imagined geographies that animate many ideas about history, and the frequent manipulation of history for reasons of status, cultural capital, private or public power, politics, and/or financial gain. In doing so, The Invention of Martial Arts argues for the primacy of media representation as key player in the emergence and spread of martial arts. This argument overturns the dominant belief that 'real practices' are primary, while representations are secondary. The book makes its case via historical analysis of the British media history of such Eastern and Western martial arts as Bartitsu, jujutsu, judo, karate, tai chi and MMA across a range of media, from newspapers, comics and books to cartoon, film and TV series, as well as television adverts and music videos, focusing on key but often overlooked texts such as adverts for 'Hai Karate', the 1970s disco hit 'Kung Fu Fighting', and many other mainstream and marginal media texts"--

Gate of Nine Dragons—Searching for Kung Fu
Author: Laurence Brahm
Publisher: 香港中和出版有限公司
ISBN: 9888869655
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
The first part of this book Searching for Kung Fu recalls my own journey over decades in the search for both the most traditional Kung Fu practices and the philosophical teachings embedded within. It begins as a teenager studying Karate in America, learning from one of the great Okinawa masters Shihon Kenneth Funakoshi. Realizing that the root of Karate is actually Kung Fu, the journey brought me to China, to the legendary Shaolin Monastery seeking the source of Kung Fu. During these years I have had the opportunity and privilege to train under many of China’s great masters whose stories and philosophies are imparted in this book. I am sharing the story of my journey, as it is really the shared journey of every martial artist. The second part of this book The Gate of Nine Dragons reflects nine key Kung Fu principles presented through the traditional “Nine Dragon Sons.” These are nine Kung Fu concepts that can be understood as a code shared by and belonging to every school of martial arts. As a code this set of nine principles represent a set of integrated mind-set values that we can adopt in our daily lives: Perseverance, Loyalty, Balance, Change, Centering, Harmony, Flow, Emptiness, Non-violence. These nine Kung Fu principles can be understood as nine stages of training, nine aspects of Chinese philosophy, or nine values shared by martial artists offered here as a code.
