Taking It to the Street Making Your Martial Art Street Effective by Young, Marc M. MacYoung, Marc Edition , 0

$23.99

Most real fights are short, fast and brutal. And there are no rules. The martial artist who thinks hes trained to handle whats coming may be in for a painful surprise. But this isnt one of those books about bringing your martial art up to street speed that rips on everything youve worked so hard to learn. Its a book on taking your moves and making them fast, fanged and fierce enough to stand up to a surprise attack. Ex-streetfighter Marc Animal MacYoung knows from experience that no matter how much training theyve had, most people get overwhelmed in the first critical seconds of a streetfight. And its nearly impossible to get over the shock of being attacked and organize a viable response while someone is tap dancing on your face. With photos, illustrations and detailed instructions, Animal brings the martial artist from the structured safety of the dojo to the mayhem of the street, alley and biker bar. He teaches you the quickest ways to get your attacker off his feet; how to do bulletproof blocks and throws; how to anticipate a strike and how to make a kicker howl. He also gives you important tips on what to do after a brawl, because such issues as legalities, revenge seekers and your own mental well being last long after the fight is over. Anyone whos ever wondered if his or her martial arts training would hold up to a real-life attack needs to read this book.

The Power of Internal Martial Arts and Chi by Frantzis, Bruce Edition ILL,REV, 2

$24.49

Originally published in 1998, this book has become a martial arts classic. It provides detailed descriptions of the three main internal martial arts—tai chi (taiji), hsing-i (xingyi) and ba gua (pakua)—and their sub-styles, as well as how they differ from each other and from such external arts as karate, tae kwon do and judo. Each internal martial art is analyzed in terms of its fighting strategies and applications. This revised edition includes 50 pages of additional material including a new chapter on martial arts and spirituality.This was the first book to provide in-depth information to Westerners about nei gung (neijiaquan), the sophisticated Taoist system developed in ancient China for working with chi in the body, mind and spirit. Chi helps build relaxed speed and power without the use of muscular tension or adrenaline surges. This gives many internal martial artists a powerful edge over counterparts trained in external martial arts. The book provides vivid details about Frantzis’ personal training odyssey in the martial arts, including fascinating profiles of such renowned martial artists as Morehei Ueshiba, founder of Aikido; ba gua master Wang Shu Jin, who emanated chi so powerfully that on cold days his students could warm their hands by standing near him; and Liu Hung Chieh, the legendary master of the internal martial arts and Taoist meditation who also had a complete knowledge of traditional Chinese medical theory. The new edition demystifies the technique known as fa jin, the storage and sudden discharge of energy without the use of muscular force, one aspect of which is demonstrated on the front cover. The new edition also adds a lengthy chapter on the spiritual development of a martial artist, and describes how the internal martial arts are linked to Taoist meditation.

As the Imjin war dragged on for years, Korea needed a way to effectively train a large number of troops, and the Korean military adopted a training methodology based on a Chinese military manual called Ji Xiao Xin Shu (Hangul: ?효??, Hanja: ????) written by a famous Chinese strategist Qi Jiguang (??光). The book was of particular interest to Koreans as it was written by a Chinese strategist and a commander who has successfully defeated a major Japanese pirate force that landed in Southeast coast of China mere decades before the Imjin war. Koreans created their own version of the military training manual based on the Chinese version and called it Muyejebo. The Muyejebo contains chapters about the use of the following weapons: The information about the use of the Wisteria shield with the throwing spear and the waist sword was in one chapter. The king ordered his officials to add supplemental information to the Muyejebo, he died however before this work got published. His successor, king Gwanghaegun, continued the work of his father which let to the publication of the Muyejebo Sokjip (??????, ??????) by Choe Gi-nam (Hangul: ???, Hanja: ???).
