Meditation and the Martial Arts Meditation and the Martial Arts $27.99 The relationship between meditation and the martial arts is a multifaceted one: meditation is one of the practices in which martial artists engage in order to prepare for combat, while the physical exercises constituting much of the discipline of the martial arts might well be considered meditative practices. Michael Raposa, himself a martial arts practitioner, suggests there is a sense in which meditation may in turn be considered a form of combat, citing a variety of spiritual disciplines that are not strictly classified as "martial arts" yet that employ the heavy use of martial images and categories as part of their self-description. Raposa, in this extraordinary alloy of meditation manual, historical synthesis, and spiritual guide, provides a fascinating approach to understanding the connection between martial arts and spirituality in such diverse disciplines as Japanese aikido, Chinese tai chi chuan, Hindu yoga, Christian asceticism, Zen Buddhism, and Islamic jihad. What happens when spiritual discipline is appropriated for exercises meant for health or recreation? How might prayer, meditation, and ritual be understood as martial activities? What is the nature of conflict, and who is the enemy? These are some of the questions Raposa raises and responds to in Meditation and the Martial Arts, his rumination on the martial arts as meditative practice and meditation as a martial discipline. Michael L. Raposa, Professor of Religion Studies at Lehigh University, is the author of Peirce’s Philosophy of Religion and Boredom and the Religious Imagination (Virginia).

KI and the Way of the Martial Arts $17.19 While technical prowess and physical power are essential characteristics of a martial artist, true mastery of the art comes by cultivating one’s inner strength. Here, Kenji Tokitsu–an authority on Japanese and Chinese combat arts and a respected karate teacher–shows how cultivating ki (life force) and understanding the principles of budo (the martial path of self-development) can make training in martial arts more meaningful, effective, and personally and spiritually rewarding. Tokitsu emphasizes the mental aspects of martial arts practice including: The importance of ki development Seme, or capturing your opponent’s mind Understanding ma, the spatial relationship in combat Studying these concepts, he explains, gives martial artists the tools to train for a lifetime and at the very highest level. Tokitsu also gives a historical and cultural survey of budo, and explains how the Western view of budo training is different than the Japanese–a perspective rarely available to Western martial artists. |

The Martial Arts of Renaissance Europe $60.54 Mounted encounters by armored knights locked in desperate hand-to-hand combat, stabbing and wrestling in tavern brawls, deceits and brutalities in street affrays, balletic homicide on the dueling field — these were the martial arts of Renaissance Europe. In this extensively illustrated book Sydney Anglo, a leading historian of the Renaissance and its symbolism, provides the first complete study of the martial arts from the late fifteenth to the late seventeenth century. He explains the significance of martial arts in Renaissance education and everyday life and offers a full account of the social implications of one-to-one combat training. Like the martial arts of Eastern societies, ritualized combat in the West was linked to contemporary social and scientific concerns, Anglo shows. During the Renaissance, physical exercise was regarded as central to the education of knights and gentlemen. Soldiers wielded a variety of weapons on the battlefield, and it was normal for civilians to carry swords and know how to use them. In schools across the continent, professional masters-of-arms taught the skills necessary to survive in a society where violence was endemic and life cheap. Anglo draws on a wealth of evidence — from detailed treatises and sketches by jobbing artists to magnificent images by Durer and Cranach and descriptions of real combat, weapons and armor -to reconstruct and illustrate the arts taught by these ancient masters-at-arms. |

Martial Mechanics: Maximum Results with Minimum Effort in the Practice of the Martial Arts $16.96 Interest in a wide range of martial arts grows exponentially each year, but few practitioners understand the scientific forces that underlie these arts. The originators of ancient traditional systems intuitively grasped the body mechanics behind their disciplines, and thus were capable of generating uncanny striking force. Contemporary students, on the other hand, often fail to achieve the high levels of technical proficiency they desire because they are unaware of these laws and how they work in a martial arts context. Drawing on the author’s decades of experience as both student and teacher, "Martial Mechanics "explains, in humorous, easy-to-understand language, how physics and kinesiology affect martial arts techniques and how readers can best utilize them to make them faster, more powerful, and hence more effective in actual combat. Featuring black-and-white photographs throughout, "Martial Mechanics" is written for both internal and external martial artists, " "mixed martial arts practitioners with an interest in competition or self-defense, students of kung fu, karate, taekwondo, muay thai boxing, kickboxing, wing chun, and more.

Martial Maneuvers: Fighting Principles and Tactics of the Internal Martial Arts $17.77 In "Martial Maneuvers, "Phillip Starr demonstrates that while the internal martial arts–Taijiquan, Bagua Zhang, and Xingyi Quan–might be considered ineffective for practical self-defense, they in fact have a long history of combat use.

Starr returns to the roots of the three major internal arts, demonstrating the combative principles upon which they were originally based. "Martial Maneuvers "often takes a lighthearted and humorous approach to what can often be challenging material, and provides training routines in easy-to-understand language. Numerous photos demonstrate the step-by-step implementation of fighting techniques, teaching readers how to apply them to their own chosen martial disciplines.

Kalaripayat: The Martial Arts Tradition of India $17.24 The first book in English on the Indian marital art that was the precursor to the Chinese and Japanese traditions – A rigorous martial arts practice that also promotes harmonious self-development – Provides practices for controlling the circulation of energy and vital forces throughout the body Originating in the southern Indian province of Kerala, kalaripayat is the most ancient of the Eastern martial arts. Yet today it has been practically forgotten. Former CBS war correspondent Patrick Denaud looks at this neglected tradition, whose history spans millennia, from the time it was transmitted by the god Vishnu to the sage Parasurama and his twenty-one disciples, the original Gurukkals, to its present-day practice. More than an art of combat, kalaripayat is a way of life and a spiritual discipline. Its martial techniques are designed to create states propitious for deep meditation. Long the jealously guarded art of the Nair warriors of southern India, kalaripayat was banned by the British East India Company in 1793 and was long believed by outside observers to be extinct. Several Gurukkals continued a clandestine practice and secretly trained the students who would transmit the teachings to today’s keepers of the art, such as Gurukkal Pratap S. Balachandrian. Like other spiritual disciplines, kalaripayat draws from the science of breath. Focused, silent breathing creates highly concentrated trance states and helps control the inner circulation of vital energy. The practitioner learns not only how to be a capable fighter with or without weapons but also an accomplished healer.

Re-Defining Martial Arts for the Future: The Phoenix System $38.06 Re-defining Martial Arts for the Future is a martial art training manual that goes beyond the basic presentation of a martial art to encompass the why and the how of martial art training. The book defines what makes a martial art, martial. The book focuses on the Phoenix System as an example of a modern eclectic training system that incorporates kickboxing, Thai boxing, boxing, BJJ, wrestling, and MMA into one integrated and complete system that maintains traditional values and concepts relevant today. The essence of the book is the discussion comparing martial training methods, both modern and traditional, which challenges current main stream thinking and presents a strong position for what a martial art should deliver the practitioner for now and the future. The book includes many common aspects of martial art books including a photo glossary, training programs, technique description, fitness and conditioning, nutrition, and history. The book presents a martial art system focused on function over form, on benefit rather than entertainment, on application and reaction rather than memory. It presents how to truelly develop a student to be prepared for the chaos of conflict whilst maintaining a strong ethical base for character development and true martial development. |
