This book is aimed at martial artists of all styles and also types too. The principles can be applied to both training and also life too. It is recommended for children, adults and all those in between. The book is divided into four main sections and covers sparring tips and tricks, kata performance tips, habit & mindset and determination & spirit.With regards to sparring, the author gives students an insight into developing power in techniques to fighting smart rather than fighting hard. So as an example one of the quotes featured is 'closest weapon, closest target'. This illustrates the principle of speed in sparring. Often the closest hand to your opponent is the best weapon, as it reduces the chance of being seen and also being blocked too.So in terms of kata this book will give you tips on how to relax, how to develop explosive movements and also how to develop great stances when performing.Habit and mindset are two very important things to any martial artist. Due to the repetitive nature of karate we develop habits. Once a habit is formed it is very hard to break. As Einstein once said the definition of insanity is 'doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results'. As humans are creatures of habit, this section helps you to train your mind to form better training habits and be as awesome as possible.Possibly the most important factors for any martialartist determination and spirit. These two things can be applied from a sports perspective, where by a lack of determination or a broken spirit can be the difference between winning and loosing, where as in a self defence situation this can have more serious consequences. These tips can aid you to developing a stronger mind and help you achieve both your karate goals and also life goals too.Overall this book will help all martial artists at any stage of their journey to develop and strengthen both physically and mentally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internment of Japanese-Americans during the Second World War was a landmark in American jurisprudence. One hundred twenty thousand Japanese, the majority of whom were American citizens, were forcibly removed from the west coast of the United States because of their race. I was one of the 120,000 internees, but was only seven years of age when interned and ten when I returned to California. I was too young to fully appreciate the historic scope of the incarceration of American citizens simply because of their national origin. This awakening came later. My parents were able to keep me from fully realizing my situation, and protected me from the feeling of helplessness that would have come with a better understanding of what had happened to us.

Since childhood, Nicole has had a cross to bear that nobody knows about except her mother, Reba, but she can’t tell anyone….anymore. Through years of diaries and letters hidden in a secret trunk, Gary learns the truth about his beloved. As he reads the story of her life in her own words, Nicole clings to life after being involved in a near-fatal plane crash. But will he still feel the same about her, even if she survives? Can he forgive her for all the lies? This book was written in memory of one of my favourite actors, and to remind us that not all illnesses are worn on one’s shirt sleeves.
Download or read book Remembering O Sensei written by Susan Perry and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2002-11-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morihei Ueshiba (1883–1969), founder of the Japanese martial art of Aikido, is one of the greatest and most beloved martial artists in history. Remembering O-Sensei is a portrait of Ueshiba as told by his uchi-deshi, the students who lived and trained with him as his disciples. This collection of memories—gathered here for the first time—captures the essence of this extraordinary martial arts master and visionary, revealing Ueshiba's teaching style, his daily habits, his philosophy of life, the lovably human aspects of his personality, and his deep belief that Aikido could be used as a means to creating peace and harmony in the world. The book also provides a snapshot of a fascinating time in Japanese history when a student would apprentice with his master by essentially moving in with him and receiving instruction through rigorous training sessions, and also by serving him and observing his actions in daily life. Most of the students whose remembrances are included in this book went on to spread the teaching of Aikido throughout the world and became masters in their own right.
