Download or read book Jeet Kune Do Foundations written by Jason Korol and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's easy to see the reality of violence. It's easy to see that it isn't choreographed and that highly complex routines won't work under the pressures of a real fight because bad guys don't stand still and cooperate. Moreover, it's easy to see that real fights aren't sporting matches or sparring contests either. Yes, this is all obvious to the person who wants to learn a method in order to protect themselves against a real threat. What isn't so easy is finding a method that takes all these things seriously and gives you the simple truth of the matter. That was, in fact, exactly what the late Bruce Lee sought when he developed his ingenious fighting method, Jeet Kune Do. His brilliance wasn't only in his movies but also in the fact that he understood the root of the issue. And what's that? Simple - that the whole goal is keeping yourself as safe as possible and the best defense is a good offense and the best offense is a scientific counter-attack. Thus, the heart of JKD is the intercepting/stopping fist (or foot). Most methods give you dozens - even hundreds - of techniques. JKD favors the straight punch and kick. The entire system is a set-up for the basics and once they're understood and practiced properly they can be expertly deployed by anyone. In Jeet Kune Do Foundations you'll find these basics and you'll learn the underlying philosophy that sets Lee's intercepting fist method apart. And you'll learn the importance and necessity of JKD's integration of the ready position, footwork and striking. To not understand this critical principle at the heart of JKD is to not understand JKD. Each aspect both relies on and supports the other. The ready position is ready to both hit and move; the unique footwork is designed to effortlessly transport the ready position without disrupting it. And JKD's power-side forward straight hits fire without telegraphing or disrupting the ready position/footwork connection while attacking the enemy's weakest targets. Literally everything else in the system is in orbit around this technical/tactical integrative foundation and once you get it, defending yourself will be much, much easier. While the ebook version of Foundations has links to short videos to explain the techniques, this, the hard copy, includes dozens of photos not in the ebook version to bring the material to life. Also covered are two critically important aspects of self-defense left out of most volumes: pre-fight and post-fight management. Every serious self-defense student must study deescalation tactics as well as the art of fighting without fighting - that is, the ability to win the fight by recognizing the behaviors that trigger violence in the first place. Learning how not to be in the fight is as important, and maybe more so, than mastering the fighting techniques themselves. And you'll also learn what to do AFTER the fight too. Certain pre and post-fight actions can get you thrown in jail. Think about it. It doesn't do you any good to defeat one knucklehead and then end up in a cell with ten more like him...or go bankrupt defending yourself legally for your actions. Many people are sitting in jail cells, their lives ruined, because they got into a fight and thought their only enemy was the other guy(s) and weren't trained to think about the legal ramifications of their actions and words. So, if you're serious about truly learning a real-world self-defense system, Jeet Kune Do Foundations is for you.

Download or read book Martial Arts Studies written by Paul Bowman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase “martial arts studies” is increasingly circulating as a term to describe a new field of interest. But many academic fields including history, philosophy, anthropology, and Area studies already engage with martial arts in their own particular way. Therefore, is there really such a thing as a unique field of martial arts studies? Martial Arts Studies is the first book to engage directly with these questions. It assesses the multiplicity and heterogeneity of possible approaches to martial arts studies, exploring orientations and limitations of existing approaches. It makes a case for constructing the field of martial arts studies in terms of key coordinates from post-structuralism, cultural studies, media studies, and post-colonialism. By using these anti-disciplinary approaches to disrupt the approaches of other disciplines, Martial Arts Studies proposes a field that both emerges out of and differs from its many disciplinary locations.

The Stage of Art--the student is immersed in the process of technical and physical training. The Stage of Artlessness--the stage of "highest art" in which the body is no longer hindered by the mind.

Download or read book Straight Lead written by Teri Tom and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The straight punch is the core of Jeet Kune Do."—Bruce Lee The straight lead was a key element in Bruce Lee's development of his own personal style. It was designed to be uncomplicated, economical, and brutally effective but is not as simple as it might seem. Bruce Lee once described it the most difficult move in the Jeet Kune Do arsenal. Lee developed JKD as a response to the shortcomings he found in traditional martial arts, but it also includes elements of Western combat systems that he found effective. It incorporates contributions ranging from Jack Dempsey's approach to boxing to the fencing style of Aldo Nadi. In The Straight Lead: The Core of Bruce Lee's Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, author Teri Tom describes the development of the straight punch in Western martial arts and describes Bruce Lee's refinement of the technique. It also offers a thorough instruction in the complexity and power of the move—showing martial artists of any discipline how to incorporate this devastating attack into their repertoire. With forewords by Shannon Lee Keasler and Ted Wong, chapters include: A Brief History of Straight Punching Evolution of Jeet Kune Do's Straight Lead The Stance Mechanics of the Straight Lead Footwork Why the Straight Lead?

Download or read book Radical Media written by John D. H. Downing and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2000-08-18 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an entirely new edition of the author′s 1984 study (originally published by South End Press) of radical media and movements. The first and second sections are original to this new edition.

The second section weaves an historical and international tapestry of radical media to illustrate their centrality and diversity, from dance and graffiti to video and the internet and from satirical prints and street theatre to culture-jamming, subversive song, performance art and underground radio. The section also includes consideration of ultra-rightist media as a key contrast case. The book′s third section provides detailed case-studies of the anti-fascist media explosion of 1974-75 in Portugal, Italy′s long-running radical media, radio and access video in the USA, and illegal media in the dissolution of the former Soviet bloc dictatorships.
Download or read book Taekwondo written by Udo Moenig and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the historical, political, and technical evolution of taekwondo. Many of the supposedly ‘traditional’ and ‘ancient’ Korean cultural elements attached to taekwondo are, in fact, remnants of East Asia’s modernization drive, and largely inherited from the Japanese martial arts. The current historical portrayal has created an obstacle to a clear understanding of the history of taekwondo, and presents problems and contradictions in philosophy and training methodology. Using rich empirical data, including interviews with leading figures in the field, this book brings together martial arts philosophy with an analysis of the technical aspects and the development of taekwondo, and provides a detailed comparison of karate and taekwondo techniques. It debunks nationalistic mythology surrounding taekwondo to provide a reinterpretation of taekwondo’s evolution.
