Download or read book The Kata and Bunkai of Goju Ryu Karate written by Giles Hopkins and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging timeworn conventions of karate training and revealing the original intent of classical kata—or forms—through detailed descriptions of self-defense applications known as bunkai, this is a crucial addition to any martial-arts library. Containing more than 265 photos, the book is divided into chapters that illuminate each of the ten classical kata of Goju-ryu. Drawing on more than forty years of experience in the martial arts, Giles Hopkins Sensei takes us on a journey into the Goju-ryu karate system, providing a principles-based method for analysis of kata practice. Arguing against the commonly held notion that kata techniques can have multiple interpretations, he insists that a kata cannot simply mean what the user wants it to mean, but contains specific martial principles that must be followed for it to work effectively. The step-by-step descriptions of the receiving, controlling or bridging, and finishing techniques contain in-depth analysis of commonly misunderstood aspects of kata. Each chapter concludes with an engaging anecdote from the author’s time in Okinawa, the birthplace of Goju-ryu, connecting it with the kata under discussion. Equally useful for the novice and for more advanced karate practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of kata and bunkai.

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.

Download or read book Life Lessons of the Dojo written by J. M. Gallego and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Lessons of the Dojo is a unique self-help book. It is an experiential book that adapts martial arts philosophy to modern living. This is not a martial arts book, but rather incorporates core martial arts principles and adapts them to successful living. As an educator, martial arts practitioner and teacher, martial virtues have been taught and recited during training sessions for countless years; for the first time, these martial virtues have been explained in detail. This book covers practical living, finance, relationships and general practices that enhance a success driven life. Life Lessons of the Dojo offers practical insight to living life to the fullest through understanding the precepts of the Dojo Kun. The premise of this book is to educate, enlighten, and give direction to individuals wanting to positively change their lives. Each section offers a martial virtue, an explanation, and an affirmation quote. I believe that this book is one of kind. It transcends the classical self-help book because it is not a mystical book, but rather a book of concrete examples of general wellness, and spirituality.
