Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What are the martial arts? - This is the most mysterious point which one gains without learning." These cryptic words were spoken by one of the greatest martial artists of the twentieth century, Grandmaster Takamatsu Toshitsugu*. He passed away in 1972, the same year I began studying martial arts. I was too young to question why I liked the training. My family members had been soldiers for generations, and my uncle was even stationed in Asia and studied budo (Japanese martial arts). I guess it follows that my parents' daycare center curriculum included karate for Kindergarteners. But as I grew older and after years of fighting in tournaments, my curiosity about the roots and true meaning behind the discipline grew. At fourteen, I stopped sparring and turned to more substantial forms of research and exercise. Shortly after, I happened to pick up a book written by an American who had gone to Japan and trained with a mysterious master called Tanemura Sensei. The author was greatly impressed but for some reason missed his opportunity to complete his training with Tanemura Sensei. Perhaps I had a chance...I was only from a small city in the Midwest. I had no connection to the Japanese Grandmaster thousands of miles away. Even so I felt that somehow, I'd eventually meet Tanemura Sensei and receive the direct teaching I longed for. Five years of searching went by, and because the internet had not yet been invented, the hunt was even more challenging. I was sometimes overcome by confusion and despair. At times, I even forgot the goal entirely. But eventually destiny reminded me that I had to learn the truth. This book contains the story of how my apprenticeship unfolded.

Download or read book Chess Warrior written by László Jakobetz and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Patriarch of Hungarian Chess Ask any chessplayer today if they recognize the name “Maróczy” and you will probably get a reply that it describes a pawn configuration designed to limit black pawn levers. While technically correct, such a reply would overlook the life and legacy of one of the great grandmasters, organizers, and arbiters in chess history. Géza Maróczy was the first Hungarian world-class grandmaster. In the most comprehensive biography of him ever written, Hungarian chess historian László Jakobetz traces Maróczy’s life from the earliest years, his maturing to an elite player and his significant contributions to the royal game. This remarkable book has over 180 annotated games, supplemented by hundreds of rare archival photographs. Also included are Maróczy’s complete tournament and match records, along with crosstables, from Budapest 1892 to his final tournament in the Netherlands in 1947. Until now, very few books worthy of Géza Maróczy’s influence and chess legacy have been published worldwide. Therefore, I am delighted that this comprehensive biography presents to chess-loving readers the exceptional personalities and chess events of past eras, along with many interesting lessons and insights for the present generation. – from the foreword by Lajos Portisch Most players are familiar with modern Hungarian grandmasters such as Judit Polgár and Péter Lékó, but it was the great patriarch of Hungarian chess Géza Maróczy who paved the way for them.

Book excerpt: By the time you finish reading this, someone in the United States will have been violently assaulted. That's right. Every thirty-seven seconds someone in this country is the victim of a serious physical attack. Do you know how to defend yourself? Would you know how to neutralize your opponent to give you time to escape? The Apprentice Warrior System is a self-defense system not intended for the hard-core martial arts practitioner but for the average person who does not want to be caught off-guard in a dangerous situation. Created by the renowned Grandmaster Adrian Roman (10th degree black belt), the Apprentice Warrior System provide practitioners with a strong self-defense foundation. Specifically designed for beginners, it provides illustrated techniques that are simple to follow and easy to learn. What is the Apprentice Warrior System? To oversimplify the basic principles of The Apprentice Warrior System, it can be best described as a "neutralize and escape" system - not a "combat system." The Apprentice Warrior System is a straightforward self-defense system for beginners. The system was created to be simple and easy to learn. The system provides a combination of self-defense techniques learned from years of experience. The focus of these techniques is for an apprentice; a learner or novice. There are no forms or katas to memorize or practice for the Apprentice Warrior System, just plain and simple techniques. The Apprentice Warrior System is not intended for the hard core martial artist that already has years of experience. However, the follow-on system to the Apprentice Warrior, FalammichiTM, is an advanced self-defense/martial arts system that is right for everyone. The Apprentice Warrior System is a self-defense system that draws upon the Movements of Life; what is natural. For the purpose of training, the Apprentice Warrior System provides specific techniques to be practiced. However, these techniques are only repetition exercises to stimulate mind and muscle memory, and to help the student develop an analytical thought process, giving the student a foundation of their own to build upon.
