Download or read book Samurai and Ninja written by Antony Cummins and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myths of the noble Samurai and the sinister Ninja are filled with romantic fantasy and fallacy. Samurai and Ninja expert Antony Cummins shatters the myths and exposes the true nature of these very real--and very lethal--medieval Japanese warriors. The Samurai and Ninja were, in fact, brutal killing machines trained in torture and soaked in machismo. Many were skilled horsemen and sword-fighting specialists, while others were masters of deception and sabotage. Some fought for loyalty, others for personal gain. What these warriors all shared in common was their unflinching personal bravery, skill and brutality. In Samurai and Ninja, Cummins separates myth from reality and shows why the Japanese were the greatest warriors of all time: He describes the Samurai and the Ninja as they really were in earlier times when battles raged across Japan--not in later times when war became obsolete and Japanese warriors became philosophers, scholars and courtiers. He describes the social context of the day and the feudal world into which the warriors were trained to fight and die for their lords. He exposes the essentially brutal nature of warfare in medieval Japan. This book is illuminated by many rare Japanese manuscripts and texts which are translated into English for the very first time.

Download or read book Impulsive Ninja written by Mary Nhin and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you have a child who acts or talks impulsively?  Children who exhibit impulsive behavior are often labeled unruly. Even though children can be calm, their positive qualities can be often overlooked by their poor impulse control. Children without impulse control act or talk before they think, often unable to control their initial response to a situation. The ability to self-regulate is absent and they don't pause to think about future consequences. Impulsivity is related to acting without thought. As a result, children do things like take unnecessary risks, blurt things out, don't wait their turn, or interrupt conversations. Impulsive Ninja learns how to use an underused superpower to respond to frustration, anger, and criticism. Find out what happens in this SEL book about impulsiveness. Life is tough. But so are you!

Download or read book Ninja Bread Castles written by Elgon Williams and published by Pandamoon Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-17 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you fall through a window, either you shatter it, or it shatters you. Regardless, it’s always a bad choice. Though there may be a good story in it, even when there is no other option, it is never a good idea. When Brent escapes The Program, he breaks a fundamental law of the universe: a window is a barrier intended to divide not a portal to be transgressed. Windows separate inside from outside. And so, despite having just regathered the fragments of his life, Brent Woods finds himself once again in two pieces. With one part remaining in the world where Sully and Forsythe desperately seek to find and control him, the other winds up in alternate universe New Orleans where the living who need to escape reality coexist with the dead, largely musicians and other creatives who have no intention of moving on to an afterlife in Assembly. Obviously, Brent’s main objective is to get himself together, but first he must resolve issues lingering from his youth when three of his girlfriends died tragically. Accused of responsibility he must clear his reputation before Plush the Magic Drag Queen, supreme ruler of New Orleans, permits his return to the Outworld. All the while, his other half must escape The Program’s recapture. Straddling two hostile worlds, Brent navigates a minefield of threats and challenges that no one living should ever face.

In Parenting Like a Ninja, Faith Clarke walks moms through well-established principles of psychological well-being and thriving to create balance and energize their professional productivity, so they can build more of what they have been looking for professionally, all while being able to nurture their child’s well-being.

Download or read book Research of Martial Arts written by Shifu Jonathan Bluestein and published by Jonathan Bluestein. This book was released on 2014-07-27 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Bluestein's Research of Martial Arts is a book about the true essence of martial arts. It includes neither instruction on deadly killing techniques, nor mystical tales of so called super-human masters. Rather, it is a vast compilation of seriously thought-out observations made on the subject by the author, as well as many other martial artists and scientists, with a slight touch of history and humour. The goal of this project had from the start been to surpass the current standard in the martial arts literary market, and offer readers worldwide something which they have never seen before. In essence, a book in which are found countless answers for martial arts practitioners which they cannot be read elsewhere, which address commonly discussed martially-related topics with breadth and depth unparalleled in other works to this day (in any language). It holds among its pages no less than 220,000 words, containing knowledge which would be coveted by many. The aim of this book is to present the reader a coherent, clear-cut, and in-depth view of some of the most perplexing and controversial subjects in the world of martial arts, as well as providing a healthy dose of philosophical outlook on these subjects (from various individuals). At its core is the author's aspiration to build a stronger theoretical foundation for the discussion of martial arts, while addressing matters in innovative ways, which I have come to believe, would help people to better grasp the nature of these arts. There are books by authors who will tell you that some aspects of the martial arts are too complex for concrete, coherent and defined explanations. Others have used ambiguous terminology to explain what they could not pronounce otherwise. This is no such book. This book was written to provide you with the solid, applicable answers and ideas that you could actually understand, and take away with you. This book is mainly comprised of three parts: | Part I: From the Inside Out – External and Internal Gong Fu | This is essentially mostly a very long & thorough discussion of martial arts theory and practice. Traditional and modern concepts and methods are discussed through the mediums of Physiology, Biology, Anatomy, Psychology, Philosophy (Western and Oriental alike), sports science, and the author's personal experiences. The Internal Martial Arts of China receive a special, lengthier treatment in this part of the book. | Part II: Contemplations on Controlled Violence | This one is of a Philosophical and Psychological nature, and contains the author's thoughts on the martial arts and their manifestation in our daily lives, with guest-articles by various martial arts teachers. | Part III: The Wisdom of Martial Spirits: Teachers, and the Things They Hold Dear | This part includes various interesting and comprehensive interviews with distinguished martial arts masters, spanning dozens of pages each. Every one of the interviewees is a person whose views and ideas are thought provoking and well-worth reading. The teachers interviewed in this book are: Master Chen Zhonghua (Chen Taiji Quan) Master Yang Hai (Xing Yi Quan, Bagua Zhang and Chen Taiji Quan) Shifu Strider Clark (Tongbei Quan, Wu style Taiji, Shuai Jiao and more) Shifu Neil Ripski (Traditional Drunken Fist and many others) Sifu James Cama (Buddha Hand Wing Chun and Southern Praying Mantis) Itzik Cohen Sensei (Shito-ryu Karate) No matter the age, rank, status or experience – this book was written for everyone who see themselves part of the martial arts community. It is my sincere hope that any person who reads this book will benefit from the time he or she had spent doing so. May this work encourage others to continue intelligent writing and research in the field, as I was pushed forth and built upon the knowledge others have shared before me. May you have a pleasant reading experience! =]
