Download or read book Karate Breaking Techniques written by Jack Hibbard and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-09 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karate Breaking Techniques is the first book devoted solely to the art and techniques of breaking objects. The author, a highly experienced martial arts instructor and former Green Beret, explains clearly and systematically how to break boards, bricks, and other objects, and discusses practical applications of these techniques for self-defense. With over 500 outstanding photographs and sketches, this karate book demonstrates the breaks themselves, then, in a simple, step-by-step manner, teaches how to execute them properly and safely. Although kola and fighting principles differ from style to style, breaking remains a constant, no matter what the style. Therefore, although martial artists may fight differently, execute kato differently or execute entirely different sets of kala, all students of all styles can use the information set out in Karate Breaking Techniques to master the art of breaking. Beginning with thorough coverage of the basics and on examination of the three principles of speed, power, and penetration, the author explains the importance of focus, body conditioning, proper placement of objects to be broken, breath control, and other vital aspects of the art. Hand, kicking, flying, and combination breaking techniques are discussed in detail, and the book concludes with instructions for performing impressive demonstration techniques.

Download or read book Practical Psychic Self Defense written by Robert Bruce and published by Hampton Roads Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is everything that goes on in your mind really you? Reallyyourthoughts and desires? Perhaps not, says Australian psychic researcher Robert Bruce, author of the highly popular and groundbreakingAstral Dynamics. It's not all angels and light beings out there aiding our enlightenment. Unseen psychic forces called Negatives--Negs, for short--are affecting us in many ways, and the more aware we are of this, the better we can choose whether to let this continue to happen. Based on more than two decades of firsthand research and experience, Bruce reports that our minds are subject to influences from many unseen spiritual sources. Some of these influences and energies are not wholesome and try to affect our thoughts and behavior in unusual, even inappropriate, ways. They can influence how we think, feel, act, even how our bodies function. They can make us unhappy, irritable, confused, sick, unstable, even crazy. They can interfere with us, disturb our lives, even attack us psychically. This is why we need practical tools and countermeasures for psychic self-defense, all of which Bruce provides. He explains everything you need to know--who the Negs are, how they work, how they affect adults and children, and how to resist their interference. Think of this book as a supernatural expose for the beginner, a survival guide for those living the nightmare of being influenced by unfriendly spirit beings and forces of darkness, says Bruce. "I have lived through everything I describe and have spent decades searching for ways to survive and create spiritual peace and quiet for myself."
