Download or read book Way of the Grandmaster written by Grandmaster Don Miskel and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grandmaster Miskel shares his wit and insight into the deeper meaning of martial arts. Essays like, "A Scientific Breakdown of the Strike" discuss the difference between a crushing strike, a compression strike, a jarring strike, a stunning strike, and a shocking strike that will render an opponent unconscious. Grandmaster Miskel explains the foundations and origins of many of the systems developed today. He speaks fondly of the early days and battles and with pride at the direction our brotherhood is going in the future. He talks about martial arts snobbery and petty jealousy that divide us and about the need for unity and tolerance. He reminisces about the old days in Chicago, he speaks of the philosophical principles that form our code of conduct and chivalry, and explains the concept of "coming full circle," so that, in the end, the techniques of the Grandmaster are as simple as those of a beginner, only devastatingly more effective.

Download or read book Advanced Martial Science written by Michael Patrick and published by . This book was released on 2011-08-17 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Martial Science is a detailed look at the science of Pressure Points ever written. It has been heralded by Grandmasters such as Rich Mooney, Rick Moneymaker, Tom Muncy, and Allen Wheeler. What Mr. Patrick has done in this book, is to carefully explain in detail a number of currently accepted psychological theories of the modern Western world, and a number of ancient Chinese medical theories that have been used through the centuries, not only in treating illnesses and injuries, but also in the dark side of Chinese martial arts, the secretive world of the hidden skills of Dim Mak, the famed and fabled "Death Touch". Mike places these theories in the context of Torite Jutsu, a modern day pressure point fighting method contained within the fighting art of Okinawan Ryukyu Kempo, created by the founders of the Dragon Society International, Grandmasters Tom Muncy, and Rick Moneymaker. These techniques and methods are to be applied using the methods of Kyusho Jutsu, the art and way of Pressure Point Fighting, along with Tuite, also called Torite, the art and way of joint locking. In the Chinese martial arts world, these methods are called Dian Xue, or Dim Mak, and Qinna Shu, or Chin Na. The reader will be carefully taken through these theories, each of which is referenced and described with stunning detail. The instruction contained herein is done in such a manner so as to be readily understandable to anyone, whether they train in martial arts or not. The kind of material that Master Patrick reveals on the Chinese side of things, are the skills and theories that used to be hidden from most common martial arts practitioners for decades, and would be considered "Closed Door" knowledge. It is what would be considered as super secret fighting knowledge; knowledge that would only be imparted to a select few of the Grand master's most elite and trusted of students. These would be students that had been carefully selected and groomed for their future positions; and only after they had spent many decades learning other materials, would they be considered worthy of the knowledge. This knowledge would be handed down to them complete with solemn oaths and rituals in hidden ceremonies. They would learn this material on the condition of utmost secrecy! The techniques and methods described in this manual are things that will make any martial arts practitioner a lethal fighting machine, quite capable of bringing down fatal destruction upon an unlucky attacker who happens to cross your path and tempt fate!To be sure, the material in this manual should be treated with the utmost respect, since the knowledge that is to be found within this volume can be considered to be quite lethal and deadly should it be applied in earnest against an attacker. Therefore, I request of you to approach what you see in this volume with the utmost of due respect, such as you would the words and teachings of a revered master of the martial arts, which is just what young Master Mike Patrick is surely shaping up to be. Sigung Rich Mooney

Download or read book Warrior Apprenticeship with the Grandmaster written by Michael Coleman and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 218 pages. 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.

This book was released on 2016-11-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embedded in the pages is the story of the making of a teacher of the martial arts and the methods he uses to teach martial arts to children and adults at the Traditional Martial Arts Institute based in Aberdeen, Scotland. The author, Grand Master David J. Harrell has dedicated most of his life to the study and practice of an ancient art of self defence, and to the development of those skills that would allow him to share his knowledge with the next generation. His book tells the story of his personal journey in martial arts and the lessons learned from fifty-three years of training. The book begins with the author’s introduction to martial arts in his home town in Suffolk at a time when segregation usually led to the exclusion of black children and adults from these white-dominated activities. Even at this early stage GM Harrell had a strong desire to teach and he asked his first, and every subsequent teacher to teach him to teach the martial arts. He goes on to describe those things that he learned from each of his teachers about how to share knowledge and skill with students of all ages and ability levels. In addition he reveals numerous insights gained from his many years of teaching and training. The book explains how he makes use of modern teaching methods and resources to replicate and remain faithful to what has been handed down to him by his instructors, including the traditions and values of martial art training.

Download or read book Secrets from the Ninja Grandmaster written by Stephen K. Hayes and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of heart-to-heart lessons from ninja grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi to his senior student and first American disciple, Stephen K Hayes. When this book was first published in 1987, Western martial artists could learn for the first time what the grandmaster himself had to say about the essence of warrior training that emphasised real-world battlefield fighting methods (jissen-gata) -- from the use of weapons to ninja invisibility to kuji warrior spirituality -- as opposed to art or sport. This important volume is now available once again through Paladin Press, with new introductions by both authors, an all-new epilogue entitled Twelve Years Later and a techniques section that illustrates various classical ninja fighting defences. This is an incredibly valuable book for every martial artist who has ever wanted to go beyond the stereotypical images of the ninja sensationalised in action-adventure movies and gain access to the true secrets of the ninja grandmaster.
