Krisebevidstheden i Danmark er blevet større hos mange, fordi verden har været ramt af en global pandemi, der er krig tæt på kontinentet og grundet politiske uroligheder i flere lande. Men hvad ville du gøre, hvis strømmen går eller varmen forsvinder? Hvor længe vil du kunne klare dig i isoleret i eget hjem? I Prepperens håndbog fortæller friluftsvejleder Mette Mortensen, kendt fra DR1-programmet Alene i Vildmarken, hvad det vil sige at være prepper. Bogen er en guide til at kunne klare sig selv i kortere og længere tid og rummer vigtige råd og lister, så man kan tage de fornødne forholdsregler i tilfælde af, at Danmark bliver ramt af en krise eller nødsituation, der f.eks. sætter strømforsyningen ud af spil. Det handler ikke om at være katastrofefokuseret, men om almindelig sund fornuft. Og med en ganske lille indsats kan vi hver og især gøre en stor forskel.

Discover the original purpose and training of taekwondoThe principles and techniques illustrated in this book, having been handed down over the decades, if not centuries, emphasize a core philosophy rich in defensive strategy.Taekwondo, literally translated, can be defined as "foot, hand way" or "the way of smashing with hands and feet." Such descriptive nomenclature understandably implies a curriculum rich in self-defense. Too often, however, this is simply not the case. Given the current popularity of sport competition in the martial arts, many techniques of defensive value have been stripped away or forfeited altogether in favor of those certain to score in the ring. While the thirst for Olympic gold has clearly played a significant role in propelling taekwondo into the forefront, it should be remembered that this native Korean martial art contains over 3200 distinct self defense techniques.This book describes in detail, the history and evolution of Taekwondo from its ancient roots to modern day applications. Also included are exercises in "Ki" or internal energy development, meditation practice, and practical self-defense strategies. This work focuses on the traditional aspects of Taekwondo rather than on its sportive component.
