"From classic Bruce Lee films to the comedies of Jackie Chan, a vibrant look at the enduring fascination with the kung fu cinema of Hong Kong. In the spring and summer of 1973, a wave of martial arts movies from Hong Kong--epitomized by Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon--smashed box-office records for foreign-language films in America and ignited a 'kung fu craze' that swept the world. Fighting without Fighting explores this dramatic phenomenon, and it argues that, more than just a cinematic fad, the West's sudden fascination with--and moral panic about--the Asian fighting arts left lasting legacies still present today. The book traces the background of the craze in the longer development of Hong Kong's martial arts cinema. It discusses the key films in detail, as well as their popular reception and the debates they ignited, where kung fu challenged Western identities and raised anxieties about violence, both on and off-screen. And it examines the proliferation of ideas and images from these films in fields as diverse as popular music, superhero franchises, children's cartoons, and contemporary art. Illuminating and accessible, Fighting without Fighting draws a vivid bridge between East and West."--

"The Art and Science of Self Defense provides you with a condensed system of distilled skills and techniques, each carefully selected for its reliability in a high stress environment. Martial arts, combat sports, and self-defense are different realms, and while interconnected, they are not the same. This book helps bridge the gap. While training in the martial arts or competitive combat sports can aid you in a self-defense situation, it does not prepare you on how to take action should you need to physically defend yourself. Topics include awareness skills, including situational, spatial, and environmental; avoidance skills to deal with fear, escape, and de-escalation; anticipation skills for being approached, posturing, and reading body language; action arsenal including targeting, striking, yelling, evading, and countering; and advanced arsenals for dealing with ground fighting, weapons, and multiple attackers. Whether you are just starting out, or have been practicing martial arts for years, there are important self-defense skills for everyone in this book"--

Für Trainer demnächst auch erhältlich: Das I.N.KAS Kids Trainerhandbuch - BasicsDas Buch ist nicht das Ultima Ratio oder das Allheilmittel. Es gibt wie bei allem im Leben keine Garantie.

Das macht den Unterschied. Es gibt eine Reihe guter Systeme, leider gibt es genauso viele Trainer, die über keinerlei reale Erfahrung verfügen.Das beste System versagt, wenn es nicht von jemand unterrichtet wird, der die richtigen Verhaltens- und Lernprozesse der Schüler in Gang setzt.Diese Techniken wurden für unsere I.N.KAS Kids, Kindgerecht abgewandelt und kommen in unseren Kursen täglich zum Einsatz.

I.N.KASEntscheidend ist, welche Techniken zum Einsatz kommen und wie diese vermittelt werden. Das macht den Unterschied. Es gibt eine Reihe guter Systeme, leider gibt es genauso viele Trainer, die über keinerlei reale Erfahrung verfügen.Das beste System versagt, wenn es nicht von jemand unterrichtet wird, der die richtigen Verhaltens- und Lernprozesse der Schüler in Gang setzt.I.N.KAS ist die Abkürzung für Integratives Nahkampf- und Selbstschutzsystem.Alle enthaltenen Techniken und psychologischen Elemente sind unter Realbedingungen durch den Systembegründer selbst getestet und für tauglich befunden worden. Die Techniken sind keine Erfindung von I.N.KAS bzw. meiner Person. Sie stammen aus verschiedenen Systemen, Kampfsportarten und Kampfkünsten. Jedes System hat seine eigene Art, bzw. Interpretation, wann und wie die Techniken zum Einsatz kommen.Bei I.N.KAS ist das Hauptkriterium 'Funktioniert aus Erfahrung'.Ein Haupt-Thema bei I.N.KAS ist Stress und wie man damit umgeht, wie man sich in Stresssituationen noch effektiv schützen kann. In Stresssituationen funktioniert nur noch, was man intuitiv abrufen kann, was umgangssprachlich in Fleisch und Blut übergegangen ist. Das ist eine grundsätzlich andere Situation als auf der Matte in einer Kampfsport- oder Selbstverteidigungsschule.
