This luxurious hardback presents The Book of Five Rings, a classic Japanese text by the undefeated swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, with gold embossing and gilded page edges. Shortly before his death in 1645, Musashi retreated to a cave to live as a hermit. There he wrote five scrolls describing the "true principles" required for victory in the martial arts and on the battlefield. Instead of relying on religion or theory, Musashi based his writings on his own experience, observation, and reason. The scrolls, published as The Book of Five Rings, have recently gained an international reputation in the business world as a means of resolving differences and achieving success. But their delineation of the psychological strength, rigorous self-control, and practical application necessary for dealing with physical and mental conflict also has a wider relevance and can be usefully applied to all our lives. This compact luxury edition with gold-foil embossing is perfect as a gift. ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Ornate Classics are beautifully bound gifts editions of iconic literary works across history. These compact, foil-embossed hardbacks are richly illustrated and printed using deluxe ivory paper.

Karate er et avanceret kampsystem, hvor stød, spark og parader indgår i et velafbalanceret bevægelsesmønster. Dette mønster gør det muligt at mobilisere hele kroppens styrke som drivkraft bag den enkelte karateteknik med blot en brøkdel af et sekunds varsel. Den karakteristiske eksplosive koncentration af kraft, der er så særegen for karate, opnås kun gennem vedholdende og systematisk træning, hvor samtlige teknikker konstant forbedres og rationaliseres. Enhver overflødig bevægelse elimineres for at fremme og forfine motorikken ned til den mindste detalje, så det ultimative mål for funktion og effektivitet realiseres.Den beskrevne karatestil i bogen er Shotokan. Den trænes inden for Denmark Shotokan Karate-Do Federation (D.S.K.F.). Shotokan er den mest udbredte stilart globalt. Den praktiseres og organiseres af et betydeligt antal internationale og nationale karateforbund.Uanset hvor mange af de andre forbund, der påstår at dyrke den mest sande eller autentiske stil, er det tekniske grundlag stort set identisk over hele verden. Små forskelle ses som regel i de forskellige stilarters tolkning af de 26 Katas, der betragtes som fundamentet for hele Shotokan-stilartens tekniske opbygning.Bogen er opsat med farvet baggrund i de tekniske billeder som en af de eneste på markedet. Det gør det meget lettere at se hvordan teknikkerne skal udføres.

Denne bog er en introduktion til Jiu-Jitsu - mest til Selvforsvar.Der er medtaget et bredt udvalg af teknikker. Teknikkerne er udvalgt blandt de teknikker, som begyndere eller let øvede vil kunne fokusere på og få udbytte af næsten med det samme og nogen stykker, der stiller lidt større krav. Teknikkerne er vist i deres basale udgave for at give det bedst mulige udtryk. Igennem længere tids træning lægges flere og flere detaljer på udførelsen og det bliver mere og mere rettet mod effektivitet og mindst mulig brug af styrke med størst muligt udbytte.Som introduktion til Jiu-Jitsu er der valgt at starte med komplette forsvarsteknikker og hvordan de udføres. Det vil sige, at der i hver af disse indgår en lang række elementer fra Jiu-Jitsu til at gennemføre det enkelte forsvar. Selvforsvarsteknikkerne er i indholdsfortegnelsen angivet med angrebet set fra angriberens side. Der er også medtaget en del basis træningselementer for at give et mere komplet billede af Jiu-Jitsu træningens indhold. Disse er placeret i anden halvdel af bogen for fra en start at kunne hoppe ud i det spændende; de komplette forsvar. Basisteknikkerne er angivet med den japanske betegnelse og en dansk oversættelse. De ca. 480 billeder og og den fyldige tekst supplerer hinanden. Et billede siger mere end 1000 ord. Teksten er således et supplement til billederne. Der er naturligvis for forståelighedens skyld et overlap mellem tekst og billeder.

"We all know what it's like to have a "charge" about something. It's a feeling of excitement, fear, sexual arousal, or irritation. But what we don't currently know is how tousecharge for the behaviors we want to create. Charge is a word for the basic life force running through us. This force is crucial if we are to meet the challenges of difficult situations, heal past wounds and traumas, and manage the stress of modern life. Even more, it is essential for understanding how to master your own life force and become all you can be. This book makes an important contribution to the growing field of Energy Medicine, by looking at charge as the interface between mind and body, and the missing ingredient in Mind-Body healing. It brings the reader into a deep intimacy with their own life force, as well as an understanding of how charge runs their relationships, their children, their clients, and patients. It examines how we can become "overcharged" or "undercharged" and how to bring about balance through practices of charging and discharging. Each chapter gives simple exercises to put these principles into practice. World-renowned teacher, somatic therapist, best-selling author, and advanced yoga teacher,Anodea Judith, Ph.D., addresses all this and more in her groundbreaking book on mastering the life force. Taken from her decades of teaching on the subject and her doctoral work in Mind-Body medicine, this book contributes something entirely new to the literature on healing self and others"
