Shaolin spirit : 12 metoder för självbehärskning

AvShi Heng Yi

Inbunden, Svenska, 2026

249 kr

TIDLÖSA PRINCIPER FÖR ETT BÄTTRE LIV De flesta förknippar Shaolin med fysisk styrka och extrem prestation. Men kärnan i denna 1 500 år gamla tradition handlar om något helt annat: konsten att bemästra sitt inre – och att återknyta kontakten mellan kropp och sinne genom medveten närvaro, disciplin och uthållighet. Shi Heng Yi, grundare av Shaolin Temple Europe, har själv navigerat det moderna livets press och utmaningar. I denna bok översätter han klostrets uråldriga principer till praktiska verktyg för dagens människa. Genom tolv konkreta metoder visar han steg för steg hur vi kan förbättra allt från vår sömn och våra relationer till vår fysiska balans och mentala skärpa. Shaolin erbjuder inte bara uråldrig kunskap och tradition – det är en kraftfull vägledning till självbehärskning och ett mer meningsfullt liv.

Paulus Hector Mair's Ars Athletica Volume I

Longsword

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

To those who study the physical culture of arms in medieval Europe, the German Fechtbücher—treatises on combat arts—are among the most important surviving documentary sources: no other region in Europe produced such an extensive body of writings on the techniques of medieval combat. Among these, the massive compendia commissioned by the scholar-swordsman Paulus Hector Mair (1517-1579) stand out as uniquely ambitious and monumental. The text survives in three manuscript copies, each consisting of two volumes, with each manuscript running to approximately 1200 pages. They include about 17 weapon-forms, from two-handed sword to rapier, armoured combat to sickle and scythe; each form consists of anywhere from 8 to 136 lavishly illustrated techniques, in many cases followed by one or more seminal texts on the form.The combination of text and image in the illustrated techniques offers obvious advantages to the understanding of a physical practice, and Mair is unique among the German masters in systematically giving instructions to both combatants, so that as one learns how to perform a technique, they also learn how to counter it. Lastly, one of the most important features of the Ars Athletica is the Latin translation, which serves as something of a Rosetta stone for interpreting the vocabulary of these long-lost martial arts. In this series, Jeffrey Forgeng, translator of the equally seminal Fechtbücher of Joachim Meyer and Hans Lecküchner, has brought together a team of translator-practitioners to tackle Mair’s opus. Over a decade of work has gone into transcribing, translating and annotating the Ars Athletica (Treatise on the Martial Arts) presenting both the original German and Latin, as well as a modern English translation.Volume One of this series presents the Longsword, which was the traditional centrepiece of the German medieval tradition and provides the core instruction through which all other weapons of the tradition can be understood. In three languages and full-colour illustrations, readers will find a complete curriculum of cuts, thrusts, disarms and grapples; even using the sword as a short spear, which forms the foundation for armoured combat—the subject of a later volume.

Made sometimes of wood, sometimes of leather, occasionally of steel, the Dusack was the training weapon for all single-handed swords. Mair’s Dusack sequences represent one of the earliest surviving treatises on this weapon; the section ends with his redactions of some of the most famous Messer texts of the previous century.

If you are a long-time martial artist, you have likely been either the recipient, the victim – or both – of the "wise old master" phenomenon, whereby budo students reverentially enfold their teachers as martial, moral and mystical juggernauts sans reproach, in which case, this book will make you clench your fists and laugh out loud, often while reading the same sentence. Iconoclastic, rebellious, yet fiercely holding to some of the most traditional values of Japanese martial culture, Amdur brought something new to martial arts writing - a startling honesty about the flaws, not only within martial arts culture, but also within its practitioners, often using himself as an exemplar of the latter.Originally published in 2000, and now fully revised, with eight new chapters, new artwork and photography, Dueling with O Sensei, Revised and Expanded Edition will be an invaluable addition to the library of old readers and new alike.

Fem ringars bok

AvMiyamoto Musashi

Häftad, Svenska, 2013

156 kr

Samurajen Miyamoto Musashi levde i Japan på 1600-talet och blev redan då beryktad som den oövervinnerlige krigaren. Han utkämpade över 60 dueller utan att förlora en enda.

Dagarna innan han dog skrev Musashi ned sina insikter i krigskonsten. Fem ringars bok blev genast en klassiker - inte bara för utövare av kampkonsterna. Även till exempel politiker och affärsmän har studerat boken med stort utbyte, likaså de som är intresserade av österländsk filosofi.

Det är ändå som handledning i kampkonsterna boken är mest ämnad och lämpad - också idag, när kampkonsterna blivit fredliga idrotter. Till den här tolkningen av Fem ringars bok har Stefan Stenudd skrivit omfattande förklaringar och ger många exempel på vad Musashis strategi innebär för moderna utövare av de österländska kampkonsterna.

Stefan Stenudd är författare och har bland annat skrivit en tolkning av den kinesiska klassikern Tao te ching, samt en bok om den japanska kampkonsten aikido. Han har själv tränat aikido och japansk svärdskonst sedan 1972, är numera graderad till 7 dan shihan och aikidoinstruktör i Malmö. Han har även varit ordförande i Svenska Budo & Kampsportsförbundet.

From New York Times bestselling author Grady Hendrix and film historian Chris Poggiali comes a revised and updated edition of their definitive look at how kung fu movie mania came and conquered the United States, featuring expanded sections on superstars such as Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Jet Li, and Donnie Yen; new profiles on iconic film poster artists; and tributes to unsung martial artists.When a Hollywood studio released Five Fingers of Death to thrill-seeking Times Square moviegoers in 1973, only a handful of Black and Asian audience members knew the difference between an Iron Fist and an Eagle's Claw. That changed overnight as Five Fingers kicked off a kung fu craze that would earn millions at the box office, send TV ratings soaring, influence the birth of hip hop, reshape the style of action we see in movies today, and introduce America to some of the biggest Asian stars to ever hit motion picture screens.These Fists Break Bricks offers a lavishly illustrated exploration of how these high-kicking, brick-breaking movies came to America and raised hell until greed, infomercials, and racist fearmongering shut them down. For the first time, the full-and wild-story is told, including how CIA agents secretly funded karate movies and how The New York Times fabricated a fear campaign about Black "karate gangs," as well as the history of Black martial arts in America and the onslaught of Bruce Lee imitators after his death.With a foreword by RZA of the Wu Tang Clan and brand new material on superstars like Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, and Donnie Yen, plus spotlights on unsung performers, film poster artists, and money-laundering film distributors, this revised and expanded edition is a master class in kung fu cinema history.

Treasured for centuries by karate's top masters, the Bubishi is a classic Chinese work on philosophy, strategy, medicine, and technique as they relate to the martial arts.Referred to as the "bible of karate" by famous master Chojun Miyagi, for hundreds of years the Bubishi was a secret text passed from master to student in China and later in Okinawa. All of karate's legendary masters have studied it, applied its teachings, or copied passages from it. No other classic work has had as dramatic an impact on the shaping and development of karate as the Bubishi. Karate historian and authority Patrick McCarthy spent over ten years researching and studying the Bubishi and the arts associated with it. This is the first English translation of this remarkable martial arts manual. A goldmine for researchers and practitioners alike, its pages are filled with notes, explanations and groundbreaking research from McCarthy on Okinawan and Chinese history and the fighting and healing traditions that developed in those countries. For the final word on the true origins and spirit of classic Okinawan martial arts, one need look no further. This karate book is one of the best karate training supplements available. This new paperback edition includes additional commentary from the translator, as well as a new foreword.

Här är mitt liv : från ensamkommande till svensk flykting

AvAli Yusefi

Inbunden, Svenska, 2022

216 kr

Skickas

Som ensamkommande flyktingbarn från kriget i Afghanistan hade jag svårt att sova i mitt rum hos min svenska fostermamma. Men mardrömmarna och ångesten dämpades när jag slog på sandsäcken som hängde i taket. Det skulle visa sig att boxningen gjorde mig till svensk mästare och OS-guld blev min dröm. Jag vill berätta om hur det är att tillhöra en utsatt folkgrupp, att som pojke ensam fly från ett land i krig, att tvingas betala smugglare som betraktar dig som en vara. Att bli inlåst i en mörk källare i Istanbul tills dina släktingar betalat nästa smugglare. Att tro att du ska dö instängd i lådan för reservhjulet på en lastbil i Grekland. Som en främmande fågel landade jag i Sverige. Jag lärde mig språket, gick i skolan, fick jobb och fann en karriär som boxare. Men saker händer som du inte kan förutse, och det går inte alltid som man vill. Jag bröt tummen i en landslagsmatch och sedan dess har jag opererats flera gånger. Men hoppet om OS-guld i boxning lever fortfarande. Varje händelse leder mig in på nya vägar och för mig har en bruten tumme lett mig fram till att jag skrev den här boken.

Ali Yusefi föddes 1995 i Kabul. 15 år gammal flydde han till Sverige. Idag bor han i Sandviken och jobbar på LSS-boende i väntan på att handen ska bli så bra att han kan börja boxas igen. "Här är mitt liv" är hans debut som författare.
