The style of martial arts described in this book is believed to have developed from a form devised at the Shaolin Temple by the Indian monk Bodhidharma. Called Shih-pa lohan shou (Eighteen Arhat Hands), it was the original Lohan form. Its purpose was to provide monks with exercises that would not only strengthen their bodies and minds but also arm them with a formidable system of self-defense. The authors present the Lohan techniques of south China (as taught by the Hood Khar Pai) in both solo and partner practice forms. Intended as a supplement to actual training, Shaolin Lohan Kung-Fu gives the history of the Shaolin arts and then continues with a detailed explanation of the Lohan form. Accompanied by almost 30 sketches and over 400 black-and-white photographs, this straightforward introduction to the Lohan system is a must for any serious student of Shaolin techniques. Chapters include: Background of Shaolin Kung Fu; Fundamentals of Shaolin; The Lohan Pattern; Shaolin Training Methods; and more!

Trade Paperback. Condizione: Fine. Brand, Jude - Cover Design (illustratore). Fifth Printing. 83 Pages with Glossary. This is the second volume in a three-volume treatise on the nature of Wing Chun kung-fu. The broad aim of these books is to present a concise, systematic, and scientific discussion of a somewhat controversial martial-art system. Chinese kung-fu, rightly or wrongly, has often been shrouded in secrecy and mysticism. There is often great vagueness about why skills are as they are, and why techniques work or do not work. Those who adopt a mystical approach to the martial arts are welcome to do so. But for those who do not accept that world view, these books may be what they are looking for. My approach to the martial arts is based upon common sense and an appreciation of biomechanical principles. However, this free thinking does not result in a freestyle approach where often incongruous techniques and approaches are thrown together in the hope of obtaining a coherent, complete, and unified combative art. What I have attempted to do here is to analyze a classical martial-arts system-Wing Chun kung-fu-using Western modes of thinking; namely, through examining it with logic, physics, and biomechanics, but without undue technicalities or the use of mathematics.

Mass Market. Condizione: Very Good. Second Printing. 238 Pages. This was a two day conference on China policy with their opposite numbers presently or recently, in the United States government. Ambassador Ronning of Canada attended as an observer. The report that follows is a distillation of position papers prepared by the participants and of the transcribed record of six protracted working sessions. These are some of the excerpts from the dialogue between leading Japanese legislators and their American counterparts concerned with the fact that in 1970 the Security Treaty under which U. S. forces have eroded a defense shield for a disarmed Japan, comes up for renewal. The issue of Japanese rearmament was raised at a time when, on both sides of the Pacific, there are sharply conflicting attitudes toward China and Taiwan, and the continuing conflict in Southeast Asia enhances the sense of crisis. The critical exchange of among informed and concerned political leaders is interwoven with a review of the interlocking China policy pursued by the two great powers in the aftermath of their own mortal combat. Here is a partial list of the participants: William O. Douglas, Aiichro Fujiyama, Shunich Matsumoto, Arthur Goldberg, Mark Hatfield, and more. Contents in Four Parts: An Isolated China Threat to World Peace, The Making of an Impasse, The Critical Questions A Time for Entrenchment of Opportunity for Modification, and A New Age for Asia.
