It was the culmination of a lifelong devotion to the jujutsu of the past, which he reorganized while taking great care to retain its classical traditions. Historically, martial arts were practiced only by the elite in Japan. Kano, a renowned educator as well as a sportsman, is credited with popularizing the martial arts, and in particular, judo, among people in all levels of society.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen he was young, Kano studied jujutsu, a martial art practiced in Japan since feudal times, which involved throwing, hitting, kicking, stabbing, slashing, choking, bending and twisting limbs - and defenses against these attacks. After years of studying, he realized that although many different jujutsu techniques were taught, there was no one core value holding them together. Kano identified an all-pervasive principle - to make the most efficient use of mental and physical energy - and combined only those techniques in which this principle was correctly applied into modern judo. \"Ju\" means gentleness or giving way. \"Do\" means principle or the way. Judo, therefore is the Way of Gentleness, which implies that first giving way leads to ultimate victory. The Kodokan is literally, \"the school for studying the Way.\" This book is a collection of Kano's essential teachings, selected and compiled from his wealth of writings and lectures spanning a period of fifty-one years. Today the International Judo Federation has 187 member countries and regions. As an official sport of the Olympic Games, judo has inspired young people of all nationalities, and Kodokan is universally recognized as the Mecca of Judo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warrior Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48984025563353,"sku":"9781568364971","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2688\/9689\/files\/9781568364971.jpg?v=1784604543"},{"product_id":"book-sun-tzus-art-of-war-for-women-by-catherine-huang-a-d-rosenberg","title":"Book: Sun Tzu's Art of War for Women by Catherine Huang \u0026 A.D.

Earle chronicles Tempu’s origins in the samurai tradition, his genius for martial arts, and his work in Manchuria as a spy during the Russo-Japan War of 1904–1905. He relates how, after escaping a Russian firing squad, Tempu contracted tuberculosis; how he embarked on a search for a cure that led to the halls of Columbia University, the salons of Paris, and the foothills of the Himalayas, where he practiced yoga under the tutelage of an Indian guru; and how he not only regained his health but also underwent a spiritual transformation. This transformation laid the groundwork for the secular and practical methodology for self-realization and the cultivation of will that Tempu developed and disseminated to the sick and socially disenfranchised, as well as to princes and prime ministers. Over the course of nine decades, Tempu’s philosophy of mind-body unification has charted a clear and accessible path to mastery over hardship and the ability to meet life’s challenges head-on. Yet, the man, his story, his teachings, and his legacy remain almost unknown outside of Japan—until now.

In Deciphering Sun Tzu, Derek Yuen seeks to reclaim for the reader the hidden contours and lost Chinese and Taoist con- texts of Sun Tzu's renowned treatise \u003ci\u003eThe Art of War\u003c\/i\u003e, a literary classic and arguably one of the most influential books ever written. He also explains its historical, philosophical, strategic, and cross-cultural significance. His comprehensive analysis of Sun Tzu, based on close reading of the Chinese sources, also reconstructs the philosophy, Taoist methodology and worldview that effectively form the cornerstones of Chinese strategic thinking, which are arguably as relevant today as at any moment in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"29vdf\"\u003eYuen's innovative reading and analysis of Sun Tzu within and from a Chinese context is a new way of approaching the strategic master's main concepts, which he compares with those of Clausewitz, Liddell-Hart and other Western strategists. Deciphering Sun Tzu offers illuminating analysis and contextualisation of The Art of War in a manner that has long been sought by Western readers and opens new means of getting to grips with Chinese strategic thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"8k01m\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e‘\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeciphering Sun Tzu\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e is by far the best book on the subject in years. … Yuen argues that the only way to read Sun Tzu is to understand the philosophical, historical, and cultural context behind \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Art of War\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e. … Yuen’s work reveals that Sun Tzu’s treatise needs to be seen in the context of statecraft as a broader cultural artifact rather than in the narrower context of war or strategy’. — Rob Johnson, Director of the Changing Character of War Program, Oxford University, in \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe American Interest\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"ar0bd\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e‘Yuen puts Sun Tzu in context, identifying his debts to Chinese philosophy (particularly Taoism), providing historical background, guiding the reader through the key themes in his work, explaining common interpretations of it, and detailing its reception in the West.
