Enkele jaren geleden schreven Wim Boersma en Mario den Edel, ontwerpers van het E-Bo-No-kata (het nationaal Jiu-jitsu-kata), het boek Jiu-jitsu do, dat in korte tijd de nationale en zelfs internationale jiu-jitsuwereld wist te veroveren.  Jiu-jitsu do geeft een overzicht van de exameneisen en voorbeelden van de normen met betrekking tot de kyugraden en de dangraden, de opbouw van het grondkata en de Japanse kata's (Kime-No-kata, Goshin-Jitsu-kata en Stokkata). In het kader van de zelfverdediging...

eenvoudig boek maar dekt de lading... Dit boek beschrijft de basistechnieken die iedere jiu-jitsuka dient de weten. Valtechnieken, worpen, pols en armklemmen worden uitgebeeld tegen een aantal mogelijke aanvalssituaties. Al met al een leuk boek, aanbevolen voor iedere jiu-jitsuka.

George Kirby geeft in dit boek interessante technieken voor de gevorderde Jiu-Jitsuka. Niet alleen de standaard technieken tegen bepaalde pakkingen, omvattingen, atemi's maar uiteraard ook zeer effectieve overname technieken. Effectief aangezien de overnametechniek uiteraard eenvoudig is toe te passen waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van het moment (snelheid+massa) van de verdediger. Het enige minpunt van dit boek is dat er alleen zwart-wit foto's inzitten die niet altijd even duidelijk (scherp) bepaalde details weergeven. Voor de rest een aanbevelenswaardig boek voor iedere Jiu-Jitsuka

Small-Circle Jujitsu is the complete presentation of the system developed by Wally Jay. Bringing together elements from different arts, Jay s broad-based yet focused and effective system incorporates theories, principles and techniques essential to the development of every martial artist, whether a novice or a seasoned veteran. In this definitive instructional text, Jay covers the history of small-circle jujitsu; techniques for warm-ups, falling and resuscitation; details on weaknesses of the human body; locking techniques for wrists, fingers, arms and legs; throwing and choking techniques; and self-defense against strikes, chokes, body grabs and wrist grabs. Jay's system of small-circle jujitsu, based on 50 years of training and teaching experience, works on the premise summarized in his own words: It s not how much you can hurt a person in an altercation but how little you can hurt a person and still control him.

A fascinating study of the human body as both a weapon and target, complete with extensive photo sequences, highly detailed technique breakdowns, and scientifically compiled nerve- and pressure-point charts, this book is an excellent reference and learning resource.

Vital Point Strikes is a guide to pressure point striking for the average martial artist. Sang H. Kim demystifies the lore of vital point striking and shows you realistic applications of vital point strikes for self-defense and combat sports.

The points are illustrated in detail on an anatomically correct human model, with English, Chinese, and Korean names as well as point numbers for easy reference. In addition to identifying the vital points, Sang H. Kim gives you detailed information about the type of techniques that work for vital point striking including a discussion of fighting zones and ranges, plexus strikes, stance and footwork, bodily weapons, striking directions and angles and dozens of applications for common empty hand, grappling, groundfighting, knife and gun attacks. Based on over thirty years experience in the martial arts and in-depth research, Sang H. Kim has created one of the most complete books available on the art and science of vital point striking.

De bijbel van het judo, geschreven door de oprichter van het Kodokan Judo, Jigoro Kano.

Kyuzo Mifune (1883-1965) began Judo as a child, and in 1920 was awarded the highest possible rank of 10th dan - the only man ever to reach this height. Called the god of judo , he was so famous that '10th-Dan' replaced his name! Legend has it that in his sixty years of practice he never lost a match and was never thrown. This book is a totally revised edition. The original was published in 1960, and played a big role in founding the International Judo Association, and in helping judo to become an Olympic sport in 1964. Shortly before his death Mifune revised his work. This new edition includes the revisions as well as corrections.

The author was a 3-times Olympic Judo champion in his youth, and became the chief instructor of Kodokan - the official Judo headquarters. This book is the successor to the perennial bestseller Kodokan Judo , by the founder Jigoro Kano, and contains full descriptions of all 67 throws, with variations and practice guides. In addition, the author details the origins of some techniques using old and rare photos of Kano in action. Destined to be a classic and a must for all judo practitioners.

Het komt geregeld voor dat judoka's die eenmaal de zwarte band hebben behaald, uitgekeken raken op het judo, omdat ze alleen de bekende lesstof blijven herhalen. Dit vernieuwende boek met dvd laat zien dat je judo zelf interessant kunt maken! Door te stoeien, knutselen en experimenteren op de judomat kun je jezelf als gevorderde judoka blijven inspireren. De auteurs van dit boek zijn hier een voorbeeld van. Door gebruik te maken van een flinke dosis creativiteit gecombineerd met een degelijke basiskennis en een gezond verstand, zijn de auteurs van dit boek erin geslaagd om een nieuw 'kata' samen te stellen. In het traject naar hun derde dan-examen, hebben de auteurs een 'kata' ontworpen van hikomi-technieken (staande kanteltechnieken). Deze technieken zijn nog vrij onbekend binnen zowel het recreatieve als het wedstrijdjudo, terwijl de meeste van deze technieken niet verboden zijn in een wedstrijd en een aantal ervan zeer effectief kan zijn. Bekijk de dvd en ga experimenteren! Probeer alle technieken uit en onthoud die welke voor jou effectief kunnen zijn! Met dit boek hopen de auteurs de gevorderde judoka uit te dagen om door creatief met judo om te gaan, zichzelf te blijven inspireren voor het judo.

Product Description
When you think of a cane, do you think of an elderly person walking down the street, using the "stick" as a crutch? When author Octavio Ramos Jr. sees a cane, he sees a hard-hitting self-defense weapon with a crook and horn capable of incapacitating any opponent within a matter of seconds. This book teaches the art of one of the most unexpected self-defense tools ever created. Carried anywhere--into almost any situation--the cane rarely attracts undue attention...until you need it to.

From the Publisher
Here's what Master Ron Geoffrion, 6th dan (President and Chairman of the World Tae Kwon Do Association, New Mexico Schools) says of Raising Cane: "An unfortunate aspect of our society is that the criminal element most often attacks individuals that are perceived as weak (i.e., women, children, the aged, and the disabled). The techniques explained in this book by Mr. Ramos would not only be effective but, in some cases, devastating and deadly. An elderly person or someone who is resigned to carrying a cane for a physical impairment could take this book, practice the exercises Mr. Ramos suggests, train and condition as specified in Section 5, and become quite capable of defending themselves from assault."

All-round Budo 'The Yoseikan method' is een boek waarin de veelzijdigheid van het Yoseikan met behulp van veel foto's duidelijk in beeld wordt gebracht. Yoseikan is ontstaan doordat de grondlegger Minoru Mochizuki Shihan, technieken en principes uit diverse budodisciplines heeft samengevoegd. Als directe leerling van de grondleggers van het Judo, Aikido en Karate, heeft Minoru Mochizuki Shihan de ontwikkeling van het budo van zeer dichtbij meegemaakt. De huidige Soke (opvolger) van de Yoseikan-school, Hiroo Mochizuki Shihan, heeft het Yoseikan verder ontwikkeld en zet de lijn van zijn vader verder voort.

Dit werk biedt een grote diversiteit aan onderwerpen: Yoseikan-Aikido/ju-jutsu, Yoseikan-Freestyle met stoot-, trap- en werptechnieken, het omgaan met wapens, grondwerk en zelfverdediging. Auteur Edgar Kruyning Sensei, budoexpert bij uitstek en hoog gegradueerd in veel disciplines, heeft zijn opleiding in Japan genoten onder leiding van hoog gegradueerde leraren zoals Minoru Mochizuki Shihan en is nu zelf een autoriteit in de budowereld. All-round Budo 'The Yoseikan method' is toegankelijk voor alle budoliefhebbers omdat het een praktisch boek is waarin veel technieken met behulp van foto's, van hoge kwaliteit, duidelijk en uitvoerig beschreven worden.

In Dynamic Budo Deel II laat de auteur vanuit de diverse disciplines zoals o.a. Judo, Aikido, Free-style en Yoseikan zien hoe de technieken in een constante beweging ('one flow') uitgevoerd, gecombineerd en overgenomen kunnen worden.  In het hoofdstuk Kijk op Budo worden o.a. thema's behandeld zoals Randori, tactiek, combinaties, overnames en een totale Budo-benadering.

Dit is dan ook opnieuw een praktisch boek waarin, naast een stuk theorie, vele technieken uitvoerig en gedetailleerd beschreven worden. De technieken worden rijkelijk geïllustreerd met meer dan 1500 foto's. Dat de Budo-technieken in de praktijk echt kunnen werken blijkt uit het extra hoofdstuk Zelfverdediging in de praktijk. De doelstelling van Dynamic Budo is om een brug te slaan tussen de verschillende disciplines. Door in één boek verschillende disciplines te presenteren kun je ontdekken wat er nog meer mogelijk is op Budo-gebied en zien dat er naast de verschillen ook veel overeenkomsten zijn tussen diverse stijlen en dat ze elkaar zelfs kunnen verrijken.
