Wado Ryu Karate/Jujutsu is the third book by master martial arts instructor, Mark Edward Cody. This volume explores the origins, techniques and kata of one of Japan's most traditional martial arts. This is the first book to examine all seventeen kata of the system and is one of the few existing texts written by a native English speaker. Unlike other works on the subject, kata movement is explained in precise detail. The reader is given clear, systematic instruction in the direction, execution and technique of kata movement. Cody chronicles the traditions of Wado Ryu in light of the necessity for innovation and combat effectiveness in the propagation and evolution of ancient fighting systems. Wado Ryu Karate/Jujutsu embodies the ancient martial principle to "Absorb that which is useful". Hironori Ohtsuka created the Wado system by blending the best aspects of Shotokan Karate with Shindo Yoshin Ryu Jujutsu. Following the Founder's example, Cody draws upon his knowledge of Filipino Combat Systems and other arts in his analysis of this Traditional Japanese Fighting Art.
Filipino Combat Systems chronicles the creation, evolution and core concepts of one of the fastest growing martial arts in the world. It overcomes the shortcomings inherent in martial art instruction manuals by focusing not on technique, but on the strategy and philosophy of movement behind the technique. Written by a first generation student under the authority and supervision of the system’s Founder and Grand Master, this work is an excellent introduction to the system. FCS is one of the most practical combat oriented martial systems in existence, bridging the gap between the ancient fighting arts and the modern world.
He was told that his physical limitations would make the study of the martial arts an impossibility... He became a world renowned martial arts master... He was told that he would not be able to walk past his fortieth year... And still HE STANDS... Being a "warrior" is not just about "being able to fight well". Being a warrior is all about being willing to fight for the people and the causes you care about. Being a warrior is all about Loving people. This is a story of the power of Will and the power of LOVE. This is Stoney's message, "We save ourselves by saving the world. We save the world by one kind word, one kind deed, one selfless act... The power of Love holds back the gates of Hell. What is Hell, if not the place where there is no LOVE? I remember the first thing I ever said about Larry Stone... "That guy doesn't know he is handicapped does he?" That was three decades ago, and I still have not come up with a better summary of this man's life." Mark Edward Cody "The spirit that Stoney presents is encouraging and uplifting. His message will inspire individuals to new levels of success and to live life to its fullest". Robert A. Rohm, Ph D "I am amazed and deeply impacted by Stoney's remarkable life story. He has risen above his challenging circumstances with honor and with a level of determination that inspires me to do more, be more and live life for the moment. Bravo Stoney!" Casey Comden, Author and Motivational Speaker
In this timely and fascinating account of US military power in the era of Barack Obama, a renowned historian with more than a decade inside the US Department of Defense reveals the true nature of the president’s political legacy as his two terms in office draw to a close. In stunning detail, Mark Moyar illustrates how the mounting global catastrophes of Obama’s second term are the direct result of the president’s first-term decisions to shrink US defense and replace large overseas military commitments with “light footprints.” The rise of ISIS. The Benghazi attack and murder of a US ambassador. The growing threats of Russia, China, and Iran—Moyar reveals how these and other tragic occurrences are the consequences of Obama’s: -Withdrawal of US military in Iraq -Rapid drawdown in Afghanistan -Hands-off policy with Syria -Cuts to defense spending -Reliance on drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia -Failure to deliver on his substitutes for military power -Political self-interest -International image as a weak and passive leader Most disturbing, according to Moyar’s penetrating analysis, is the clear message that Obama’s military drawdown places all Americans at risk, with conditions primed for future cataclysms at home and abroad. Drawing upon the lessons of Obama’s strategic failures, Moyar identifies methods for recovering and strengthening US national security in the years—and the administrations—to come.
