Questo libro non vuole essere solo una esposizione dell'esercizio del Nage no Kata del JUDO, ma una ricerca sul suo senso, sulla sua originale formulazione e sulle variazioni avvenute nel tempo. Per poter fare questo è stato fondamentale consultare gli scritti del 1921 dei Maestri Yamashita, Nagaoka e Murakami , in modo da poter riportare la loro spiegazione del Kata. A completare il libro é stata aggiunta un'introduzione al Kata, la presentazione della forma attuale dell'esercizio e un commento comparativo a cura di Alessio Oltremari. La parte fotografica del libro è stata supervisionata dal Maestro Shiro Yamamoto, 9° dan del Kodokan di Tokyo

"John Bailey's informative and well-researched book, Skye, provides an insight into the magical places to explore and savour on the Isle of Skye" Hugh MacLeod of MacLeod. This is an essential companion for both visitors and locals. Skye is a beautiful island of cliff-rimmed promontories, tranquil sea lochs, rolling moorland and majestic mountains. Add to the breathtaking scenery a brutal and sometimes-bloody history, a land where myths and legends are plentiful, and you have a mysterious, romantic land that, once visited, will remain in your heart forever. Unexpectedly larger than most assume, Skye boasts over 360 miles of diverse, awe-inspiring coastline. The book takes a journey of discovery around this enchanting isle, visiting many of the most surreal landscapes to be found anywhere in the British Isles. Included are historical sites such as Dunvegan Castle, the oldest continually inhabited castle in Britain. Details are noted of the islands past history, the 18th and 19th centuries feature as the most turbulent. Most, if not all, have heard of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his association to Skye; few know how he was pursued by government forces but never betrayed by the Highlanders. For the first-time visitor the book will be invaluable, the sheer diversity of the landscape and historical locations can provide one with a quandary of where to visit. Most come for a week, but I would recommend staying a wee while longer to set aside time to fully appreciate this beautiful isle off the north-west coast of Scotland. The new book will provide you with an excellent summation before you arrive, it will be a precious companion while you are here and a lasting reminder of the beautiful isle when you have departed, almost certain with a yearning to return one day.

Quale mistero si nasconde dietro le loro figure e il loro simbolismo? È questa la domanda cui questo libro si propone di dare una risposta. Un viaggio affascinante e misterioso nel culto mariano meno noto, che si sviluppa nei secoli a partire da antichi culti pagani fino al culto delle Madonne nere. Sono stati localizzati i luoghi di culto della Grande Madre alcuni in superficie, altri sotterranei, perché posti a più stretto contatto con le correnti energetiche telluriche.Proprio dalla Grande Madre che derivano le Vergini Nere, ricomparsa delle potenti dee pagane della sessualità, degli inferi e della sapienza terrena, rappresentano simboli di potere e maestà. Sono stati infine rintracciati i punti di coincidenza tra i luoghi di culto delle Madonne nere, le vie francigene siciliane e il passaggio dei Templari.

The average human being in the developed world battles sadness, anger, stress, depression and worry on a daily basis. While the majority of the world's population confront extreme poverty, famine, conflict and despair those of us privileged to lead relatively easy lives must tackle fear, stress, and anxiety. Why are those of us blessed with riches beyond compare immersed in loneliness and desperation? We are living in a time of confusion, we try as we might, yet gathering material possessions can do nothing to mend broken hearts, and shattered souls.Now, more than at any other time in human kind's history, stress, anxiety, and psychological problems are taking a tremendous toll on the human condition. Religious beliefs should afford a sense of comfort however; it seems that 21st century man has lost the ability to connect to God. Pondering the meaning of life no longer overcomes a feeling of abandonment. This desire to acquire material possessions, which in some way validates our reason for being, has become the balm that soothes our troubled souls. Why is this so?We have the best of everything readily available, yet the reality is we have nothing. Nothing that comforts the soul. Beautiful furnishings do not hold our hand in the darkest night. The latest entertainment centre does not wipe our tears or soothe our furrowed brow. Those of us living with pain and grief, or afflicted with hardship feel abandoned. We feel rudderless on an open sea. Huge waves threaten to engulf us at any given moment. Our desires and debts stand at the apex and loom over us, like great avenging angels, and we search for comfort in addictions and self-destructive behaviour.How do we step away from the precipice? In Islam, the answer is remarkably simple. We turn back to our Creator. God knows what is best for His creation. He has complete knowledge of the human psyche. He knows of the pain, the despair, and the sadness. God is whom we are reaching for in the darkness.

In this unique book, the author reveals for the first time the specific details of the long-held secret knowledge of Kappo - Sappo, the esoteric cure or kill techniques of the ancient jujitsu systems of Japan. By definition, cure or kill means that the same points one stimulates to start a person's heart or breathing that has stopped are the same points one stimulates to stop someone's heart or breathing. The author, who has studied with the most senior teachers of four branches of the Okazaki tradition, presents the extensive collection of the Kappo techniques of the Kodenkan - Dan Zan Ryu jujitsu system of Master Henry Okazaki; he explains in extensive detail more than 53 Kappo techniques, options, and variations, as well as examining the traditions of secrecy that surround this subject. In keeping with the Okazaki example and spirit, he is one of the first teachers to break with the tradition of secrecy surrounding Kappo - Sappo. This knowledge is necessary for all serious students of martial arts, and should be relevant to anyone with an interest in traditional Japanese medicine, trauma medicine, natural cures, restorative medicine, and/or Traditional Chinese Medicine.
