only one of its kind! AIKIDO TSHIRT - FOR THE MARTIAL ARTIST Aikido The Japanese word Aikido is written in three characters: Ai (harmony), Ki (spirit or energy), Do (the path or way). Roughly translated Aikido means "the way of the spirit of harmony. The way of harmony with the universe." What is Aikido? Aikido is a true budo, or Martial Way that evolved in the historic tradition of Japanese warrior arts. Aikido often described as "moving Zen", is a martial art that focuses on effectiveness against attack as well as harmony of spirit and is sometimes called the "gentle martial art." Aikido is known for its graceful techniques and swift effortless movements that fling an attacker through the air or immobilize and control him with subtle pressure applied as joint locks. Aikido movements are greatly influenced by the sword, stick and spear. The techniques are very fluid circular movements that blend and harmonize with the attack rather than confronting it thus turning an aggressive linear attach into a circular motion that renders attackers helpless. The aim of Aikido is not to harm an attacker, but to blend with and capture an opponent's aggressive actions and neutralize them. Properly executed, Aikido techniques convince an attacker that violence will not work. Studied in earnest, Aikido is more than a science of tactics and self-defense: it is a discipline for perfecting the spirit. Basic T-Shirt, White, Adult L

The 36 Secret Strategies of the Martial Arts is a collection of ancient Chinese maxims that encapsulate some of the Far East's most cunning tactics for battle and deception. Each of these strategies represents a distilled nugget of Chinese wisdom. In the early 1980s, Hiroshi Moriya, an acknowledged authority on Chinese culture and philosophy, published a book in Japanese in which he analyzed and explained these strategies; then he used examples from ancient and recent history to further elucidate their meaning. Now, renowned translator William Scott Wilson makes The 36 Secret Strategies accessible to today's reader with his new English translation of both the Chinese maxim itself and Moriyas interpretive work.The volume is organized into six parts (Strategies for Victory in Battle, Strategies for Engaging the Enemy, Strategies for Attack, Strategies for Confused Fighting, Strategies for Unified Battle and Strategies for a Lost Battle) with six chapters in each. Many of the ideas presented will be familiar; but Wilson makes their meaning even more readily understandable by assigning short, pithy titles to each of the thirty-six chapters Borrow a Sword to Make Your Kill, If You Want to Take It, Leave It Alone, Stir Up the Water, Catch the Fish, Send Them to the Roof, Remove the Ladder, and so on.While these strategies offer a look into the past, they are even more valuable to todays reader for providing insights into contemporary China. And, like such other classics as The Book of Five Rings and The Art of War, The 36 Secret Strategies gives the businessman, the diplomat, the politician, the military strategist, and the sports competitor keys to understanding, interpreting and countering the actions of even the most daunting opponent.
