This is the first book on the market to cater to two growing
populations, martial artists and baby boomers. Once a blood and
guts sport for tough young men, martial arts is now touted by
athletes, aerobics trainers, actors, super models and soccer mums
as the number one way for adults to get fit and stay in shape. This
book addresses important questions like: How old is too old start a
marital art?; What type of exercises are best (and which ones are
dangerous) for the over-40 martial artist?; What are the effects of
ageing and how can martial arts combat them?; How can baby boomers
keep up in a martial arts class full of gen-Xers?; What types of
injuries are most prevalent after 40 and how can they be prevented?
This book takes a positive and enthusiastic approach to taking up
or continuing a martial art in middle age or later. Readers will be
inspired, reassured and educated.
Teaching: The Way of the Master is the classic text for martial
arts instructors. In a revolutionary approach, Sang H. Kim Ph.D has
blended his extensive knowledge of martial art training with modern
and classical teaching methodology to create a system of teaching
martial arts for the 21st century.
Motivation is the key to success in life, particularly in the
martial arts. Students need motivation to achieve their goals.
Instructors need motivation to give their best to every class. And
more importantly, every instructor must understand the keys to
motivating their students to stay focused and enthusiastic in their
daily workouts. This book is divided into two types of motivation:
the inspiration section, with hundreds of motivational sayings to
inspire you and the application section, with hundreds of specific
things you can do to get motivated or motivate others. It also
includes the theory of motivation and the difference between good
and bad methods of motivating others.
This is a guide to invigorating your internal Ki energy flow
through a unique sequence of 12 movements (MBX-12) targeting the 12
meridian energy channels. MBX-12 brings together mindful movement
and deep breathing to create an active form of moving meditation.
As you learn the exercises that make up the MBX-12 routine, you
will develop an understanding of the mindfulness practice
principles of attention, centring and release. Sang H Kim
introduces the movements of MBX with step-by-step practice
guidance, focal points, self-assessment criteria, wellness
applications and detailed explanations of how mindful movement
influences your inner energy flow. You'll also learn 13 MBX Mudras,
symbolic hand movements that activate the 6 meridians in the hand
and affect energy flow across the body. Throughout the book, short
readings introduce you to the four pillars of energy
transformation: mindfulness, movement, breath, and meridians. For
experienced mind-body practitioners, MBX-12 is an excellent
supplement to other mindful movement practice such as Yoga, Taichi,
and Qigong. MBX-12 integrates your moving body with your breath,
redirects energy flow along the 12 meridians, and unites the mind
with all in the present.
