Excerpt: Jeet Kune Do (Chinese: , Cantonese: Jitkyùndou, Jyutping: Zit6 Kyun4 Do6, Pinyin: Jiéquándào lit. "Way of the Intercepting Fist," also "Jeet Kun Do","JKD," or "Jeet Kuen Do") is a hybrid martial arts system and life philosophy founded by Bruce Lee in 1967 with direct, non classical and straightforward movements. Jeet Kune Do is primarily an open hand system. The system works on the use of different 'tools' for different situations. These situations are broken down into ranges (Kicking, Punching, Trapping and Grappling), with techniques flowing smoothly between them. Also, it is referred to as a "style without style". Unlike more traditional martial arts, Jeet Kune Do is not fixed or patterned, and is a philosophy with guiding thoughts. In 2004, the Bruce Lee Foundation decided to use the name Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do () to refer to the martial arts system that Lee founded. "Jun Fan" was Lee's Chinese given name, so the literal translation is "Bruce Lee's Way of the Intercepting Fist." Jeet Kune Do (JKD) is the name Bruce Lee gave to his combat system and philosophy in 1967.

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Kalarippayattu (Malayalam കളരിപയറ്റ്, pronounced ) is an Indian martial art from Kerala, South India. Possibly one of the oldest fighting systems in existence, it is practiced in Kerala and contiguous parts of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka as well as northeastern Sri Lanka and among the Malayalee community of Malaysia. This martial art was practiced primarily by the martial castes like Nairs of Kerala. The word is spelled variously as kalari payat, kalarippayatta, kalaripayatt and many others depending on the dialect and romanisation system used. It includes strikes, kicks, grappling, preset forms, weaponry and healing methods. Regional variants are classified according to geographical position in Kerala; these are the northern style, the southern style and the central style. Northern kalari payat is based on the principle of hard technique, while the southern style primarily follows the soft techniques, even though both systems make use of internal and external concepts. Some of the choreographed sparring in kalari payat can be applied to dance and kathakali dancers who knew martial arts were believed to be markedly better than the other performers. Some traditional Indian dance schools still incorporate kalari payat as part of their exercise regimen. The term kalari payittru is a tatpurusha compound from the words kalari (Malayalam:കളരി) meaning school or gymnasium and payattu (Malayalam:പയററ്) derived from p...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ...

Excerpt: Mahjong (Chinese: ; pinyin: má jiàng) is a game for four players that originated in China. A Korean variation allows for three players as well as some variations in Japan and Malaysia. It is known as three player mahjong. By far, the most common form of mahjong is that played by exactly four players. Mahjong involves skill, strategy, and calculation, as well as a certain degree of luck (depending on the variation played, luck can be anything from a minor to a dominant factor in winning). In Asia, mahjong may also popularly played as a gambling game (though may just as easily be played for fun). The stakes can be low, to keep the game interesting and competitive, or can be very high. High stakes may result in aggressive gambling and social just as poker can...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=19496 ... Read more

Product Description
El Jeet Kune Do es un sistema creado entre 1960 y 1973, año en que murió su fundador. Literalmente quiere decir 'el camino del puño interceptor', a lo que añadía Bruce Lee 'o pie que intercepta'. Es un arte de lucha personal, individualizado, creado por una persona que quiso liberarse de ataduras y encasillamientos. Constituye un largo camino de experimentación, un proceso durante el cual Bruce Lee ensayó y experimentó con diferentes estilos de lucha. Son, en resumen, las experiencias de una gran persona con un talento y una habilidad que fue desarrollando a lo largo de toda su vida. No es un sistema de defensa, sino, como diría su fundador, <>. Bruce Lee lo definía como un estilo simple, directo y no clásico. Todo lo que no encaje con ello no estaría dentro de la estructura del Jeet Kune Do. ... Read more
