Luiz Otavio Laydner, Barbara Makant, John Tabor, "With the Back on the Ground: From the Early Japanese in America to MMA - How Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Developed" English | 2014 | ASIN: B00N1BX9NU | 424 pages | AZW3 | 0.43 MB It wasn't likely, without the benefit of hindsight, anyone in the crowd at McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado, that 12th of November 1993 had a clue that they were witnessing history in the making. The modest audience attending UFC 1 was certainly surprised as they left the venue. Partly the surprise had to do with the violence they'd just seen, real human combat, with no rules or limits, mutually agreed to by contestants caged into a fenced enclosure. But that sense of surprise was also due to how easily the tournament winner dispatched his adversaries. The time his three fights lasted in all: five minutes, less than two rounds of a professional boxing bout. They'd have been more surprised still had they known the champion wasn't even in the top tier of his art's practitioners back in his homeland. With Royce Gracie's victories at the subsequent events the community of martial arts scholars became acquainted with what is now known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but at the time wasn't yet called by that name. Naturally, analysis of this phenomenon brought with it controversy. What ensued was an intense "battle for legitimacy" where experts in an array of martial arts sought, to no avail, to come to a consensus on just what Brazilian jiu-jitsu is, what the Gracies' role in its development was, etc... Truth is, it is a modern day expression of an ancient philosophy of combat. Its initial success was the consequence of a process that began 90 years prior, when a group of Japanese martial artists brought judo to America and over the course of years unconsciously adapted their techniques to deal with the problem at hand when they were repeatedly challenged by American wrestlers who were almost invariably bigger and stronger. The natural consequence of this was the development of a style of fighting that would respect the natural physiology of humans, and a peculiar combat philosophy. The outcome of this philosophy of pursuing superiority led to the creation of vale-tudo in 1930s Rio de Janeiro. That was the starting point of the timeline in which Brazilian jiu-jitsu developed, quite unmethodically mixing combat in the gi, no-gi and "valendo tudo," or "anything goes." At several points the art came close to extinction or being absorbed by judo, escaping this fate mainly because of the obstinacy of Hélio Gracie. From the '30s onwards Brazilian jiu-jitsu Descriptionted a path of near total isolation, restricted to a small number of practitioners but preserving the original combat philosophy, a still frame of an era on its way to forgottenness. Until it captured the world's attention on November 12, 1993. How this process unfolded, that is the aim of this book.

McCormack English | 1 Sept. 2022 | ISBN: 1800812191 | True EPUB | 320 pages | 0.6 MB Between the theories of business school and the real world of business, there is still a gap - one that can only be filled by experience, helped by the knowledge of someone who has already done it.  Vulnerabilities, Challenges and Risks in Applied Linguistics By Clare Cunningham (editor), Dr. Christopher J. Hall (editor) 2021 | 510 Pages | ISBN: 1788928229 | PDF | 2 MB The chapters in this book call attention to vulnerabilities, challenges and risks for applied linguistics researchers and the communities they work with across a broad range of contexts from the Global North and South, and in both signed and spoken languages. Together they provide insights on both academic and professional practice across several areas: the vulnerabilities involved in researching, the limitations of traditional epistemologies, the challenges inherent in the repertoire of methodologies and pedagogies employed by applied linguists, and the effectiveness of practical responses to language-related problems. The book encourages those involved in applied linguistics to consider their own practice and their relationship with the communities, policies and educational contexts they engage with in the course of their teaching, research and activism.

Carol Fisher Sorgenfrei, "Unspeakable Acts: The Avant-garde Theatre of Terayama Shuji and Postwar Japan" English | 2005 | ISBN: 0824827961 | 335 pages | EPUB | 2.1 MB Terayama Shuji (1935-1983) was one of postwar Japan's most gifted and controversial playwrights/directors. Since his death more than twenty years ago, he has been transformed into a cult hero in Japan. Despite this notoriety, Unspeakable Acts is the first book in any language to analyze the theater of Terayama in depth. It interrogates postwar Japanese culture and theater through the creative work of this unique yet emblematic artist. By situating Terayama in his historical milieu and by using tools derived from Japanese and Western theories of psychoanalysis, anthropology, sociology, gender studies, and aesthetics, Carol Fisher Sorgenfrei has woven a sophisticated and provocative study.  Unlock The Sales Game: New Trust-Based Selling Strategies To Finally Create Your Sales Breakthrough By Ari Galper 2015 | 120 Pages | ISBN: 1511518588 | EPUB | 1 MB "Ari Galper's Unlock The Game is the greatest sales breakthrough in the last 20 years." Brian Tracy, Founder of Brian Tracy International Stop selling, start creating trust. If you flick through the pages of typical sales books and sales training material, you will find a constant flow of sales messages like, "Focus on closing the sale", "Overcome objections", "Be relentless", "Accept rejection as a normal part of selling", "Use persuasion to get useful information about your prospects", and "Chase the sale". In short, get the sale at the expense of the human relationship. For the customer, this approach is transparent and all too familiar. Crossing social boundaries and adding pressure to the sales process makes it a gut-wrenching and painful process. There is a much better way to succeed in selling - moving away from the hidden agenda of focusing on making the sale to a place of complete trust and authenticity. When you arrive at this place, it opens up a whole new world of sales opportunities for you and your business. In other words, when you stop "selling" and start building authentic relationships based on trust, authenticity and integrity, the possibilities are endless. Ari Galper, The World's #1 Authority on Trust-Based Selling, and founder of Unlock The Game, the most successful trust-based selling approach adopted by thousands of business owners and sales consultants worldwide, has dramatically changed the way millions of sales transactions are made today. In his new book "Unlock The Sales Game", he directly challenges all the selling "rules" that are considered status quo thinking among most small and large businesses and provides a new and authentic sales mindset -- along with his very powerful trust-based languaging -- that is taking the sales world by storm.

Cecil Murphey, "Unleash the Writer Within: The Essential Writers' Companion " English | ISBN: 1942356242 | 2015 | 200 pages | EPUB | 1036 KB Beloved author Cecil (Cec) Murphey says, "The best kind of writing occurs when it comes from the heart. It's called being authentic or transparent. Too many writers have an insatiable need to be accepted, liked, or admired, and those needs become more important than being true to their convictions. Be you when you write." |
