E-books,
why
not just regular books?:
|
There
are several good reasons why so called electronic books can
be a great alternative to the ordinary paper
book. The main reason is that they can be delivered
in digital form by e-mail, web, FTP, CD etc. This
means that the book can be delivered almost instantly.
Another great benefit is that they can be updated and
built upon. For more on this topic, got to this
page (click
here!).
|
In
addition to reading up on e-books, do make
sure you have a look
at all the free stuff inside
'The
Martial Arts Vault'!
|
|
Below
you will find e-books on various topics and a brief
description of each book. Click on each item if you
wish to learn more. If you don't find anything on audio-books
here, the reason is that they have
their own page: martial
arts audio-books. And of coures, if
you're not
interested in e-books: go to the the regular
books page instead!

Conflict
management e-books:
|
|
Conflict
Management can be seen as "verbal self-defense".
As such it is a valuable set of tools for anyone who
want to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of violence,
who are into teaching or training martial
arts, or who are in a line of work where people may
use threats, intimidation, verbal aggression, "foul
play", bullying etc.
|
|
|
This
great book is written by an Englishman: Robert Agar-Hutton.
He has a background
from martial arts (karate and tai
chi).
|
| "How
to Deal With Verbal Aggression" is a work book, and
as such a great way to learn these skills properly,
in a step-by-step manner.
|
| Here he discusses (amongst other
things) various ways in which we express anger,
and how to deal with it. The
book takes an exciting look at the principles of
Cybernetics, how to ask correct and non-aggressive
questions, the fight or flight responses, and much
more.

As
a teacher I for one know that we can need
all the help we can get! The education
never stops, that's for sure! There are
several books that I recommend
on the topic. You can rest assured that I won't recommend
any book that I don't like and that
I don't find useful.

Keith
Pascal is a teacher by profession,
as well as a martial arts
instructor. In this book
he draws on his vast experience
to help others become better
at teaching martial arts.
|
| Don't
let yourself be fooled
by the cover of this book
(it looks not too professional..),
because this is a very good
product!
|
| He
has a lot of great advice
and methods to offer,
and he stresses that there
is no magic involved, just
sound and proven principles.
|
I
can recommend this book
to anyone who wishes to
improve their teaching (or
training) skills. Go to
Kerwin Benson Publishing
(click
here) to read more.
You'll find it under "Products".

Self-defense/martial
arts e-books:
|
|
|
|
In
this book Rod Turner has
some interesting takes on
chi (ki), as well as other
topics like mental training,
(visualization), affirmations,
fear (fight or flight response),
and handling fear.
|
| He
discusses the ideal of the
Martial Arts and some of
the arts involved (karate,
taekwondo, judo, jujitsu
etc.). The author gives
som valuable advice on nutrition
and liquids, as well as
on practical self-defense.
|
| All
in all this is abook that
cover many topics, but don't
go too deep on any of them.
It is a great book for the
beginner or intermediate
student. Anyone who has
been doing this for many years
may have heard some or all
of this before though.

Here,
yours truly has set out
to show (preferably once
and for all), that women
can defend themselves against
male aggressors - and that
is even before they have
done any martial arts or
selfdefense training!
|
| Men
like to believe that females
need us to "protect
them". Funny, since
we are also the aggressor...
Talk about putting the fox
to guard the hen-house :-)
|
| Sure,
most men are not rapists
and predators, but that's
beside the point here. Our
ladies are most of the times
more than capable of
taking care of themselves!
|
|
Our "job" should
be to
support them, to help them
install (or rather bring
out!) that warrior mentality
which is a human trait
(not a male trait!), and
also to teach them how to
fight back more effectively
- IF they ask for help...
|
|
This
book series shows hundreds upon
hundreds (tousands actually)
of short success
stories about women who
fought back - mentally,
verbally, physically. It
is updated on a regular
basis, and is a great resource
for anyone interested in
the topic! Volume eleven is
now under way. Read

Can Defend Themselves!
