Shambhala Publications Inc The Essence of Budo: A Practitioner's Guide to Understanding the Japanese Martial Ways
Book SynopsisA guide to the practice, history, and etiquette of budo, the study of Japanese martial arts for self-cultivation—written by an American martial arts master The study of budo, or the Japanese martial arts for self-cultivation, is a lifelong path toward perfection of character. Here, Dave Lowry, a sword master who has practiced and taught budo for over forty years, addresses the myriad issues, vagaries, and inconsistencies that arise for students of karate-do, judo, kendo, kenjutsu, aikido, and iaido as their training develops. He examines such questions as: • What is the relationship between the student and teacher, and what should one expect from the other? • What does rank really mean? • How do you correctly and sensitively practice with someone less experienced than you? • What does practice look like as one ages? • Why do budo arts put such an emphasis on etiquette? • And many others Lowry also gives practical advice for beginning and advanced students on improving structural integrity in posture and movement, focusing under stress, stances and preparatory actions before engaging with an opponent, and recognizing a good teacher from a bad one.

Tokitsu expertly guides the reader through these elusive ideas with clarity and a practical view.

Gotham Books Afternoons with Mr. Hogan: A Boy, a Golf Legend, and the Lessons of a Lifetime
Book SynopsisBen Hogan''s former ball shagger recounts firsthand stories of the golf legend—andreveals, for the first time, Hogan''s Swing Secret, a source of mystery to golfers for more than fifty years.Ben Hogan''s pro golf record is legendary. A four-time PGA Player of the Year, he celebrated sixty-three tournament wins and became known as a man of few words and fewer close friends. Most of what we know about Hogan has been based on myth and speculation. Until now.In the 1960s, though Hogan''s competitive career was over, he kept the practice habits that made him famous and remade modern competitive golf. He hired seventeen-year-old Jody Vasquez to help. Each day, after driving to a remote part of the course at Shady Oaks Country Club, Hogan would spend hours hitting balls and Vasquez would retrieve them. There, and over the course of their twenty-year friendship, Hogan taught Jody the mechanics of his famous swing and shared his thoughts on playing, practicing, and course management—unknowingly revealing much about his character, values, and beliefs, and the events that shaped them.In Afternoons with Mr. Hogan, Jody Vasquez shares dozens of stories about Hogan, from the way he practiced, selected his clubs, and interacted with other star players to his little-known humor and generosity. Combining the gentle insight of Tom Kite''s A Fairway to Heaven (which recalls Kite''s golf education under Harvey Penick) with the sage perspective of Penick''s own Little Red Book, Vasquez''s tribute is funny, poignant, and full of advice for golfers of all levels.

Texas A & M University Press Fishing Yesterday's Gulf Coast
Book SynopsisRenowned fishing guide Barney Farley worked the Texas coastal waters out of Port Aransas for more than half a century. In these stories and reflections, Farley imparts a lifetime of knowledge about fish (silver trout, sand trout, speckled trout, redfish, ling, catfish, jack, kingfish, you name it) and gives advice about how to fish, where to fish, and when to fish. From his perspective in the mid-1960s, Farley was not satisfied simply to lament the disappearance of once-abundant species. He also strongly voiced his views on the need for conservation. 'The importance of Barney Farley's book to conservation and sport fishing, as well as to the economic wellbeing of our Texas and Gulf Coast, cannot be over emphasized' - Dick Conolly, Corpus Christi.
