Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Silurian, Book 2: THE KING OF BATTLES: AN INVINCIBLE COMMADER ARISES Arthur is now Supreme Commander of Armies in Britannia and just about to begin his annihilating South Saxon campaign, leading his army, now known as the Clan Bear, into the south coast weald where the Saxons have made inroads into British territory. On this campaign, Arthur and his young warrior army destroy the Saxons in battle after battle, a ruthless campaign of fire and superior tactics that pushes the Clan Bear to their limits, pushing the Fox into days of battle-madness and wild anguish as he fights and kills in a relentless need to be Arthur's greatest warrior and champion. And yet it is Medraut, Arthur's cousin, who is pushed too hard and too far, as now, traitors sworn to Medraut's side begin to arise from within the ranks of Arthur's army--traitors too small to threaten Arthur's power now. Still unassailable in his rise, the legend of Arthur as an invincible warrior has already begun, and he breaks the Saxons, and returns home victorious; but not without payment to be had. In the aftermath of battle, it is time for the Bear to return to his land of birth, to Siluria, and there seek out the last living souls of his mother's people; those who survive from their battles against Arthur's father, Uthyr Pendragon. Yet going home causes even more troubles for both Arthur and Bedwyr to overcome, troubles that charge the two young warriors into the sinister hearts of traitors, whose rebellion forces the Fox and the Bear to become more than warriors, but killers.

Download or read book The Way of Judo written by John Stevens and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A martial arts biography of the legednary founder of judo, Jigoro Kano, and the colorful coterie of disciples who wanted to carry on his legacy Kodokan judo, one of the most well-known martial arts in the world today, was originated by Jigoro Kano (1860–1938), a martial artist and career educator who developed the art after studying several types of jujutsu, sumo, and Western wrestling. Openness and refinement were hallmarks of his personal and professional style, and he relentlessly searched for the best way to practice, teach, and perform techniques. This biography shows how Kano saw judo as a vehicle not just for self-defense, but for physical, spiritual, and moral development as well. His teachings clearly emphasize his ideal of judo as a way of self-cultivation that leads to physical health, ethical behavior, and ultimately a better society. Kano was a tireless activist who promoted the practical application of judo’s principles in all realms of life—in one’s personal behavior, for education, in work, for economic benefit, and in both the local and international political arenas. Kano’s students were a colorful, sometimes notorious bunch, and this book reveals how several went on to become famous—or infamous—in their own right. They include a prime minister of Japan, the leader of the Communist party in China, a famous novelist, a spy, high-level military leaders, and a media mogul, among many others.
