Health Longevity and the Martial Arts

Edmund A. Cruz

Sinopsis

There are many exercise programs out there to choose from; however, choosing martial arts as that exercise venue is a big decision. As in all sports, dedication and discipline are required in your chosen sport to become good. In choosing the martial arts as your pursuit, that dedication and discipline is at a very high standard. It becomes a lifetime devotion which is geared towards a code of honor, a creed to follow, and responsibility to carry your skills to a higher human level. This book is not just about martial arts or about you making a survival choice regarding a self-defense endeavor; it is also about life and longevity as well as how to stay and maintain that state of physical well-being. This maintenance or balance formulates the essence of “Taijiquan” the philosophical concept for both its defense training and its health benefits. I hope in reading this book it will help you to choose wisely.

What would happen if the masters of different martial art’s academies join forces to devise one master form of martial arts? This should include all the martial arts systems, styles, philosophies, and functionalities and to embrace the hidden secrets of their individual styles and formulate one master super self-defense universal system that is all incorporating and encompassing. A structure in which entails the very essence of human survival. This new system of martial arts would maintain the subsistence for the sacredness and protection of our evolutionary way. This “way” is the continuation of the human-species. Longevity depends on maintaining your survival skills and survival skills depend on maintaining your health. It is all tied together and there is no separation of these factors. This book is about that; to maintain and live a healthy and long life through the use of the martial arts format. I called the union above “The Yoda System.”

80 20 Triathlon - Discover the...

Matt Fitzgerald, David Warden

A breakthrough program for triathletes—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—showing how to balance training intensity to maximize performance—from a fitness expert and elite coachCutting-edge research has proven that  triathletes and other endurance athletes experience their greatest  performance when they do 80 percent of their training at low intensity  and the remaining 20 percent at moderate to high intensity. But the vast  majority of recreational triathletes are caught in the so-called  "moderate-intensity rut," spending almost half of their time training  too hard—harder than the pros. Training harder isn't smarter; it  actually results in low-grade chronic fatigue that prevents recreational  athletes from getting the best results.In 80/20 Triathlon,  Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden lay out the real-world and scientific  evidence, offering concrete tips and strategies, along with complete  training plans for every distance—Sprint, Olympic, Half-Ironman, and  Ironman—to help athletes implement the 80/20 rule of intensity balance.  Benefits include reduced fatigue and injury risk, improved fitness, increased motivation, and better race results.

Gibby - Tales of a Baseball Lifer

John Gibbons, Greg Oliver

A captivating and candid memoir from one of the most beloved and colorful figures in Toronto Blue Jays history
		 
Over 11 years and two separate managerial stints with the Toronto Blue Jays, John Gibbons endeared himself to fans with his folksy manner and his frequent battles with umpires: “Here comes Gibby!” Winning helped too. Under Gibbons’s management, the Jays made the American League Championship Series in 2015, ending a 22-year playoff drought; then they did it again in 2016. Along the way the team defied odds, won over a nation, and with one flip of a bat produced one of the most iconic moments in MLB history. Now, in his memoir, Gibby shares the story: an on-field career that didn’t pan out, but a managing career that did … eventually.
		 
Raised in a military family, he played his first competitive baseball in Newfoundland and Labrador, and, with the family now in San Antonio, Texas, Gibby, a catcher, developed into a first-round draft pick of the New York Mets. While Gibbons only played 18 major league games, he did earn a World Series ring as the 1986 Mets bullpen catcher and knew all the characters from that team, including Doc Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Lenny Dykstra, and Gary Carter. In 1990, Gibby began his journey as a coach and manager. An old teammate, J.P. Ricciardi, hired him to work with the Jays, and he moved his way up the ranks and into the hearts of baseball fans.
