Sinossi

Graham B. Forbes' "The Boys of Columbia High on the Ice: or, Out for the Hockey Championship" stands as a compelling entry in the early 20th-century sports fiction canon, often characterized by its combination of thrilling athleticism and moral growth. Set against the backdrop of competitive high school hockey, the narrative captures the camaraderie and challenges faced by young athletes striving for greatness. Forbes employs a straightforward yet engaging prose style, replete with vivid descriptions of ice hockey action and the emotional stakes involved, making it accessible to a younger audience while appealing to adult readers who appreciate nostalgia for simpler times. Forbes, influenced by his own experiences and the significance of sports in shaping youthful identity, taps into the zeitgeist of early 1900s America—a period marked by burgeoning interest in organized sports and their role in community life. With a background likely steeped in both athletics and literary pursuits, Forbes crafts a narrative that not only entertains but also imparts valuable lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and the spirit of competition. I highly recommend "The Boys of Columbia High on the Ice" to readers of all ages who appreciate a tale of ambition and friendship. This book is a window into a bygone era of school spirit and sporting valor, reflecting the timeless nature of youth sports and their ability to forge lasting bonds.

    This book is about fighting, learning and studying people. 
    It’s sports psychology applied. It's about personal growth through sports, based on my training in different striking and grappling disciplines for 30 years. 
    Some say you can learn more life lessons from martial arts than from documentaries and journalists’ reports.Why fight and what can I get from it? How much effort is it worth?Can I become better and fulfilled through fighting?How to learn combat efficiently? Which martial arts are currently martial and which have become just an art?How can my insecurities be related to my need to fight? How being an adrenaline junkie and my ego can harm me and others?Why are there so many weird guys in the gyms? Where are the true sensei?What can meditation techniques have to do with all this? 
    It’s for people looking in martial arts for something more than the primitive pounding, who feel that they should be about something other than “ripping the opponent's head off”. 
    This book should serve as a shortcut for not wasting your time and health on some people. Instead, I hope you will take care of sensible self-improvement, both physically and mentally – for yourself and for others. It's about mindfulness plus willpower. 
    I don’t like to fight. But I dislike aggressors and abusers even more. I’ve been doing it all these years cause I wanted to learn all dimensions of combat and self-defense. I haven’t become enlightened thanks to this, and I still can’t levitate. And I don’t think just fighting people makes you much wiser. It is about mindfulness plus willpower. It is up to us to educate ourselves.
