| Title: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Basic Techniques |
| By (author): Duca Gurgel do Amaral Amaral |
| ISBN10-13: 9657178118 : 9789657178119 |
| Jiu-Jitsu, literally meaning 'the gentle art', is a popular form of self-defence that does not necessarily rely on physical strength and power. Seven-time World Champion Fabio Gurgel presents us with a comprehensive two-volume series that brings simplicity to the complex movements of this Martial Art, as he reveals the secrets of Jiu-Jitsu step-by-step. 'Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Basics' is fully illustrated and simplify the technical expressions of the art form to allow any student to learn and improve. Originally, Jiu-Jitsu was developed for the Samurai, ancient warriors who had little or no armour to defend themselves against a more powerful and well-armed enemy. As such, Jiu-Jitsu is the father of Japanese Martial Arts, including Judo and Aikido, and it has influenced Karate and other styles of Martial Arts. It utilises techniques of strikes, holds, locks, throws, and evasions. Mentally, Jiu-Jitsu teaches self-confidence, improves self-esteem, relieves stress, and increases the ability to focus. Jiu-Jitsu utilises physics and science through leverage and knowledge of human anatomy to overcome any attacker, with as little effort and physical strength as possible. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu differs from traditional Jiu-Jitsu in that it was developed in a different environment and area as a response to different needs. This caused the development of additional techniques that are more relevant to ground fighting and some relevant needs for dealing with violence in modern day life. Today, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is famous for its excellent ground fighting, high-level competitions, and competitors, as well as for its tactical thinking and manoeuvres. Seven-time World Champion Fabio Duca Gurgel do Amaral began practicing Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 13 and received his black belt at the age of 19. Along with his master, Romero Jacaré, he is the co-founder of the two-time World Champion Alliance Team with 40 academies around the world from Venezuela to New York, from Finland to Germany. Gurgel continues to teach at his own academy in São Paulo and gives seminars throughout the world. He is president of the Professional League of Jiu-Jitsu. |

| Sub-title: Following Feldenkrais' Work -- The Elusive Border between Learning, Psychology, & Art |
| By (author): Abraham Z Shoshani |
| ISBN10-13: 9657178061 : 9789657178065 |

| Reviews: |
|
"An idea must be a pure image completely stripped or void of affect before it can reach the unconscious..." -- Dr Moshe Feldenkrais.
|
|
"Reading Avi Shoshani's book... is a unique experience -- the experience of a journey into man's spiritual world. This world is complex and complicated, but always attractive and interesting. Avi Shoshani's knowledge is extensive, amazingly profound, without stifling academics. One cannot but be impressed by the intellectual work invested in the writing of this book. The exciting encounter between the worlds of psychology and education lends a special quality and is intellectually challenging. The author successfully provides a new perspective while carefully maintaining the laws of science in the realm of the soul. Recommended to everyone who loves to know, think and feel." -- Dr G Katz, Lecturer in Department of Psychiatry, School of Medicine, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem.

"...Shoshani confronts a challenging topic. For this confrontation, he enlists, on one hand, his rich experience in mentoring students in various art disciplines and, on the other hand, his accumulated knowledge of neuro-physiology, psychology, philosophy, and education. Dr Shoshani's preparation of the student is not a training technique. His every word is charged with profound educational meaning. The student learns more than the different implementations, he learns about himself as performer, according to the path that the author has outlined for him. This work offers thinking challenges to the interested reader and inspiration and guidance to anyone involved in performance education." -- Professor Zvi Lam, former Head of the School of Education, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem.

| Title: Landscapes of Israel |
| By (author): M Kaufman |
| ISBN10-13: 9659060300 : 9789659060306 |
| These thirty-three drawings, collected from hundreds of drawings, are the fruition of sketching trips of the artist to the historic and picturesque landscapes of the Holy Land. They reflect the artist's admiration of the majestic sceneries he has witnessed while touring the various regions of the country. His formative years were spent in Jerusalem where the urban landscapes of Jerusalem were first absorbed. During his student years in Haifa he enjoyed many trips to the mountains of the Carmel and the Galilee. In later years, being involved in the planning of the town of Eilat, he had the opportunity to be in close contact with the mountainous desert views of the Negev and the Arava. |

| Title: Rights Of The Hebrew Nation In Israel / Palestine |
| Sub-title: Evidence Based Argumentations |
| By (author): Moshe Schwarzberg |
| ISBN10-13: 9657178215 : 9789657178218 |
| According to Time magazine ("A Land Divided", 25 March 2002) the history of the conflict started with the 1947 decision of the United Nations to divide Palestine between Jews and Arabs. With one strike on the journalist's keyboard, the entire history of the region was amputated at the year 1946, when Palestine was first divided, with the establishment of the Transjordanian Emirate, now known as Jordan. As a consequence of the misleading chronological presentation of events, a thirty-year history of bloodshed -- the period of the 1918-1948 British Mandate -- was wiped clean as if it had never happened. The purpose of this booklet is to present a series of argumentation based on evidence, solid information that precedes opinion, and proven data followed by a preliminary conclusion. |

| Title: Terror Bombing, the New Urban Threat |
| Sub-title: Practical Approaches for Response Agencies & Security |
| By (author): Hayim Granot, Jay Levinson |
| ISBN10-13: 9657178010 : 9789657178010 |
| Terrorism has become a virtually daily news item, and a tragic part of our lives. It is estimated that there are more than five hundred different terrorist groups world-wide. In this innovative and highly relevant book, the authors stress ways in which local agencies can mitigate and respond to the effects of the worst acts of terror faced by urban authorities. The authors combine theory and practice, citing incidents around the world (including the devastating attack on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington D.C.), while emphasising Israel's special experience in this field. In light of the increasing threat of terrorist acts and the rising interest in emergency management, this book provides solid background for governmental officials and emergency response personnel who are seeking to understand one of the most dangerous threats to modern life. |

| Title: Unknown Capoeira |
| Sub-title: Volume II: A History of the Brazilian Martial Art |
| By (author): Mestre Ricardo |
| ISBN10-13: 9657178150 : 9789657178157 |
| Capoeira, an original Afro-Brazilian discipline, is not so easily defined due to its numerous facets, as a deadly martial art, an exotic dancing discipline, inspired by an ancient far-away culture. Nearly four hundred years of slave trade brought to Brazil an envyingly cultural heritage, composed of a continuous influx of different ethnic groups, which, concomitant with the different native, African and European regional expressions and its rich constant geopolitical changes, has produced a singular, colourful and vibrant multicultural and multi-ethnic society engaged in their new Brazilian identity. From the XVIII to the XIX century, the harsh conditions with which black slaves were treated led to increasing numbers of slave revolts in the Americas, where escaped slaves forming independent Maroon communities in French, Hispanic, British and the Netherlands Antilles, and the Quilombola communities in Brazil, organized fighting guerrilla wars against the plantation masters and owners, giving rise to campaigns against slavery in Europe and the abolition of slavery in the Americas. Capoeira became the result of Brazil's own diasporic experience, a branch of a large tree which grew into a unique and complex social art that cannot be dissociated from its historical and anthropological perspectives. This book is written by expert Brazilian capoeira Mestre Ricardo Cachorro, unveils the Age of Exploration and the resulted Atlantic slave trade, unfolding African slavery in Europe as early as in the 15th century, much before black slaves were taken to the New World. The enchanting saga of the Akindele family from the beautiful Yoruba kingdom of Adágún L}wá will take you deeply into pre-colonial Africa and to the lands of newly explored Bahia de Todos os Santos in 1531, where the almost sacred history of capoeira began. From the new findings in Africa to the discoveries in Brazil, this captivating book navigates through the Feitorias and Capitanias the sugarcane mills of the 17th century the real and virtually unknown cradle of capoeira. It brings to surface beautiful historic and cultural aspects of the colonial periods with its arts, music and religion, the African melting pot which was formed from the blend of ancient African cultures and the new Afro-Brazilian rural and urban settings and, finally, the old and the modern founders of capoeira. This is a delicious treat for all Capoeira's lovers, practitioners, and instructors who want to know more about this original Afro-Brazilian discipline, as well as students of history, anthropology, art, music, theatre, and related fields all the way from the academic researcher to the curious history & culture lover. |

| Title: Unknown Capoeira |
| Sub-title: Volume I: Secret Techniques of the Original Brazilian Martial Art |
| By (author): Mestre Ricardo |
| ISBN10-13: 9657178142 : 9789657178140 |
| Capoeira is a martial art developed by African slaves in Brazil from the 16th century, as a result of the fusion of several ethnic groups that originally brought with them to South America their cultural identity, as well as their seeds of liberty. Despite the strong evidence of influence from a plurality of other forms of ancient African martial arts, capoeira is essentially an original Brazilian expression with many practitioners and enthusiasts in every continent. Although capoeira values much of its cultural and historical aspects, no one should be misled - it is an efficient and deadly fighting system! As a result of its development throughout the years, capoeira became the richest and the most spectacular and beautiful martial art on the planet. However, what even most capoeiristas do not know is that this fascinating martial art can turn into a gracefully athletic and also lethal weapon at the hands (and feet) of any disciplined, serious practitioner. In this book you will learn unique secrets of capoeira as performed in the roda or in actual combat. Moves, ground fighting and aerial techniques are fully described to the level of perfection, with the help of hundreds of pictures. Diagrams explain special manoeuvres never before published in the world of martial arts. |
