Become the Next American Ninja Warrior


Book Description

How to train for "American Ninja Warrior" (revised 2018 version) Today only, get this Amazon book for just $6.99. Regularly priced at $9.99. In 15th-century Japan, ninjas had more to worry about than their bench press and body-mass index. They were too busy being awesome. Some 600 years later, exercise routines tend to put health before stealth - and with good reason, given today's obesity and heart disease rates. But they also increasingly value versatility, mixing sports to "cross-train" better all-around athletes. And now a globe-trotting TV show is taking that idea a quintuple step further, mobilizing an army of would-be ninjas in the name of fitness. NBC's "American Ninja Warrior," now with six seasons under its belt, is a spinoff of the long-running Japanese show "Sasuke" (aka "Ninja Warrior"). Contestants face a grueling array of athletic tests, similar to ABC's "Wipeout" but in the more serious style of Japan's original obstacle-course game shows. From schoolteachers to firemen to police officers to social workers, this competition gives everyday men and women the chance to transform into fearless acrobatic competitors, a shot at a $500,000 cash prize, and--perhaps most relevant to you--the ability to do special workouts and training that build a very impressive combination of a lean body, grip strength, speed, explosiveness, flexibility and balance. The U.S. version has yet to crown its first champion, but if you think you have what it takes, this book will teach you all the tips, including application, preparation, workout techniques and meal plans, to help you release your inner ninja.

The Ultimate Guide to Yin Yang


Book Description

The first book to fully explore and explain the concept of yin yang, breaking it down in easy-to-follow terms for all those interested in Daoism, alternative medicine, martial arts and other Eastern fields of study. Illustrated with striking red/black graphics that make the concepts more accessible. The concept of yin yang can be found in some of the oldest writing in the world. It is fundamental to Chinese thought and the route to understanding most Chinese practices, from Traditional Chinese Medicine to Daoism and feng shui. It also offers us ways of enhancing our own lives, establishing greater balance not only in our own environment but also in the wider world if we can work with other people to follow nature's flow. The central question of the book is "What is yin yang?" Step by step, with plenty of helpful illustrations and graphics, it explores the history and changing uses of yin yang - not forgetting the pronunciation and spelling (why yinyang is actually better than yin yang). The book also makes suggestions for working with yin yang, from observing the landscape to get a sense of the ebb and flow of energy through the world, to studying the patterns of nature in order to take what you need but not too much, to approaching sex as a cosmic ritual. After reading this book, readers will understand how to position themselves so that yin yang fills their lives with abundance - how to be in the right place at the right time.

Ninja


Book Description

This history of the ninja uncovers the truth behind the image—from the exploits of medieval ninjas to their modern incarnation as pop culture icons. The ninja is a legendary figure in Japanese military culture, a fighter widely regarded as the world’s greatest expert in secret warfare. The word alone conjures the image of a masked assassin dressed in black, capable of extraordinary feats of daring; a mercenary who disposes of enemies by sending sharp iron stars spinning towards them. This is, of course, a popular myth, based on exaggerations and Hollywood movies. But the truth, as Stephen Turnbull explains in Ninja, is even more fascinating. A leading expert on samurai culture, Turnbull presents an authoritative study of ninja history based on original Japanese sources, many of which have never been translated before. These include accounts of castle attacks, assassinations and espionage, as well as the last great ninja manual, which reveals the spiritual and religious ideals that were believed to lie behind the ninja’s arts. Turnbull’s critical examination of the ninja phenomenon ranges from undercover operations during the age of Japan’s civil wars to the modern emergence of the superman ninja as a comic book character. The book concludes with a detailed investigation of the ninja in popular culture.
