Joe Palooka Visits The Lost City: America's Favorite Boxer - In the Army!

Joe Palooka Visits The Lost City: America's Favorite Boxer - In the Army!

There was a time when heavyweight champion Joe Palooka was everywhere - in addition to the comics, he was a newspaper strip, radio show, movie star, TV star, board game, wristwatch, lunchbox, and more --- and has even had a mountain names after him! Joe Palooka joined the army during World War II, and did his part to help the Allies win the war. One of America's most beloved characters, "Palooka" has even become part of the country's language. The comic reprints from UP History and Hobby are reproduced from actual classic comics, and sometimes reflect the imperfection of books that are decades old. These books are constantly updated with the best version available - if you are EVER unhappy with the experience or quality of a book, return the book to us to exchange for another title or the upgrade as new files become available.

The Eighteen Lohan Skills: Traditional Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Training Methods

The Eighteen Lohan Skills: Traditional Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Training Methods

This book belongs in every martial artist’s library, as the Eighteen Lohan Skills are a foundational system for the development of kung fu—not only traditional Shaolin Temple Kung Fu, but for nearly all martial art systems created thereafter. This is true in the applications and functions of the exercises, and in posture names as well. No full translation or serious presentation of these exercises exists in English—until now! In presenting these teachings, Stuart Alve Olson made exclusive use of the original Chinese text by Praying Mantis Kung Fu master Fan Xudong and the later publication Lohan Gong, detailing the exercises by Master Wong Honfan. Included are the original illustrations from Fan Xudong’s work and the photographs of Master Wong Honfan performing the exercises. The second section shows the original Shaolin text of these exercises with illustrations. The third section of the book presents the actual eighteen Lohan figures for which the exercises are named, providing a deeper spiritual outlook on the practice of kung fu and meditation. Through its yoga-like stretching aspects, the Eighteen Lohan Skills are not only a qigong practice (combining breathing with body movements), they also train martial applications, and promote internal alchemy skills because they stimulate and develop the internal energies of jing (body/essence), qi (breath/vitality), and shen (mind/spirit). The Eighteen Lohan Skills, then, are a complete system for health, longevity, and spiritual development. This book is a necessity for martial artists, qigong practitioners, and even those who follow Buddhist meditation practices and philosophy.
