JIU-JITSU Brasileña: Technicas Basicas
by Fabio Gurgel
JIU-JITSU Brasileña: Technicas Basicas - por Fabio Gurgel Jiu-Jitsu, cuyo significado literal es "el arte noble", es un método de autodefensa de gran aceptación, que no se basa necesariamente en la fuerza y el poder físico. Fabio Gurgel, cuatro veces campeón del mundo, nos presenta una exhaustiva serie de dos volúmenes que otorga sencillez a los complejos movimientos de este arte marcial a medida que revela paso a paso los secretos del Jiu-Jitsu. Los libros, titulados BJJ Basics and Advanced BJJ (Fundamentos del Jiu-Jitsu brasileño y Jiu-Jitsu brasileño para avanzados), están profusamente ilustrados y simplifican las expresiones técnicas del arte para facilitar al estudiante el aprendizaje y ayudarlo a mejorar. El Jiu-Jitsu fue desarrollado originalmente por los samurai, los antiguos guerreros que apenas usaban armadura y a veces ninguna para protegerse de enemigos más fuertes y bien armados. Como tal, el Jiu-Jitsu se considera el padre de las artes marciales, incluidos judo y aikido y ha influenciado el karate y otros estilos de artes marciales. Su técnica consiste en ataques, llaves, bloqueos, derribos y evasiones. En el aspecto mental, el Jiu-Jitsu otorga a quien lo practica confianza en sí mismo, incrementa la autoestima, alivia el estrés y aumenta la capacidad de concentración. El Jiu-Jitsu utiliza la física y la ciencia mediante la optimización y el conocimiento de la anatomía humana para sobreponerse a cualquier atacante con el menor esfuerzo y la menor fuerza física posibles. El Jiu-Jitsu brasileño difiere de su versión tradicional en que se desarrolló en un entorno y en un área diferentes como respuesta a necesidades diferentes. Esto ha llevado al desarrollo de técnicas adicionales que son más relevantes para la lucha en el suelo y ciertas necesidades pertinentes para enfrentarse a la violencia en el medio urbano moderno. Hoy día el Jiu-Jitsu brasileño es famoso por sus excelentes técnicas de lucha en el suelo, sus torneos y competidores de alto nivel, así como por su concepción y maniobras tácticas. Fabio Duca Gurgel do Amaral, siete veces campeón del mundo, comenzó a practicar el Jiu-Jitsu a los 13 años y recibió su cinturón negro a los 19. Junto con su maestro Romero Jacaré es el cofundador del Alliance Team, dos veces campeón mundial, con 40 academias en todo el mundo, de Venezuela a Nueva York y de Finlandia a Alemania. Gurgel continúa enseñando en su propia academia en San Pablo y organiza seminarios en todo el mundo. También es presidente de la Liga profesional de Jiu-Jitsu. En febrero de 2007 se publicó una versión en inglés americano. Se prevé la publicación de una versión en checo en 2010. 176 páginas; 16,5 x 24 cm.

What Would the Pope Say?
by Jaime Larrain
Pope Francis is at a crossroads. The Catholic Church, still reeling from the cases of child abuse and the corruption scandals of the Vatican Bank, has an opportunity for redemption or for a final nail in the coffin, after the Pope’s closes advisor, Cardinal Bullbridge, is kidnapped. While the Pope ponders the destiny of the Church, Aum, the leader of the Chrysallis Team that in 2016 kidnapped business moghul Brian Feller, has set for himself the tremendous challenge of gathering the most important religious leaders of the world so they can witness The Experiment, a mysterious process that could breathe new life into the Catholic Faith. The Experiment was born in the island of Ithaca in 2010, thanks to the work of Aum and Father Thomas, the guardian of the Vatican´s secret files. The motivations of Aum and Thomas are not merely academic, there’s a much larger political agenda at play. Being 86 years of age, and with a very sick son, Aum rolls the dice and brings together the Dalai Lama, Pope Francis, historian Yuval Harari, philosopher Michael Onfray, and many others. But Cardinal Bullbridge wants to put an end to his, which he sees as a threat to the Papacy. And Commissioner Scorza, Vatican Chief of Security, is trying to solve the riddle while also dealing with some scandals of his own making. What Would the Pope Say? Is not just a history of the Vatican, it is the history of an ancient dream that can now become reality, a dream we all carry inside: a spirituality that goes beyond religions, and that is one and universal.

Health & Personal Development
5h 21m
by Gabriela Couturier
5h 21m is a literary essay that reflects upon running and marathons, trying to answer essential questions, such as: why and to what purpose does a person put on a pair of sneakers and runs. This is not a training manual or a book about the techniques of long distance running. Using running as a prop, the author talks about issues of youth, health, travels, and death. This is also an excercise in creative writing, and how it intersects with certain types of athletic pursuits. Also, the title refers to the 5 hours and 21 minutes which were the authors first registered time running the marathon’s distance of 26.2 miles.
