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.

The ArtsAugust 2022Creating Work: My Resume Revised and Updated Edition
by Tadao Ando
This book is a major revision of the earlier edition of "Creating Work: My Resume," which was first published in March 2012. The recent release includes new text and architectural photographs. A gorgeous collection of mini photo albums are interspersed throughout the book, featuring color photographs of all of his representative works. These include "Sumiyoshi's Rowhouse," the structure that launched Ando’s career, and "Brus de Commerce," a contemporary art museum in Paris that was opened in 2021. Readers will be struck by Ando’s career trajectory. Ando has made a name for himself as a world-renowned Japanese architect whose large-scale projects in France, Italy, Germany, the U.S., Europe, and Asia (China, Korea, Taiwan, and elsewhere) have attracted much attention. He has opened the "Book Forest" of libraries throughout Japan at his own expense, stating, "I want the children of tomorrow to find their dreams.” He says, “I have no education and no social foundation. I need to create my own work. Energy, concentration, a sense of purpose, and strong desire will make me overcome the hurdles I set for myself.” What is the source of the energy that drives Ando, who is now in his 80s and continues to work with increasing vigor? Throughout this book you will find the author's passion for creation as he pursues his eternal youth without forgetting his spirit of taking on challenges. His vitality remains exceptional, despite having undergone two cancer surgeries and having lost five of his organs.

FictionJune 2020Drawings of Hiroshima
by Marcelo Simonetti
“The sky was covered with grey clouds. The drizzle was lighter than normal, almost pious. The Japanese were advancing through the streets with short, fast steps. Satoru was ahead of them. He pedaled at a good pace. From his bicycle seat, the city revealed itself to his eyes as a sequence of frames. It was strange to be there, in his grandfather's city, and to ride through it as he had probably never done before: on two wheels. Even so, the possibility that the route he was taking would intersect with the routes that his grandfather had taken when he was a child, provoked an intimate emotion in him. Those landscapes were over eighty years old, including an atomic bomb, but it was the land where Ryu Nakata had learned to walk, to speak, to read”. The death of his grandfather, awakens in the young Yasuhiro Nakata the desire to know the family history, especially after finding a letter in which he discovers another side of the old man whose last words were: 'Hiroshima, Hiroshima', warning of the existence of a secret. As a result, Yasuhiro embarks on a journey that will take him from Valparaiso to Hiroshima, where his grandfather emigrated ten years before the atomic disaster. This is the beginning of Drawings of Hiroshima— a charming story that allows readers to follow the protagonist on a journey in which he not only reconnects with his Japanese origins, but also questions his present, his interpersonal relationships and his interest in writing, deepening the unconscious desire to understand the role that he plays in a story that is not his own but yet challenges him directly. With this new release, Marcelo Simonetti addresses issues such as migration and identity, connecting the historic Chilean port of Valparaiso with the memory of the tragedy occured in the Japanese city.

There is a train Station in Heaven
by Jando / Christoper Große
Ein Mann schlendert in Gedanken versunken an einem blauen Meer entlang. Das Meer grenzt an eine satte grüne Wiese, die sich über den gesamten Horizont streckt. Auf einer Parkbank, die unter einer dicken alten Eiche steht und von der aus er einen freien Blick auf das Wasser hat, nimmt er Platz. Suchend blickt er sich um. Eine ältere Dame mit einem wuscheligen Hund nähert sich und setzt sich zu ihm. Irritiert und verzweifelt fragt der Mann, wo er sei. Er habe keine Ahnung, wie er hierhergekommen sei. Alles hier sähe so ruhig, so schön und unwirklich aus. Die ältere Dame stellt sich als Maja(Mitte 70) vor und der Mann als Finn(Mitte 20). Sie sagt, dass sie so etwas schon öfter erlebt hat. Durch ihr Alter vergesse sie aber immer, wie der Ort hier genannt wird. Finn solle von seinem Leben, seinen Erinnerungen erzählen. So würde es ihm bestimmt wieder einfallen, wie er hierhergekommen sei und wie der Ort genannt werde. So mache sie es auch immer Nach dem Bestseller " Im Himmel gibt es einen Bahnhof" von dem Autor Jando

FictionHISTORICAL
by Selection and editing by Marta Mearin and Juan Francisco Bascuñán Illustrations: Joanna Styrylska-Gałażyn
Historical is a journey through the lives of 15 women who made history, based on illustrations of them by Polish artist Joanna Styrylska-Gałażyn. These graphic representations are accompanied by texts of diverse literary genres, written especially for this edition by young writers of different nationalities: Chilean, Latin American, Catalan. For each character, a brief biography and a text is included that seeks to connect the reader to the woman being honored, mixing real information with fictitious events: some occur in the future, others explore the most intimate dimension of the protagonist or personify her through poetry. The illustrations and stories that make up this book seek to make visible the importance of women in the immense number of areas from which they have been systematically excluded: science, art, technology, sports, activism and academia, among others. In this way, the book concentrates different aspects of feminist struggles capable of transcending time and space.
