I even convinced my husband to come along (although it did take some coaxing). We trav- eled with my t’ai chi teacher and his wife (also a student in our school) so we got some “hints” on the proper etiquette, as well as, advice on how to “pace ourselves” to make the most of our experience at the Conference. We certainly weren’t disappointed in the Conference. We enjoyed the warm and sunny weather, met lots of very nice people (they had to be—they do t’ai chi!), ate lots of healthy food, and even learned a thing or two. The overall atmosphere of positive energy, variety of subjects offered, and caliber of presenters was even more than I had hoped for. I had a chance to see some participants (and presenters) I had met before. I also got to meet people I had heard about for a number of years and got to practice with a lot of other practitio- ners. The only difficulty I ran into was that I wasn’t feeling well enough to participate as much as I would have liked. I was, however, able to attend several really great workshops. I was invigorated doing the Wild Goose Qi Gong stretches, enjoyed learning the basics of the fan set, and was able to watch Master Look’s xing yi class and Fu-Tung Cheng’s t’ai chi sword set. Even with my limited energy levels, I still came away with a great deal of information and some new things to think about. As a result, I’m really looking forward to my next conference. I really appreciated how considerate people were while we were at the conference. Although I wasn’t feeling well and definitely wasn’t looking my best, no one avoided interacting with me.

It would not have been possible, however, without countless wonderful people guiding and encouraging me along the way. I have found life-long mentors, friends, and family members.

Colleagues and friends in the Socio-discourse Group and the Linguistic Anthropology Lab must be thanked for their constant stimulation and constructive feedback.

Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.

    © Idōkan Poland Association “IDO MOVEMENT FOR CULTURE. Journal of Martial Arts Anthropology”, Vol. 19, no. 1S (2019), pp. 25–31 DOI: 10.14589/ido.19.1S.5 ANTHROPOLOGY Stefania Skowron-Markowska Institute of Classical, Mediterranean and Oriental Studies of the University of Wroclaw (Poland) e-mail: [email protected] Chinese guó shù (國術 “national art”) in Shaolin Temple Submission: 12.11.2018; acceptance: 12.01.2019 Key words: Shaolin temple, Chinese martial arts, kung fu, martial arts tourism, guo shu Abstract Background. The Shaolin monastery offers a meeting with Chinese culture by implementing a guo shu, program that the Chinese government supports and helps develop. Guo shu, implemented during the republican era in China supported the development of national arts, including Chinese martial arts. It was developed to rebuild a sense of patriotism and national pride in the Chinese nation after the Opium Wars and the Boxer Rebellion. Problem and Aim. The purpose of this paper is to present the new challenges that the Shaolin monastery has faced in modern times and how is it currently implemented based on the guo shu concept. Because the Shaolin monastery is also seen as a great emissary of the culture of the Middle Kingdom, students also have the opportunity to get acquainted with Chinese culture. Methods. The theoretical perspective is based on the sociology and anthropology of martial arts. For the theoretic background, an analysis of specialist text and documents was applied. The author also applied participant observation and interviews with foreign Shaolin kung fu students, visiting Shaolin temple in 2007, 2012.

  • Dux Ryu Gendai Bujitsu Training (OFCC Version)
    Dux Ryu Gendai Bujitsu Training (OFCC Version) Senzo Tanaka Research Here are the public findings on Senzo Tanaka and other related materials. All links related to this research will be posted below with corresponding links numbered in parenthesis. I would like to thank a dear friend who chooses to remain nameless for his collaboration and supporting findings regarding the Tanaka clan research. We decided to see if it was possible to actually find documents or anything providing proof of Senzo Tanaka, Hanshi Frank Dux’s Ninjutsu instructor. Our means of research are only limited to the Internet as I live in a rural area and don’t have the ability to go to travel or visit Japan. One of our passions is genealogy and we thought we would try that approach with researching Senzo Tanaka. We really only had his name, a rough age, where he resided in California, and a rough date of when he passed away. We started out with a simple search in familysearch.com of Senzo Tanaka and inputted the death year. We then found a death certificate through their site (Link #1). There we was given a date of birth (19 December 1888), the date he passed away (September of 1975), and his age (87 years old). In familysearch’s death record there is a zip code of XX723. We believe that is actually 90723, a zip code in Los Angeles County, California. Once we had that information we was able to do a more precise search. We entered in the newfound information and was given an immigrant passenger list from Japan to San Francisco, California (Link #2).
