The Jingwu Association was formed to keep these ancient arts alive. &lt;i&gt;Jingwu: The School That Transformed Kung Fu &lt;/i&gt;tells the story of this seminal institution. Extensively researched, the book shows Jingwu as the first public martial arts training school and the first to teach kung fu as recreation, not simply as a form of combat. It was also the first to incorporate women&amp;rsquo;s programs with men&amp;rsquo;s, and the first to use popular media to promote Chinese martial arts as both sport and entertainment. Through these efforts, the Jingwu Association helped guarantee Chinese martial arts would survive the transition from traditional to modern China.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This lively history covers the school&amp;rsquo;s tumultuous beginnings; the four historical phases of Chinese martial arts that inform it; profiles of important practitioners like Huo Yuanjia; those elements, such as the integration of women, that have made Jingwu distinctive and enduring; individual branches and practices within the larger system; and more. Rare historical documents and vintage photographs take the reader directly into one of the most fascinating and important stories in martial arts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Under the direction of his manager, Simon Fuller, the mastermind behind &lt;i&gt;American Idol&lt;/i&gt; and the Spice Girls, Beckham was ready for a monumental challenge and a risky adventure&amp;#8211;ready, as Fuller put it, to earn his stripes Stateside. Could he pull off what no player had ever accomplished (including Pel&amp;#233; in the 1970s) and transform soccer into one of the most popular spectator sports in America? It was a bold experiment: failure meant a team, a league, a sport, and Beckham himself might miss their chance to hit primetime in the U.S.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;With unprecedented access to the Galaxy and one-on-one interviews with Beckham, veteran &lt;i&gt;Sports Illustrated&lt;/i&gt; writer Grant Wahl focuses on the inner circle of the experiment: Beckham, Galaxy leading scorer Landon Donovan, Simon Fuller, controversial former coach Ruud Gullit, outspoken former Galaxy president Alexi Lalas, and Mrs. Victoria &amp;#8220;Posh Spice&amp;#8221; Beckham. Wahl takes readers behind the scenes, on the road with the team and inside the locker room, to reveal just what happened on and off the field when the most renowned player in the world left the glamour of European soccer to play in a country that has yet to fully embrace the sport. We find out what his teammates really think of their superstar captain, who was calling the shots behind the scenes, how Beckham&amp;#8217;s management conducted a shadow takeover of the Galaxy organization, and if the team plans to embrace him&amp;#8211;or not&amp;#8211;when he returns from AC Milan for the 2009 season.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Beckham Experiment is a no-holds-barred account of ego clashes and epic winless streaks, rivalries and resentments, big gambles and great expectations, cultural and class collisions, and ultimately the volatile mix of celebrity and professional sports. As Beckham embarks on his third season with the Galaxy, the question remains: even for a player the caliber of David Beckham, are some goals out of reach?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Honored and imitated by generations of his peers, Jenkins&amp;#8217;s wit, fearlessness, and inimitable style set the tone for &lt;i&gt;Sports Illustrated&lt;/i&gt; during his years there and are in full display in classic novels like &lt;i&gt;Semi-Tough&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Dead Solid Perfect&lt;/i&gt;. But it is his golf journalism&amp;#8212;for the&lt;i&gt; Fort Worth Press&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Dallas Times-Herald&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Sports Illustrated,&lt;/i&gt; and in recent years, &lt;i&gt;Golf Digest&lt;/i&gt;&amp;#8212;that sets him above and apart.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;In this masterful collection, Jenkins has selected the best of his original dispatches from the past sixty years&amp;#8212;from Ben Hogan&amp;#8217;s great final-round 67 to win the 1951 U.S. Open at torturous Oakland Hills to Tiger Woods's grimacing playoff win against Rocco Mediate fifty-eight years later&amp;#8212;all written with his colorful humor and unmatched insight. His wry reportage on golf's most iconic players, thrilling finishes, historic moments, and heartbreaking collapses have brought legions of fans intimately close to the action and the larger-than-life personalities of the game. The stories in &lt;i&gt;Jenkins at the Majors&lt;/i&gt; remain as vivid and thrilling as the days he wrote them, including:&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; Ben Hogan besting Sam Snead in an epic battle in the 1953 U.S. Open at Oakmont&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; The legendary 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills, where three eras clashed as Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, and Jack Nicklaus battled it out in the final round&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; Greg Norman&amp;#8217;s cringe-worthy collapse at the 1996 Masters&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; Tiger Woods&amp;#8217;s record-shattering victory in the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jenkins was there, immortalizing these and many other great moments in golf history&amp;#8212;under deadline, no less&amp;#8212;with his signature style and encyclopedic knowledge of the game in this nostalgic and highly entertaining ride. A must-read for every golf fan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Giants third baseman Bobby Thomson hit the most dramatic home run in the history of baseball. The moment occurred in the bottom of the ninth inning of a sudden-death playoff game between the New York Giants and their arch rivals from Brooklyn, the Dodgers. People across the nation watched on their new TV sets, and the home run became known as &amp;#8220;the Shot Heard &amp;#8217;Round the World.&amp;#8221; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But after clearing the left-&amp;#64257;eld wall, the central artifact of the play&amp;#8211;the ball itself&amp;#8211;inexplicably went missing. The mystery of what happened to the legendary baseball has remained unsolved for a half century. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Until now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Miracle Ball&lt;/i&gt; is the gripping account of author Brian Biegel&amp;#8217;s two-year effort to unravel the mystery that experts said could never be solved. After his father, Jack, &amp;#64257;nds a baseball at a thrift store with clues dating back to 1951 and believes it could possibly be the most coveted piece of sports history, father and son begin a journey to prove its authenticity. Biegel becomes consumed with the quest&amp;#8211;recognizing it as the only chance to rescue himself from an emotionally devastating personal crisis that had long been crippling him.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The trail takes Biegel, a sports fan and documentary &amp;#64257;lmmaker, from an auction house in Long Island to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, to a backroom meeting straight out of a Martin Scorsese &amp;#64257;lm to a dusty oil &amp;#64257;eld in Texas, &amp;#64257;nally arriving at his &amp;#64257;nal destination on a quiet gravel road in New Mexico, the last place he ever expected to be.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Along the way the author meets an amazing cast of characters, including Bobby Thomson himself, who help him in his quest. Each adds their personal memories of the golden age of baseball, giving a broader scope and greater depth to this real-life detective story. As entertaining as it is inspiring, &lt;i&gt;Miracle Ball&lt;/i&gt; is a story about faith, family, and heroes, about overcoming the odds and coming into the light, and about discovering the wondrous result of believing in yourself&amp;#8211;and the amazing bene&amp;#64257;ts of unconditional love. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A sports story for the ages, an engrossing mystery narrative, and a moving account of a man&amp;#8217;s unbreakable bond with his family and of his struggles to save himself, &lt;i&gt;Miracle Ball&lt;/i&gt; delivers both heart and headlines.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

He is also remembered for his tragic death, at age thirty-two, when the private plane he was piloting crashed in Canton, Ohio, on August 2, 1979.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Munson&lt;/i&gt; is the intimate biography of a complex and larger-than-life legend. Written by former Yankees public relations director Marty Appel, who worked closely with Thurman throughout his career, &lt;i&gt;Munson&lt;/i&gt; captures the little-known details of the young man from Canton and his meteoric rise to stardom in baseball&amp;#8217;s most storied franchise. Appel examines the tumultuous childhood that led Thurman to work feverishly to escape Canton&amp;#8212;and also the marriage and cultural roots that continually drew him back.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Appel also opens a fascinating door on the famed Yankees of the 1970s, recounting moments and stories that have never been told before. From the clubhouse and the dugout to the front office and the owner&amp;#8217;s box, this thoughtful baseball biography delves into the affectionately gruff captain&amp;#8217;s relationships with friends, fans, and teammates such as Lou Piniella, Bobby Murcer, Graig Nettles, and Reggie Jackson, as well as his colorful dealings with manager Billy Martin and his surprisingly close bond with owner George Steinbrenner. &lt;i&gt;Munson&lt;/i&gt; paints a revealing portrait of a private Yankee superstar, as well as a nostalgic and revelatory look at the culture&amp;#8212;and amazing highs and lows&amp;#8212;of the 1970s New York Yankees teams. More than a biography, &lt;i&gt;Munson&lt;/i&gt; is the definitive account of a champion who has not been forgotten and of the era he helped define&amp;#8212;written with the intimate detail available only to a true insider.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;www.doubleday.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Now, at last, here is the superbly researched, spellbindingly told story of athlete, showman, philosopher, and boundary breaker Leroy &amp;#8220;Satchel&amp;#8221; Paige.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Few reliable records or news reports survive about players in the Negro Leagues. Through dogged detective work, award-winning author and journalist Larry Tye has tracked down the truth about this majestic and enigmatic pitcher, interviewing more than two hundred Negro Leaguers and Major Leaguers, talking to family and friends who had never told their stories before, and retracing Paige&amp;#8217;s steps across the continent. Here is the stirring account of the child born to an Alabama washerwoman with twelve young mouths to feed, the boy who earned the nickname &amp;#8220;Satchel&amp;#8221; from his enterprising work as a railroad porter, the young man who took up baseball on the streets and in reform school, inventing his trademark hesitation pitch while throwing bricks at rival gang members.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tye shows Paige barnstorming across America and growing into the superstar hurler of the Negro Leagues, a marvel who set records so eye-popping they seemed like misprints, spent as much money as he made, and left tickets for &amp;#8220;Mrs. Paige&amp;#8221; that were picked up by a different woman at each game. In unprecedented detail, Tye reveals how Paige, hurt and angry when Jackie Robinson beat him to the Majors, emerged at the age of forty-two to help propel the Cleveland Indians to the World Series. He threw his last pitch from a big-league mound at an improbable fifty-nine. (&amp;#8220;Age is a case of mind over matter,&amp;#8221; he said. &amp;#8220;If you don&amp;#8217;t mind, it don&amp;#8217;t matter.&amp;#8221;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More than a fascinating account of a baseball odyssey, &lt;b&gt;Satchel&lt;/b&gt; rewrites our history of the integration of the sport, with Satchel Paige in a starring role. This is a powerful portrait of an American hero who employed a shuffling stereotype to disarm critics and racists, floated comical legends about himself&amp;#8211;including about his own age&amp;#8211;to deflect inquiry and remain elusive, and in the process methodically built his own myth. &amp;#8220;Don&amp;#8217;t look back,&amp;#8221; he famously said. &amp;#8220;Something might be gaining on you.&amp;#8221; Separating the truth from the legend, &lt;b&gt;Satchel &lt;/b&gt;is a remarkable accomplishment, as large as this larger-than-life man.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Ha&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trade Paperback&lt;/b&gt;, 176 pages | Blue Snake Books | Sports &amp; Recreation - Martial Arts &amp; Self-Defense | &lt;b&gt;$17.95&lt;/b&gt; | 978-1-58394-241-3 (1-58394-241-6)&lt;p&gt;In &lt;i&gt;Taekwondo: A Technical Manual&lt;/i&gt;, renowned Master Gilles Savoie presents the art and science of the popular martial art, showing practitioners how to optimize both body and spirit. While other taekwondo books simply document traditional forms andexercises, this one goes further, providing an in-depth look at the body mechanics and physics of taekwondo movements. Armed with this information, says Master Savoie, the practitioner can improve control, optimize speed, increase power, and maintain balance. The book details the author&amp;rsquo;s innovative &amp;ldquo;hip propel&amp;rdquo; technique, designed to utilize the parts of the body as a four-lever system able to efficiently displace weight and create force. &lt;i&gt;Taekwondo: A Technical Manual&lt;/i&gt; not only teaches optimal taekwondo technique but emphasizes visualization, balance, and overall well-being to enhance athletic abilities, fusing the physical and philosophical components of the art. Also included is an introduction to reflexology theory, teaching basic techniques to help taekwondo practitioners relax and self-treat common muscle aches and pains. Seventy black-and-white photographs and diagrams illustrate each of the movements and techniques described.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
