Jiu-Jitsu, literally meaning "the gentle art," is a popular form of self-defense that does not necessarily rely on physical strength and power. Seven-time World Champion Fabio Gurgel presents us with a comprehensive two-volume series that brings simplicity to the complex movements of this Martial Art, as he reveals the secrets of Jiu-Jitsu step by step. The book, titled BJJ BASICS, is fully illustrated and simplify the technical expressions of the art form to allow any student to learn and improve. Originally, Jiu-Jitsu was developed for the Samurai, ancient warriors who had little or no armor to defend themselves against a more powerful and well-armed enemy. As such, Jiu-Jitsu is the father of Japanese Martial Arts, including Judo and Aikido, and it has influenced Karate and other styles of Martial Arts. It utilizes techniques of strikes, holds, locks, throws, and evasions. Mentally, Jiu-Jitsu teaches self-confidence, improves self-esteem, relieves stress, and increases the ability to focus. Jiu-Jitsu utilizes physics and science through leverage and knowledge of human anatomy to overcome any attacker, with as little effort and physical strength as possible. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu differs from traditional Jiu-Jitsu in that it was developed in a different environment and area as a response to different needs. This caused the development of additional techniques that are more relevant to ground fighting and some relevant needs for dealing with violence in modern day life. Today, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is famous for its excellent ground fighting, high-level competitions, and competitors, as well as for its tactical thinking and maneuvers. Seven-time World Champion Fabio Duca Gurgel do Amaral began practicing Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 13 and received his black belt at the age of 19. Along with his master, Romero Jacaré, he is the co-founder of the two-time World Champion Alliance Team with 40 academies around the world – from Venezuela to New York, from Finland to Germany. Gurgel continues to teach at his own academy in São Paulo and gives seminars throughout the world. He is president of the Professional League of Jiu-Jitsu. A North American English-language edition was published in February 2007. A Czech edition was published in Fall 2009. 152 pages; 16.5 x 24 cm.

In einer auf Zellengröße geschrumpften Welt gewinnt jedes Detail an Bedeutung: die Kakerlake, die ihren Job macht, die Mausefalle, mit der sich die Zeit totschlagen lässt, die seltsamen Rhythmen des kollektiven Schnarchens, wie sie der Schlaflose wahrnimmt.Maxim Znak, ein brillanter Jurist und prominentes Mitglied der belarussischen Oppositionsbewegung, wurde im Herbst 2020 verhaftet und im September 2021 zu zehn Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt. In seinem Zekamerone (von »zek«, dem russischen Akronym für Häftling), das er im ersten Jahr seiner Haft schrieb, erweist er sich als begabter Schriftsteller – pointiert, ironisch und mit erstaunlichem Humor erzählt er in einhundert »mini stories« von seinem neuen Alltag. Seine Geschichten legen Zeugnis ab von Widerstand und Selbstbehauptung, vom leisen und lauten Verrücktwerden. Maxim Znak, Jg, 1982, prominentes Mitglied der belarussischen Oppositionsbewegung und Anwalt von Maria Kalesnikava, sitzt seit dem 9. September 2020 in einem Minsker Gefängnis. Sein »Zekamerone« (von zek, dem russischen Akronym für Häftling), eine Sammlung von einhundert mini stories, hat er während des ersten Jahres in Haft in ein Notizbuch notiert, das nach draußen gelangte.

What makes children truly happy? The answer to that question is simple, but challenging: their social-emotional competences. Socially competent kids feel good and are more successful in different aspects of life. One of the most important tasks of a parent is therefore to support their children in developing social skills. This book shows parents how to encourage the social-emotional development of their children. It distinguishes eight skills: awareness of the self, social awareness, self-management, goal oriented behaviour, relational skills, personal responsibility, decision making, and positive thinking. After giving a clear introduction on social-emotional development, the author explains these skills in more detail in eight chapters. Each chapter contains a detailed real-life example, psychological background information, and practical interventions ready for use by parents, teachers and other caretakers. The interventions and examples are aimed at four to twelve year olds.
