Seat, Gaits, and Reactions and the Evolution of the Position of the Rider Through the Ages
Seat, Gaits, and Reactions: Before talking about riding and dressage, Captain de S矇vy studies the gaits of the horse, emphasizing the role of the pendulum-neck. He establishes the link between the horse's movement and the rider's attitude and the corresponding reactions based on his keen observations and analysis of photographic views.In the section devoted to the rider, the author approaches the concept of flexibility by proposing exercises, which we can use today, helping to achieve the independence of the parts of the body and leading to the acquisition of a correct seat, the essential prerequisite for the proper use of the aids.The Equitation chapter presents an analysis of the use of aids, then the use of gaits in the training of the horse and the education of the rider. The proposed dressage progression is centered around two qualities: submission and balance.Evolution of the Position of the Rider Through the Ages: Beginning with Greece and Rome, de S矇vy analyzes the different postures that characterize the major developments in the history of horse riding. He continues from the ancient precepts up to the regulations and guidelines which are still the basis of our teaching today. A short study on the seat prolongs this essential work which allows us to understand the modern methods of taming a horse for riding.
Self-defense or jiu-jitsu achievable by everyone
A brief journey to the roots of Jiu-Jitsu through an important historical record.A book written by the legendary Japanese fighter Mitsuyo Maeda (1878 - 1941), the famous Conde Koma, precursor of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.Mitsuyo Maeda learned the gentle way at the Kodokan, with an instructor directly appointed by Jigoro Kano, the creator of Judo. He received his black belt in 1889, and five years later he left Japan to travel the world demonstrating the effectiveness of his martial art, then called "Kano Jiu-Jitsu".After traveling through Europe, the United States, and Central America, he settled in Brazil in 1917, where he married and taught the precepts of the gentle way. In addition to being one of the first to introduce Judo to Brazil, his work as a teacher in the city of Bel矇m do Par獺, with Carlos Gracie, H矇lio Gracie's brother, as his student, sowed the seeds of what would become Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.This book, written during his time in El Salvador in 1913, gives us a glimpse of his vision, descriptions, and photographic records of various techniques: locks, chokes, projections, and self-defense techniques, as well as his teachings on healthy habits.Self-defense or jiu-jitsu achievable by everyone is a small piece of judo and jiu-jitsu history, inaccessible for decades, now at your fingertips.
