DOWNLOAD EBOOKMatrixing is the science of the martial arts. Matrix Kung Fu (Monkey Boxing) was one of the first matrixing courses. It was presented at MonsterMartialArts.com, and has proven to be a rock hard, best seller. This is because it presents the 'alphabet' of joint locks and stand up takedowns. Students of the martial arts are quite pleased when they 'take a gander' at this material. This is because it reduces the subject of joint locks and stand up takedowns to an easy and logical science, which facilitates learning greatly. Indeed, people who study this course become adept, and even expert, within a few months. The material presented here, in this book, is the original material of the video course of the same name. Students are encouraged to avail themselves of the accompanying videos through MonsterMartialArts.com. About the Author: Al Case began martial arts in 1967. He has studied Kenpo, Karate, Wing chun Gung Fu, Aikido, Northern Shaolin Ton Toi Gung Fu, Southern Shaolin Fut Ga Gung Fu, Pa Kua Chang, Tai Chi Chuan, and much more. He was a writer for the martial arts magazines in the 90s, and was asked to write his own column in Inside Karate (Case Histories). Currently, he teaches in Southern California.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDeep smarts are the engine of any organization as well as the essential value that individuals build throughout their careers. Distinct from IQ, this type of expertise consists of practical wisdom: accumulated knowledge, know-how, and intuition gained through extensive experience. How do such smarts develop? And what happens when people with deep smarts leave a particular job or the organization? Can any of their smarts be transferred? Should they be? Basing their conclusions on a multi-year research project, Dorothy Leonard and Walter Swap argue that cultivating and managing deep smarts are critical parts of any leader's job. The authors draw on examples from firms of all sizes and types to illustrate the connection between deep smarts and organizational viability and continuous innovation. Leonard and Swap describe the origins and limits of deep smarts and outline processes for cultivating and leveraging them across the organization. Developing an experience repertoire and receiving strategic guidance from wise coaches can help individuals move up the ladder of expertise from novice to master. Addressing a topic of increasing importance as the Boomer generation retires, Deep Smarts challenges leaders to take a hands-on approach to managing the experience-based knowledge shaping the future of their organizations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK中国功夫，在漫长历史时光中，从来都是闪烁着灿烂的爱国主义光辉。每当国家处于危难之际，总有身怀绝技的武林高手、仁人志士挺身而出，前赴后继：一身报国有万死、须把乾坤力挽回。他们加入国家复兴主流，一次次化险为夷，变乱为治，蹶而复振。 Kung Fu is the culmination of thousands of years of traditional Chinese culture. There are many schools of Chinese Kung Fu, famous ones including Shaolin, Wudang, Tai Chi, Hsing-I and Eight Diagrams. Over thousands of years of continuous development and evolution, Kung Fu has developed into the ultimate form of practical martial arts combat, namely, freestyle grappling. Though the techniques are constantly changing, the mentality of Chinese Kung Fu to support justice and defend the nation has remained unchanged. As we can see in the history of Chinese Kung Fu, there's a prominent theme of “patriotism” between the lines. This is the supreme core enabling Chinese Kung Fu to continue and flourish.
