Health, Longevity and the Martial Arts by Edmund A. Cruz Pdf

There are many exercise programs out there to choose from; however, choosing martial arts as that exercise venue is a big decision. As in all sports, dedication and discipline are required in your chosen sport to become good. In choosing the martial arts as your pursuit, that dedication and discipline is at a very high standard. It becomes a lifetime devotion which is geared towards a code of honor, a creed to follow, and responsibility to carry your skills to a higher human level. This book is not just about martial arts or about you making a survival choice regarding a self-defense endeavor; it is also about life and longevity as well as how to stay and maintain that state of physical well-being. This maintenance or balance formulates the essence of “Taijiquan” the philosophical concept for both its defense training and its health benefits. I hope in reading this book it will help you to choose wisely. What would happen if the masters of different martial art’s academies join forces to devise one master form of martial arts? This should include all the martial arts systems, styles, philosophies, and functionalities and to embrace the hidden secrets of their individual styles and formulate one master super self-defense universal system that is all incorporating and encompassing. A structure in which entails the very essence of human survival. This new system of martial arts would maintain the subsistence for the sacredness and protection of our evolutionary way. This “way” is the continuation of the human-species. Longevity depends on maintaining your survival skills and survival skills depend on maintaining your health. It is all tied together and there is no separation of these factors. This book is about that; to maintain and live a healthy and long life through the use of the martial arts format. I called the union above “The Yoda System.”

Secrets to Longevity by Jean Pierre Marques Pdf

Secrets to Longevity: An Amazing Kind of Beauty was inspired by one of my clients and friends who lived a long life with gracefulness, peace, and love. Together we found the recipe to longevity. Her name was Louise Currie Good, my private client for over fifteen years. She lived to be more than a hundred years young with a sharp mind, a love for creativity, and a sense of humor. Even through the ups and downs of life, she lived a full, active, happy life surrounded by family and friends till her departure from this world. I wanted to use her story and others as well to inspire people to learn the real secrets of living a long, healthy, purposeful life. In my fifty plus years of working with thousands of people on their physical, mental, and spiritual health, many of them seniors even into their nineties, I've pondered what separates the ones I met in bad health and ready to give up on life versus the ones who were inspired to take time to improve their good health through their attitude, exercise, and eating, making change for a healthier lifestyle and excited to wake up each day to live life to the fullest. No matter your limitation, situation, or age, you can take control of your life and how your later years will be. In this book, you will learn  simple ways to keep you healthy and happy;  recipes for a healthy mind, body, and spirit;  how to turn the negative into positive;  the benefits of movement, stretching and breath;  basic tips on nutrition. Louise Currie Good's prescription for life has been captured by her life & wellness teacher Jean Pierre Marques and shared with all of us in Secrets to Longevity: An Amazing Kind of Beauty. Jean Pierre was clearly instrumental in prolonging her inspiring life and their wisdom is more powerful than any pill at a pharmacy. This book is a beautiful lesson on how to truly live your authentic life in a balanced way and a gift to all of us. Michael Rocha, MD Cardiologist Director, New Bedford Wellness Initiative This book is a conversation between a master teacher and his student, Louise Currie Good, who was able to live a long and vibrant life for more than a hundred years.
