BOOKiDO vs. Kyudo

Kyudo literally means "the way of the bow" in Japanese. In its most pure form, kyūdō is practiced as an art and as a means of moral and spiritual development. BOOKiDO means the "way of book energy" and is a way of life that transcends from reading, music, fashion and art. The only difference in these two photos is that one person doesn't have a "arrow"! Got to http://www.bookido.com/ for books on Kyudo and ancient Japanese martial arts.

African Martial Arts

BOOKiDO.com has been a huge provider of martial arts information and products. We recently foudn a interesting stick fighting system that was passed down from Africa to the Caribbean islands and still perfromed at carnivals and festivals.

Bajan Stick-Licking or Stick Science is an African system of weapons fighting that features the use of fire hardened sticks of varying lengths. 'Lickin Stick' as it is usually known was most likely transferred to Barbados from the Kongo(Congo)/Angola region of Africa during the 15th century by military men who had been captured as prisoners of war. These soldiers were then purchased by various European enslavers and shipped as cargo to the Caribbean, where some ended up in Barbados as forced free labor.

Kids + Money Documentary

Filmmaker Laura Greenfield recently created a documentary on the relationship between kids and money in the Los Angeles area. You’ll find situations at opposite spectrum which really enables you to classify your own personal financial situation. Some kids in LA are caught up in the cycle where if you aren’t rocking expensive stuff then you aren’t popular. Another interesting point one of the interviewee brings up is our generation’s obsession with instant gratification. The interviewee openly confesses that buying a new pair of shoes results in that instant happiness that saving for a car won’t bring. Check it out and tell us what you think at ebookido@hotmail.com

Warrior of the Light

Paulo Coelho is one of the best writers of the 20th and 21th century! He has sold over 86 million books internationally and translated into 66 languages. His book the Warrior of the Light is about failures, life expectations and how to grow towards personal freedom. This book can be considered the modern version of "Book of Five Rings". You can read it as a daily insight towards things that are racing in your mind. Check http://www.bookido.com/ for the rest of his collection.

Excerpt:

A warrior of light knows that certain moments repeat themselves.
He often finds himself faced by the same problems and situations, and seeing these difficult situations return, he grows depressed, thinking that he is incapable of making any progress in life.
‘I've been through all this before,’ he says to his heart. ‘Yes, you have been through all this before,’ replies his heart. ‘But you have never been beyond it.’
Then the warrior realises that these repeated experiences have but one aim: to teach him what he does not want to learn.

NIKE X NEGRO LEAGUE BASEBALL

Growing up every boy plays little league baseball at some time in his life to stay busy during the summer time. As I became more conscious of history and sports I learned about the great Negro League baseball legends who paved the way for today's superstars. We talking about players like Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Willie Mays, Jacki Robinson and the list goes on.

So when I saw the limited edition release of the Air Force 1 Untold Truth series I has to cop a pair of the Ethiophian Clowns. The design is hot and the leather is so so soft!!
