Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the shadowy world of Southeast Asian martial arts, one man brought a deadly, nearly forgotten system to the West - and then seemed to vanish into legend. The Ghost System: Willem Reeders and the Lost Art of Kuntao reveals the extraordinary true story of Willem A. Reeders (1917-1990), the enigmatic master also known as Liu Seong.Born of mixed Dutch-Chinese heritage and raised in Indonesia, Reeders mastered a sophisticated family Kuntao system passed down through his great-uncle Liu Seong.

In the late 1960s, Reeders arrived in America, teaching a lethal, no-nonsense style that influenced generations of serious martial artists.Author Jeffrey A. Cohen draws on historical records, firsthand accounts, and the living lineage to separate myth from reality - exploring Reeders' life against the backdrop of Dutch Indonesia, World War II, and the early days of Western interest in Asian fighting systems.

Perfect for practitioners of Kuntao, Silat, Kung Fu, and anyone fascinated by authentic, underground martial arts.If you seek the real stories behind legendary systems like Liu Seong Kuntao, this is the definitive book.Uncover the Ghost System - before it fades forever.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the physical remnants of Manzanar, a Japanese American relocation center established during World War II, venturing beyond the preserved site to uncover the broader landscape of confinement. The author meticulously documents 22 sites scattered across the surrounding area, including the military police compound, reservoir, sewage treatment plant, hog and chicken farms, and farm fields, revealing the complex infrastructure that underpinned the center's operation. Through detailed descriptions of concrete features, inscriptions, and surviving artifacts, the author reveals not only the physical structures but also the stories of those who endured confinement, from the Japanese characters etched into concrete walls to the remnants of everyday life found in the trash deposits. By examining these forgotten spaces, the author challenges conventional narratives of Manzanar, prompting readers to consider the broader impact of the relocation camps and the lasting legacy of internment on the lives of Japanese Americans.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes Japanese inscriptions in wet concrete from the World War II-era Manzanar relocation camp.
