Red Rosa's Spartacus LeagueAuthor: Stewart McGill
Politics, sport, sport as politics pursued by other means. Objective, non-aligned, left-wing talk. Theory, practice, the history we're told, the history of what actually happened. Inspired by Marx, Rosa Luxemburg, Antonio Gramsci and Eduardo Galeano. A good midfield quartet but who will play out wide on the left? The most revolutionary thing one can do is always to proclaim loudly what is happening. Rosa Luxemburg Language: en Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Steve Rowe: Inside the Mind of a Martial Artist
Sunday, 24 November, 2024
The first of an occasional series in which I talk to experienced martial artists about their history, their vision of their art and the martial arts in general, and why it's about a lot more than developing fighting skills. Steve is one of the most well-known and respected martial artists in Britain and across the globe. We talk here about his history, the importance of the "internal" element of the martial arts - to all practitioners, not just doing the more overtly "philosophical" disciplines - and, of course, a little bit of politics and the Martial Artists Against Racism project. Here are links to some of the martial artists that Steve mentions: https://steve-rowe.com/2022/09/22/okimitsu-fuji/ http://findingkarate.com/wordpress/spotlight-toru-takamizawa-the-quiet-sensei-of-wado-ryu/ https://shinbukan.org.uk/?page_id=65 https://yeungfamilytaichi.com/blog/my-first-meeting-with-yeung-ma-lee-sifu/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu2wy7LgMUg Some of Steve's books and articles: Soft Front Strong Back Concepts of Karate Articles Some videos: Steve Rowe YouTube Martial Artists Against Racism: Statement of Intent Myths about Immigration and Refugees
