//-->END OF INJURYA comprehensive program for the prevention of athletic injuries, improvement of performance, andthe development of a positive mental attitude.By Grandmaster Dr. Ted Gambordella, B.S., M.ED., PhDINTRODUCTIONI wrote this book because every year there are thousands of needless and unnecessary injuries thatoccur to professional, collegiate and amateur athletes. It seems that in America. most people do notworry about something until it’s too late or till it has already happened. Take for example illness. . .wespend billions in curing the symptoms of the illness, medicine to stop the drippy nose, ease the pain,relieve the pressure, etc. But we spend very little to prevent the body from becoming ill. Our countryspends billions of dollars on medical research to cure illness but only a pittance on research to preventthe illness. The same thing holds true for sports and sport related injuries.Every year thousands of athletes fall down and break or tear a part of their body. Every year thousandsof athletes get hit in the ribs or abdomen and break bones or injure internal organs. Every day someonemakes a mistake while playing and finds himself injured perhaps permanently because no coach or noone ever told him how toPREVENT ATHLETIC INJURIES.This book does just that, shows easyto follow, proven techniques for the prevention of athletic injuries. Of course this book will not makeyou a Superman or prevent all injuries. What it will do is to provide you with alternatives. Now youcan at least have a chance to roll instead of break, to stretch instead of tear, and to absorb instead ofcrush your body from most aspects of your sport that can cause injury.(1). There are only three ways that an injury can occur and there are proven techniques that can helpprevent these injuries:a.Stretching or flexibility related injuries-pulling or tearing muscles from over stretching themuscles, tendons or ligaments. Solution: a complete stretching program.b.Falling down-breaking bones or tearing muscles, joints and the body in general. Solution:proper falling techniques.c.Getting hit-contact that breaks bones, injures muscle. Solution: use of Ki (breath, muscle andmind control all used simultaneously).(2)A relaxed athlete is able to perform better and less likely to be injured.When you are upset,your body over-reacts and your mind becomes confused so that you are not able to perform at your toplevel.(3)Size and strength can be overcome by the use of balance points and leverage.A child canbalance a 400 lb. refrigerator on one corner if he maintains the balance. It took you 2 years to learn towalk and your balance is conditional upon the entire cooperation of your whole body (the eyes, innerears, toes, arms, hips, etc.). Force can be applied in only one direction and if you learn to utilize thetechniques of balance and leverage in this book you can easily maneuver and manipulate a much largerand stronger opponent.If you will study this book with an open mind, begin to practice the techniques and appreciate thevalue of the techniques found in it. Your ability to concentrate will greatly improve, your skills willsharpen and your mind becomes stronger. You will have a much greater ability to withstand blows andhits that would injure most people, and you will improve your performance by the use of balancepoints, concentration and mind control.Books by Ted GambordellaSEVEN DAYS TO SELF DEFENSETHE END OF INJURIESHOW TO DEVELOP A PERFECT BODY41 WAYS TO FLATTEN YOUR STOMACHWEAPONS OF THE STREETTHE COMPLETE BOOK OF KARATE WEAPONSSECRETS OF STREET FIGHTINGFIGHT FOR YOUR LIFETHE 100 DEADLIEST KARATE MOVESTONFA TACTICSO.M.A. OBSESSIVE MENTAL ATTITUDEWINNING WITH THE FIRST PUNCHTHE AMAZING SECRETS OF MARTIAL ARTS MASTERSTHE AMAZING SECRETS OF MARTIAL ARTS FITNESSTIME OUT FOR BULLIESTHE SECRET OF KIWhy the Techniques Found in This Book WillWorkThe techniques found in this book come primarily from martial art techniques and many people are prejudiced againstmartial arts because in America the martial arts do not have the excellent and respected reputation they do in the Orient.The reason due to the fact that many people in America profess themselves to be better than they are and they have too littleknowledge and too poor of technique but are going around telling everyone that they are the greatest. Only one person canbe the greatest. So they usually find themselves in compromising situations such as breaking their hands trying to breakbricks, or getting punched out by a girl. But this does not mean that the techniques and the art form that they have learnedare not effective. It only means that they are not effective in using them. A gun will certainly kill you, but first you have tohit the person with the bullet. So martial art techniques are definitely effective but first the person doing them must be ableto hit the target with the right technique.The martial arts are just that, art forms, and as such are beautiful to watch and tend to become a way of life with the truepractioners. They are techniques that can be enjoyed and practiced for benefit by anyone, just as any great work of art canbe enjoyed by all viewers.The techniques found in this book do not just come from Karate, which is what many people think of when they hear thewords martial arts, but they come from Judo, and Jiu-Jitsu, Kung Fu, Aikido, Kendo, Zen, Yoga, and even psychology andballet. Techniques that can be applicable to all forms of sports have been utilized in this manual for the mutual benefit ofthe players and the fans. For no one wants to get hurt or see a player get hurt, and everyone wants maximum performance, apositive attitude and a stronger mind.Let us examine the facts:1.There is no better way in the world to learn how to fall without receiving an injury than to practice Judo fallingtechniques.2.The most flexible people in the world are ballerinas and karate men. The stretches taken from these two arts will enableyou to become as flexible as you wish.3.There is only one art form in the world that teaches you how to get hit without getting injured: Jiu-Jitsu, anditdoes notrequire any magical mystical powers. It is simply breath, muscle and mind control all put together to form a new identitycalled KI. (Just like the various pieces of metal are all put together and form a new machine called a car.)4.There is no better form or exercise to develop powers of concentration and mind control than techniques of meditationtaken from Zen and Yoga.5.Aikido is a 2,000 year old art form that enables one to overcome the largest of opponents with the minimal of effort bythe use of balance points and leverage.6.Breathing is both necessary to sustain life and vital in athletic performance, in relaxation and in concentration. If youdon’t believe me, hold your breath for a week, or try to sleep while breathing 70 times a minute. The best techniques ofbreath control in the world come from Yoga and its exercises.7.The most powerful method of striking or hitting another person or thing ever developed comes from Karate techniques ofweight shifting and striking. (Ever try to break a brick?)8.Techniques of one sport can be applied to make other sports more effective.So please do not find yourself being prejudiced against techniques found in this book before you even try them. Theysimply are the most effective means man has ever found to do the things described and if you will use them in your sport,you can improve your performance, develop a positive mental attitude and prevent most injuries. Keep an open mind,practice them and apply them in any way you wish. Adapt them to your style and use them at your discretion, but employthem and use them and you and your sport will greatly benefit.
