"Северная столица станет одной из площадок Cirque du Soleil. С этого года у именитого коллектива есть эксклюзивный партнер в Петербурге - Международный центр фестивалей и Праздников. А недавно вице-губернатор Алла Манилова подписала протокол о намерениях с основателем цирка Ги Лалиберте. Теперь на берегах Невы должна появиться постоянная креативная площадка. На ней будут создавать новые номера, готовить будущие шоу и тренировать российских циркачей."

"The dojo can be a perplexing place. Everything is different – the clothes, the atmosphere, the terminology, the etiquette…it truly is a whole different culture. Why then are we expected to jump in without any knowledge of what to expect? Even experienced students get tripped up by the intricacies of the martial arts. Every dojo has its own way of operating, but over the years I have found certain foundational concepts that lead practitioners to success and longevity in their training. I have also noticed some very common pitfalls that trap students in ways they never saw coming. It is my goal with this ebook to give students of all ages and ranks a deeper understanding of how to prosper in their chosen art."

Here are a few illustrations from the book."
