The Flywheel
For Humble Mother Truckers Who Want to Hit Really, Really Hard
Listen carefully and try to keep up!
The concepts in this book can help you hit a lot harder. If you do the work, you’ll make the person holding the focus mitt gasp when you hit it. You may pop an air shield or break a heavy bag in half. In self-defense (don’t pick fights) you could drop your attacker to the pavement like a cold side of beef. It could save your life.
Whether you’re into self-defense, sparring or winning tournaments, it’s good to know how to hit hard and hit fast with little effort, and how to do it while moving smoothly, maintaining your balance and exposing yourself to low risk.

That's why we've presented you with 101 activities ranging from those which would cause any rational person to tremble in fear — like organizing your office — to things that you may consider just an ordinary weekend pastime — like jumping into the abyss with a giant rubber band tied around your waist. The plan here is to put some dare in your derrière, and some juice in your caboose, some whoosh in your toosh. And to help you get out of the rut created by your butt. So what are you waiting for? Pick a chapter and put some hum in your bum, some flair in your fanny, and some kick in your can! After you’ve done a dozen or so of these activities, you’ll look back and wonder how you ever managed to spend so much time parked on your posterior!
Art of Japanese Swordsmanship
by Nicklaus Suino
The original purpose of iaido was to slay an opponent with one stroke of the sword upon unsheathing; today it is practiced as a martial art, one that improves concentration, develops strength and coordination, and cultivates awareness of an ancient culture and its traditions. This manual of Eishin-Ryu (or "Pure Faith") iaido teaches the most widely practiced sword style, and is illustrated with step-by-step drawings to help students, from beginners to advanced, hone their forms and techniques. Introductory chapters explain the history and evolution of the art, the Japanese sword and related equipment, and the etiquette and code of the samurai, while an extensive glossary and bibliography are provided for further reference.

Filled with "fish stories," social commentary, and wry humor, THE DRINKING GAME is a character study of a man born in an age long past, when honor and dignity were valued and mastery was a way of life.
