Mug Punting
This collection of real-life racing stories is told through the eyes of mug punter David Atkinson as he embarks on a roller-coaster journey of discovery to the heart, soul and nether regions of horse racing. Along the way there is time to revel in the maelstrom of meetings at Cheltenham, Ascot and.....Towcester; and by turns be intoxicated by thrilling winners, spellbound by staying chasers and lubricated by real ale. The true spirit of racing is captured here in healthy dollops: sublime talent, Corinthian competition and touching naivety, as well as good humour, bad punting and worse hangovers all wrapped up in a parcel of rich history and friendship.

The Secrets of Ghost Hand Kung Fu Levels 7-9
This is the training manual for levels 7-9 of Ghost Hand Kung Fu. Ghost Hand Kung Fu is a short-armed method, where the arms are kept close to the body. It gives one the ability to execute fast, multiple strikes with deadly accuracy to an opponent's vital points. The art stresses breath work and being able to separately use and control the internal opening and closing movements of each and every joint on the body. It allows one to fight and counter according to the opponent's pressure, rather than fighting from sight. Ghost Hand also incorporates joint locks, throws, and low kicks mostly from the waist down, attacking legs, knees, and feet. There is a lot of qigong work within Ghost Hand forms, making it a true internal/external martial art.

Poison Hand
Ever wonder how the Chinese Kung Fu masters could find a target on the human body the size of a pinhead and strike it with exactly the amount of fingertip pressure at just the right angle to cause instant or delayed death? Here's how... Most books on Dim Mak, the Delayed Death Touch of martial arts legend, only show you one part of the system so that it is not easily learned and put to bad use by some unscrupulous warlord. They show you the fists, but don't tell you how to use them. They show you the points but don't show you how to strike them. None of them show you the antidotes to these deadly perversions of the science of acupuncture. But, we do... * ORIGINAL 77 POISON HANDS * CHI-MA The Death Touch * STOP THE HEART PUNCH * TRIPLE TOUCH OF DEATH * 27 QUICKEST and MOST VULNERABLE POINTS * ALARM POINT METHOD * PLUS!!!
