The Secrets of Ghost Hand Kung Fu Levels 4-6
This is the training manual levels 4-6 for 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.

Seven years later, in the year of the Bicentennial, D Jack finds himself providing a wide-range of services for the rich and famous at the Presidential Country Club.

During this time, he and Samantha gradually undergo a change from a simple to more complicated relationship but an unexpected incident will force D Jack to face his biggest challenge which in turn will determine the future path upon which he will travel.
Secrets of the Ninja
BACK IN PRINT! Bigger and Badder Than Ever!!! A cheap knock-off version of Secrets of the Ninja has recently been released by so called legitimate publishers who have long taken advantage of Master Kim's good name and kindness to rob him blind. We, his friends at DOJO Press, will no longer stand for it. We were working on revising Secrets of the Ninja when the publishers decided to have a go at releasing theirs. Ours is better. In this edition we have corrected the Kuji Kiri section and added many pictures and techniques not in the original publication. Their book has 153 pages and 199 photographs. Ours is 235 pages with more than 250 photographs of Ashida Kim in action, some never before seen. We therefore ask all loyal friends and fans of Ashida Kim to boycott the pirate edition and protest its sale wherever it may be found... DOJO Press is the sole distributor of Ashida Kim books and videos. hard cover, 236 pages, photos and illustrations

A definitive work of record, it is researched and written by two of the game's foremost historians and features the only complete GB Player register ever published, complemented by a wide variety of rare illustrations.

Patrick O'Brien's Grand Prix Rating System
The 2013 Formula One season was dominated by the Vettel/ Red Bull-Renault package, which won 13 of the 19 races. Many reckon that Vettel is one of the great drivers. Some however argue that Vettel was fortunate in having the fastest car, the Red Bull-Renault. Just how good was Vettel compared with his peers? This publication compares grand prix and Formula One drivers, cars and packages in simple arithmetic terms. For the first time the driver has been separated from the car and each is expressed as separate performance elements that make up the performance package. Just how much current four-time champion Vettel contributes to the Red Bull-Renault's recent dominance is explained and quantified. The author's analysis starts from the first car race in 1894, from Paris to Rouen, and includes over 1,200 grand prix races. The 17th volume of the Patrick O'Brien Grand Prix Rating System, this book is an appendix of season-summary tables from 1894-2016.
