Training Mission One
For more than 4 decades I've worked to create a program that constituted the essence of combat. Style-free. Arts-free. Sports-free. The essence of hand, stick, knife and gun fighting. I envisioned a person skilled in unarmed combatives, yet armed with a rifle, or a pistol, or a stick or a knife, or all of them. Someone that could fight standing, seated, kneeling and on the ground, utilizing their "hands," or whatever weapon they had. And they could do it in a way that was morally and legally necessary to win and survive the crime or war situation. These Training Mission books document my mission." - Hock Hock's Training Mission One is an unarmed and multi-weapon collection of his Force Necessary, Level 1 hand, stick, knife and gun course materials. The Stop 6 training program provides the skeleton for the organization of this material. Stop 1 contains all the vital, pre-fight, pre-crime moves, interview and ambush, counter-stalking information and intelligence, plus the stress drills and scenarios of weapon, quick draws. The unarmed level covers all the Level 1 strikes, kicks and grappling. A practitioner may choose to study one or all of those 4 courses. The book is divided into two parts.Part 1 covers the pre-crime, pre-fight criteria of Stop 1 of the Stop 6. Part 2 covers the physical and mental requirements, skills, drills and scenarios specific for hand, stick, knife and gun level 1.

He spent time cycling as many rail trails and canal towpaths as he could in Spain, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the UK. He also visited heritage sites, including numerous castles, battlefields, churches and a wide range of museums.Travelling for months outdoors meant dealing with a range of weather, from the hottest day ever in France to rainy days in Spain to freezing summer days in Scotland.He stayed with many helpful people but also camped in unusual places, from abandoned buildings to sporting fields to sneakily camping beside castles.While on this journey he had a few issues with bags going missing, shoes falling apart and parts of his bicycle randomly breaking.

A fundamental reevaluation of how to be a sports fan by an acclaimed baseball writer.Sports fandom isn't what it used to be. Owners and executives increasingly count on the blind loyalty of their fans and too often act against the team's best interest. Sports fans are left deliberating not only mismanagement, but also political, health, and ethical issues.In Rethinking Fandom: How To Beat The Sports Industrial Complex at Its Own Game, sportswriter (and lifelong sports fan) Craig Calcaterra outlines endemic problems with what he calls the Sports-Industrial Complex, such as intentionally tanking a season to get a high draft pick, scamming local governments to build cushy new stadiums, actively subverting the players, bad stadium deals, racism, concussions, and more. But he doesn't give up on professional sports. In the second half of the book, he proposes strategies to reclaim joy in fandom: rooting for players instead of teams, being a fair-weather fan, becoming an activist, and other clever solutions.With his characteristic wit and piercing commentary, Calcaterra argues that fans have more power than they realize to change how their teams behave.

Puma
The Puma sports car brand is a big success story in Brazil as it was Porsche in Germany or Ferrari in Italy. For eleven years, the Puma GTB was the most expensive car available in Brazil. The sports cars based on Volkswagen technology also benefited from this fact. The successes on the race track in the early years still have an effect today. Today, Puma - cars are driven in historic racing events all over the world - and even today, the Puma is still an exotic car on the roads outside Brazil. However, few people know that Puma did not only build sports cars. Little is known about the Puma camper, the Puma camper van, the Puma buses and also the truck division. Particularly interesting is the Eletron - a truck with e-drive, which was ready for pre-production in 1981. For the first time, the story of this worldwide unique automobile manufacturer is told here. Interesting for collectors of exotic and rare vehicles is the treatment of the model care. Over the years, the vehicles were optimized, adapted to the tastes of the time and to the legal framework. The knowledge about this is far from complete, but is made available to the general public here for the first time.
The Kings of Strength
More than a century ago, the barrel-chested strongman clad in leopard skins, Roman sandals and carrying an oversized barbell was a common performer in fairs, circuses and vaudeville theaters. In 1911, before this phenomenon had disappeared, French gym owner, journalist and athlete Edmond Desbonnet published a colorful history of these mighty performers. Since he knew and interviewed many of these men (and women), Desbonnet was able to put a human face on the strongmen and strongwomen who made their livings by performing spectacular strength stunts for the entertainment of the public. Among these were super-strong athlete Louis Uni, known as Apollon; Eugen Sandow, the mighty Adonis of the stage; the great strongwoman Kati Sandwina Brumbach and many others who entertained audiences by lifting barbells, automobiles, horses and even elephants. Now translated to English and extensively annotated, The Kings of Strength records and preserves the biographies of more than 200 strength performers and bodybuilders from ancient times up to the early 1900s. The book provides a vital contribution to both theatrical and athletic history, while exploring the universal fascination with strength and muscular physiques.
