Sinopsis

Reflex Training explores the science-backed methods to enhance reaction time, peripheral vision, and movement precision, skills vital in sports, fitness, and daily life. It emphasizes that improved reflexes aren't just innate; specific training drills can sharpen responses, boosting athletic performance and minimizing injury risk. The book details how sensory input translates to motor output, highlighting the neurological basis for these improvements. For example, athletes can significantly cut down response times through focused auditory and visual drills.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the basic science of reflexes and the nervous system. It then transitions to practical applications, presenting drills for improving reaction time, expanding peripheral awareness, and refining movement accuracy. Divided into three key sections, the book covers reaction time, peripheral vision, and movement precision, culminating in integrated training programs tailored to various sports.

 
The approach is evidence-based, relying on scientific studies and kinesiological analyses to validate the presented drills.

Other Ways to Win - A...

Lee Craigie

WINNER: Vikki Orvice Women’s Sports Writing Award, Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards

‘I rode back down the hill to the athlete’s village. Some of Team Scotland had been watching on the big screen and I arrived to hugs of congratulations. I went inside for a shower and ceremoniously dropped my heart rate monitor into the bin. It was the first day of the rest of my life.’

A little before 1.30 p.m. on Sunday 21 July 2013, Lee Craigie crossed the finish line at Cathkin Braes in the southern outskirts of Glasgow several minutes ahead of her nearest competitor to become the British cross-country mountain bike champion. Lee’s win was the culmination of seven years of training and sacrifice, but it marked the beginning of the end of her competitive career; less than a year later, at the same venue, this time representing her native Scotland at the Commonwealth Games, she crossed the line and quit professional bike racing for good.

Lee Craigie is one of Scotland’s great bike racers, yet she has accomplished much more since retiring. In Other Ways to Win she tells her story of growing up near Glasgow and discovering the freedom of cycling – skipping French lessons and heading off into the Campsie Fells to see just how far she could ride. These teenage adventures established cycling as the thread which would run through her life – not only through her racing life and into a new life of two-wheeled adventure, but also through the positive impact she would have on the lives of others, particularly encouraging other women through her work with the Adventure Syndicate. Written with breathtaking honesty, she recounts epic adventures along the Tour Divide, Silk Road and the Highland Trail 550, and examines themes of friendship, loss, identity and the power of the outdoors – and of course cycling.

Lee's story is a welcome reminder that there is more than one way to win at cycling – and life.

The Gentle Cult - How Brazilian...

Ronson Bronson

Nobody joins a cult. They just start training jiu-jitsu.
From a carnival tent in 1914 Brazil to the UFC octagon in 1993, The Gentle Cult traces how one family turned a Japanese martial art into a global belief system, complete with founding myths, dietary codes, loyalty oaths, lineage hierarchies, and a word for heretics: creontes.
This is the story of Mitsuyo Maeda, the wandering judoka who fought for money across three continents before handing the art to a seventeen-year-old opportunist named Carlos Gracie. Of how Carlos built an empire from a thirty-square-meter storefront in Rio, using challenge matches, hand-written press releases, and a byzantine dietary code to control everything from what his students ate to who they were allowed to fight. Of how his youngest brother Hélio, too frail to train but too stubborn to stop, reverse-engineered the entire art and got turned into a saint.
It is the story of Rorion Gracie, who packed two gis into a duffel bag, set up shop in a Torrance garage, and changed combat sports forever with one night of pay-per-view television in 1993. Of the Machado brothers, cousins who absorbed everything the Gracie system built and quietly walked away to build something better in Hollywood and Texas. Of Rickson Gracie, the ghost in the machine, the name that stops conversations, the ascended master that no institution can contain or franchise.
And it is about what the art became: a belt economy, a franchise empire, a wellness industry, a podcast religion. About the influencers who inherited the Gracie promotional genius and scaled it across platforms Carlos Gracie Senior could never have imagined.
Sharp, satirical, and written with genuine affection for the mat, The Gentle Cult is the book the jiu-jitsu world did not know it needed.
Tap early. Tap often. And don't take yourself too seriously.
