Wrath of the Dragon - The Real Fights of Bruce Lee

John Little

Beschreibung

NO RULES. NO PROBLEM.
		 
Bruce Lee remains the gold standard that all martial artists are compared to. But could he actually fight? World Champions in karate competition have gone on record to point out that he never once competed in tournaments. Were his martial abilities merely a trick of the camera?
		 
For the first time ever, Bruce Lee authority and bestselling author John Little takes a hard look at Bruce Lee’s real-life fights to definitively answer these questions with over 30 years of research that took him thousands of miles. Little has tracked down over 30 witnesses to the real fights of Bruce Lee as well as those who were present at his many sparring sessions (in which he was never defeated) against the very best martial artists in the world.
		 
From the mean streets of Hong Kong, to challenge matches in Seattle and Oakland, to the sets of his iconic films where he was challenged repeatedly, this is the incredible real-life fighting record of the man known as the “Little Dragon,” who may well have been the greatest fighter of the 20th century.

PREFACE

As a soldier, you can be sent to any area of the world. It may be in a temperate, tropical, arctic, or subarctic region. You expect to have all your personal equipment and your unit members with you wherever you go. However, there is no guarantee it will be so. You could find yourself alone in a remote area—possibly enemy territory—with little or no personal gear. This manual provides information and describes basic techniques that will enable you to survive and return alive should you find yourself in such a situation.

If you are a trainer, use this information as a base on which to build survival training. You know the areas to which your unit is likely to deploy, the means by which it will travel, and the territory through which it will travel. Read what this manual says about survival in those particular areas and find out all you can about those areas. Read other books on survival. Develop a survival-training program that will enable your unit members to meet any survival situation they may face. It can make the difference between life and death.

Ian Holloway: The (mostly)...

David Clayton, Ian Holloway

An audiobook like no other from one of the beautiful game’s most charismatic managers 
 
“From eccentric kit men to ghosts. From tea ladies to cats and dogs. From UFOs to moments in football that I will never forget – or in some cases live down…” 
 
Nobody does offbeat like Ian Holloway – known to one and all in football as ‘Ollie’. 
 
He has been dubbed as ‘inspirational’ by those who played for him, a ‘genius’ by those who owned the clubs he managed and made huge profits for, and a loveable rogue by football fans in general. 
 
Now, he turns that wisdom, passion for the game – and occasional feistiness – into a reflection of football that only he could provide. 
 
With over 100 topics covering everything from VAR to the Saudi Pro League – from FFP to man-buns, mullets, playing from the back, pundits, the penchant for employing German 
 
youth coaches nobody has heard of, plus American ownership, The (mostly) Football World According to Ollie is a one-stop shop to the bonkers world of football and so much more. 
 
Add in the odd curveball of fishing, dad dancing, karaoke and his genuine love of women’s football and you have the perfect read or gift for any football fan.

He teaches a realistic swing for life, one that will avoid injury but still deliver power and accuracy.

Survival - Essential Skills for...

Coral Nunez

Survival is not just about enduring extreme situations—it’s about adapting, thinking critically, and using the resources around you to stay alive. Whether you find yourself lost in the wilderness, stranded after a disaster, or facing unexpected dangers, survival is a combination of mental resilience, resourcefulness, and essential skills. 
One of the most crucial aspects of survival is understanding the psychology behind it. Fear, panic, and despair can be just as deadly as any external threat. The ability to stay calm, assess the situation, and make rational decisions greatly increases your chances of survival. Training your mind to respond with logic rather than emotion can help you overcome the initial shock of an emergency and focus on solutions. 
In any survival situation, knowing how to prioritize your needs is essential. The Rule of Threes is a widely accepted principle that highlights the urgency of different survival necessities. A person can survive three minutes without air, three hours without shelter in extreme weather, three days without water, and three weeks without food. This guideline emphasizes that while food is important, finding water and creating shelter should take precedence in most situations.
