Turning Fear Into Power $25.00
Turning Fear Into Power: The FAST Defense System by Bill Kipp
Everyone feels fear. Unfortunately, most people—even trained
martial artists—have received precious little guidance in how to handle it. As
a result, they typically either freeze like a deer in the headlights or flail
ineffectually when faced with a threat. Instead of accepting the adrenalized
state brought on by stressful situations as an inevitable, instinctual survival
response, they second-guess it, dread it, deny it and fight it.
In this book you’ll discover how to transform fear from dreaded enemy into
powerful ally. Using a dynamic self-defense technology known as adrenal stress
response training, author Bill Kipp has helped literally thousands of men, women
and children face their fear head-on, control it and harness it as the
tremendous source of power nature intended it to be. Here he describes how the
FAST Defense system develops awareness and communication skills that can help
you avoid being targeted as a victim, desensitize you to the verbal abuse and
threats that attackers use to control their victims, and equip you with verbal
defense skills that will stop most altercations before they ever become
physical. Finally, he reveals how this fast, effective, scenario-based training
methodology empowers you to unleash the fearsome force of adrenaline to fight
for your life when all else fails. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, photos, 272 pp.

Vital Targets (DVD) $49.95
Vital Targets: A Street-Savvy Guide to Targeting the Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Throat with Loren W. Christensen
When you’re fighting for your life, how hard you hit is often not nearly as important as where you hit. Veteran police officer and long-time martial artist Loren Christensen knows this well, and in this explosive video production from Paladin Press, he shows you how to hit the targets that will put any attacker out of commission. Drawing from more than 25 years of hard-core street experience and nearly 40 years as a martial artist, Christensen first explains why the eyes, ears, nose and throat are reliable fight-stopping targets. Then, using a simple angling system as a guide, Christensen teaches you how to instinctively target the vital areas of the face and neck from any angle, in virtually any situation. To ensure that you get the greatest effect from all your strikes, Christensen also teaches you the tricks of positioning your attacker to set him up for a strike and shows you which striking tools work best for specific targets. Finally, he shows you how to condition yourself both physically and psychologically to fight to the death, using little-known desensitization drills developed by military close-combat experts.

Warriors $20.00
Warriors: On Living with Courage, Discipline, and Honor by Loren W. Christensen
The word “warrior” is not new. The soldiers, cops, emergency rescue personnel and other men and women who face hardship and danger in service to others have always used it. But outside this warrior community, it was just a word with no great significance attached to it – that is, until September 11, 2001. After that, “warrior” became a buzzword. Most often it’s used properly, though sometimes its use has been a stretch of the definition. In compiling this collection of essays, Loren W. Christensen sought the true meaning, the essence, of warriorhood by going to the source, to those who live it. The writers who contributed to this work are a diverse mix, from soldiers, cops and SWAT officers to martial art masters to experts in the fields of workplace violence, theology and school safety. They are some of the finest warrior authors, warrior trainers and warrior scholars today. Many have faced death, survived and now teach others to do the same. Here they speak candidly on what it’s like to sacrifice, to train, to protect . . . Even to kill . . . To accomplish what needs to be done. Because that’s what a warrior does. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, 374 pp. ISBN 1-58160-454-8 $20.00

Choke 'Em Out $35.00 
Choke 'Em Out: 65 Chokes to End Any Fight Fast by Burton Richardson
Why learn chokes? A martial artist or street fighter who believes that he can survive solely on powerful punches and kicks may be in for a rude awakening when the fight ends up in a clinch on the concrete--where knockout power is tougher to generate--or the attacker turns out to be high as a kite, crazed and immune even to the pain of broken bones. Simply put, when striking isn’t working, you need to be able to go to the one sure fight ender: the choke. Author Burton Richardson’s broad experience in the martial arts includes instructor’s credentials in Jeet Kune Do Concepts, Filipino kali (under Guro Dan Inosanto) and Kali Ilustrisimo, as well as a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In this incredibly detailed volume filled with hundreds of step-by-step photos, he gives you the best techniques he knows for ending fights quickly by demonstrating a wide variety of quick and effective chokes. When you need to knock the fight out of someone fast, these chokes will become your go-to moves. 8 1/2 x 11, softcover, photos, 250 pp.
