The Knockout is the most dramatic and devastating moment in sport. There is nothing to rival it: Not the last second goal, not the basket on the buzzer, not the putt that drops on the eighteenth green. In terms of its brutality and finality, it stands alone. It's a bolt of lightning; fascinating and frightening; a shot of pure adrenaline that only the very rarest moments can provide. This book examines what it's like for the people at the center of that storm.

Standup wrestling without a gi! What a concept... This is to say that for various reasons standing grappling seems to be given short shrift in the martial arts world, either due to a lack of space, liability issues, or a general indifference regarding how one ends up on the ground, so long as one can work well from there. So it would seem that aside from those who are looking to be pro fighters, standup training will tend to be cursory, and perhaps with good reason. That said it is a fascinating and nuanced game, and fun to watch as we see it survive , albeit in a theatrical form, in the ...

This form may look very different than the modern Yang Family 108 Movement form that is widely taught around the world today. Although all the standard frames or movements are in this form, the extended transitions as well as the obvious Silk Reeling clearly show the original martial application of Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan. This “Yang Lu Chan Old Style Tai Chi Form” is considered an advanced version of what is commonly known as “The Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan” taught all over the world today. Master Yang Cheng Fu developed his very popular form in 1928. However, the forms practiced ...

It's said there's more philosophy that can be found on the mats of a jiu jitsu academy than in any Ivy League school in America. The Wrong Side of 35 is an exploration of that idea, not from the perspective of a world champion, the head of a global affiliate, or by a team of celebrity athletes... but rather from the lens of a regular guy from a small town, an aging hobbyist who wanted to answer for himself just what he had learned over the course of his grappling career, what it was for, and what it all meant.

Story
Ballyhoo! The Roughhousers, Con Artists, and Wildmen Who Invented Professional Wrestling is a history of professional wrestling’s formative period in the U.S., from roughly 1874 to 1941, and the contested interplay of wrestlers and promoters who built the “sport” as we know it. During this period, the major conventions that would define wrestling to the present day were perfected and codified, as wrestling morphed from a rough sport practiced on farms and at town gatherings to melodramatic mass entertainment that reliably drew large crowds in cities across the nation.
