About this product: There is nothing pretty or clean about brawling. It hurts, its frightening, its brutal and its ugly. If you accept the fact that all fighting is dirty all the time, then you must take advantage of every dirty trick you can muster. Thats where this book comes in.
The ripping, poking, pinching and pressing techniques in this book emphasize quick, vicious delivery to the eyes, throat, ears, groin, nerve points and other acutely vulnerable targets on the human body. They range from annoying (to distract an attacker while you set up other moves) to devastatingly destructive, when there are no other options but to cause intense pain and potential injury. The criteria for their inclusion are that they must be simple, they must hurt and they must work in close-in fighting.
No streetfighting education is complete without the arsenal of nasty tricks in this book.

About this product: If you like Michael Palin and Terry Jones in Monty Python, then you will like this video. This is the first of the Ripping Yarn series and I guarantee you will want to add the other two series as well to your video collection.
Episode 1-Tomkinsons School Days (1913): Beating the headmaster, fighting with a grizzly bear, and being nailed to the school wall. This isn't your typical English public school, but then you have never attended Graybridge. Michael Palin has two roles. He plays the main character Tomkinson, a young school boy who will do anything to escape from school. Michael also plays the head schoolmaster. Every school has a bully, and Grayson is not only mean, but very well dressed. My favorite scene is where Tomkinson is in the school sanatorium (hospital), and his mom comes to visit. He begs his mother to let him come home and he looks and sounds so innocent. Terry Jones appears in this only episode as one of the teachers and the guest speaker. Later on Tomkinson gets into big trouble and is punished by doing the 30 mile hop. This is my favorite episode and has plenty of laughs.
Episode 2- Escape from Stalag Luft 112B (1917): In this episode the narrator tells us the story of Major Edwin Phipps. Major Phipps played by Michael Palin has attempted over 500 escapes. Now in real life if you escaped from prison and was caught, you either would be shot or punished. Instead, Major Phipps is sent to Stalag Luft 112B, a prison camp for the privilege British officers. It's kind of a summer camp except with guards. The guards are funny characters, and so is the General. Michael also has a small role as a blond hair solider who cries because his ex-wife got remarried. One thing I like about this episode is Major Phipps determination and how he makes an airplane out of toliet roll holders.
Episode 3- Golden Gordon (1935): Michael Palin plays Gordon Ottershaw. Gordon is a very avid fan of his favorite English football team Barnestoneworth United. English football is soccer for us Americans. His son is even named Barnestoneworth. He comes home after his team loses and begins to throw things. He then takes off and begins to throw things at the pub. He is very depressed and to make things worse the team is being sold to a scrap company. Now what to do? He pedals his bike all over the English countryside to bring the old team back. It's an episode that is fun and Gordon's behavior reminds me when my favorite hockey team loses, but I don't go to the extreme of throwing things. If you watch carefully, you may even spot an ex-Python. See the credits if you don't know who it is.

About this product: In American Roulette, Richard Marcus tells his never-before-heard story, of ripping off casinos. The book follows Marcus, along with several of the world's great professional casino cheaters, as he travels from Las Vegas to London and Monte Carlo, pilfering large sums of money from casinos by performing sleight of hand magic tricks with gaming chips. As skilled cheaters, they back up their moves with psychological setups to convince pit bosses that they're watching legitimate high rollers getting lucky, while in fact they're being ripped off blind.
With the exploding growth of casino gambling, heightened by Indian reservation and riverboat expansion, more and more elaborate casino cheaters are illegally assaulting the green-felt, getting rich off of novice casino personnel. Richard Marcus's insider story is a window into the hidden world of intriguing personalities and tense situations he encounters as a member of expert casino-cheating teams who use their wits to turn the odds upside down and "earn" millions. American Roulette is a fascinating story not only for those who occasionally casino-gamble, but for everyone with a little larceny in their heart.
