The newest video series by Paladin Press, The Art and Science of Mook Jong builds on that foundation of technique, taking your fighting skills to the next level and beyond. In the first volume, The Blade Set, Joseph prepares you for a real knife fight by teaching a short form on the dummy that burns in simultaneous block and attack moves to damage your attacker, cripple him, or end the fight once and for all. In volume two, The Club Set, Joseph teaches a hard-core, street ready fighting system using the club to finish your opponent without the complicated flow drills or finesse-filled techniques. Volume three, Slam Set Evolutions, Simonet teaches counter-grappling techniques designed to demolish a seasoned groundfighter; takedown defenses that will not only stun your opponent, but also set him up for a devastating throw; and an improved putar kepala throw guaranteed to both disorient and destroy an attacker.

To be a true martial artist, a true warrior, you need to refine your fighting skills to the highest level: The Art and Science of Mook Jong can put you on the path to combat excellence.

So listen along as we speak to Joseph about this incredible video series and what inspired him to release such great information to Paladin Press.

In todayâs high-tech society, even the most advanced devices and systems are not failsafe. Tools can break or wear out, batteries can go dead, and all sorts of malfunctions can render the modern conveniences we rely on totally useless. If quick replacements of failed items are not readily available, the ability to improvise and adapt in survival situations become very practical.

That is why James Ballou decided to write his new book, Makeshift Workshop Skills for Survival and Self-Reliance: Expedient Ways to Make Your Own Tools, Do Your Own Repairs, and Construct Useful Things Out of Raw and Salvaged Materials, released by Paladin Press in May 2009. Makeshift Workshop Skills provides precise instruction in makeshift metalworking, practical calculating skills, and resourceful salvaging, plus dozens of practical tips for the craftsman or handyman who might need this information in an emergency or who simply enjoys learning about alternative ways to handle home workshop projects.

In this podcast, Jim tells why he decided to expand on the home workshop material found in his first book, the best-selling Long-Term Survival in the Coming Dark Age. Featuring amusing and informative accounts of his experiences working with what most people would consider junk, Jim provides the listener with a wide range of remarkably creative ideas for becoming more self-sufficient, including how to set up the ideal home workshop. Jim, who is in the insurance business, explains why he calls his new book âan insurance policy for the future.â In addition, he discusses the information in Long-Term Survival and offers a compelling argument for why survivalists are making a positive contribution to themselves, their families and communities, and the nation.

Listen while we speak to James about his Paladin books, how he became so interested in makeshift projects, and what he has planned for his next Paladin project, which is he already hard at work on.

Loren has established himself as the go-to guy for everything from practical instruction on winning an ugly street fight to escaping a riot to surviving when school or workplace violence erupts. In the course of his life, Loren has met and worked with many people who can be called âwarriorsââpeople who run toward danger rather than away from it; people who protect and rescue others even at the cost of their own safety.

In Warriors: More on Living with Courage, Discipline, and Honor, Loren presents an expanded and updated version of his 2004 best-seller and allows a diverse mix of fellow warriors to tell, in their own words, what itâs like to sacrifice, to train, to fear, to protect ... even to kill ... to accomplish what needs to be done.

We spoke with Loren about his background in law enforcement and his experiences in martial arts and how they relate to real world self-defense. To see complete descriptions of Lorenâs titles (including video clips of his most popular DVDs), search our online store at www.paladin-press.com today.

Ted is a veteran analyst of the sports gambling industry who has worked as a football handicapper. Raised in a sports-minded family, Murray came to the realization the summer before his sophomore year in high school that his limited athletic abilities were only going to take him so far and that the only way to feed his great passion for athletics was through gambling.
