The last word in Self-defence
African Goju is a survival system based on reality and common sense with attention to detail that makes it different from other disciplines. It is not only taught as conventional martial arts, but also as an attempt to teach the psychology of self-defence, based on one’s way of life, relying on the principle that things will go wrong, only if you allow them to. Can you keep your senses after drinking, so that you are not taken advantage of? Could you defend yourself in a fight? If you go into a nightclub; how would you cope, if trouble exploded? What of a burglary, whilst you are sleeping or in the shower? Is your car/house safe against thieves? How secure are you at work, in case of an attack by an irate customer? How smart are you, in order not to be taken in by a con man? How would you handle emotional/mental/physical abuse, betrayal or infidelity? The art of knowing how, where, why and when to fight or not to fight, and the ability to withstand both mental and physical pain; when coupled with extremely effective defence techniques, makes it the most realistic, powerful and compelling system in the world.
Female Independence
This book will help women avoid the pitfalls that can make her life hell; but more importantly, it will put her into a frame of mind that will allow her to enjoy life and never be taken for granted, used and abused. Women are being mentally coerced, emotionally abused, physically attacked, sexually assaulted and financially deceived; and not much is being done to crush the cancer, until it is too late, after the event. It is imperative she takes full-responsibility for her own protection and not expect anyone to do it for her. Having a high-flying job and earning lots of money will not make you independent, if you cannot be yourself how, where and when you want to, because you are afraid of upsetting a coercive boss, work colleague, husband, partner, child or ‘friend’. If someone arranges for your house to be burgled; harms your children; targets your cash; spreads a vicious rumour against you; denigrates you in public; causes you to lose your job; insults your religion, ethnic origin or sexual proclivity; then he/she would have beaten you...without touching you! You cannot be independent if you are forced to worry about any of these obstacles.
Roar of the Tigress
This book highlights certain basic rules in life; which if you do not follow, will always end you up on the losing end. You will have to use your common sense and imagination to adapt what I teach to suit yourself; so that you are never in a position whereby you will be attacked, used and abused. Most women are attacked because they either leave their guard open or are unaware of the potential dangers; and this allows the attacker to succeed. A man attacking a woman goes against a fundamental rule laid down by nature; which says that because a female is a potential child-bearer, she is vital to the survival of the human race and therefore needs to be protected, respected and cherished. This rule is frequently abused because the modern woman is now much more than a child-bearer; and has become every much as competitive as the modern man. It is this conflict between the sexes that is the main cause of women not being treated with the respect they deserve.

Hand Is My Sword
Karate means "empty–hand," but the one who masters this book will never be empty–handed. In fact, he will be a master of the ultimate in self–defense, for here are the martial arts fundamentals, the basic katas and techniques as taught by Robert Trias, holder of the eighth degree Black Belt. These movements and techniques are vividly brought to life by more than six hundred striking illustrations, many of them picturing Master Trias and his aides and pupils. Along with the imposing illustrations are important charts not usually found in martial arts books of this kind. The charts show the fatal and disabling points of the body and the nerve centers–for karate can be a deadly game, and those who practice it must know well the significance of the term "killer karate." For student and instructor alike, this important manual will open new dimensions, new horizons, and in the give–and–take of life will teach the properly oriented how to give much more than he takes. It will give him a new interest, a new zest for living, with the confidence that he can move mountains. Above all, it will teach him that to master others, he must first learn to master himself.
Karate-Do
Linking the time when karate was a strictly Okinawan art of self-defense shrouded in the deepest secrecy and the present day, when it has become a martial art practiced throughout the world, is Gichin Funakoshi, the "Father of Karate-do." Out of modesty, he was reluctant to write this autobiography and did not do so until he was nearly ninety years of age. Trained in the Confucian classics, he was a schoolteacher early in life, but after decades of study under the foremost masters, he gave up his livelihood to devote the rest of his life to the propagation of the Way of Karate. Under his guidance, techniques and nomenclature were refined and modernized, the spiritual essence was brought to t...
