6. Sensei Mentor Teacher Coach (Wilder/Kane)

“Finally, a book that will actually move the needle in closing the leadership skills gap found in all aspects of our society.” – Dan Roberts , CEO and President, Ouellette & Associates

The fact of the matter is, however, that true leadership really isn’t about you. It’s about giving back, offering your best to others so that they can find the best in themselves. The methodologies in this book help you become the leader you were meant to be by bringing your goals and other peoples’ needs together to create a powerful, combined vision. Learn how to access the deeper aspects of who you are, your unique qualities, and push them forward in actionable ways. Acquire this vital information and advance your leadership journey today.

7. Dirty Ground (Kane/Wilder)

“Fills a void in martial arts training.” – Loren W. Christensen , Martial Arts Masters Hall of Fame member

This book addresses a significant gap in most martial arts training, the tricky space that lies between sport and combat applications where you need to control a person without injuring him (or her). Techniques in this region are called “drunkle,” named after the drunken uncle disrupting a family gathering. Understanding how to deal with combat, sport, and drunkle situations is vital because appropriate use of force is codified in law and actions that do not accommodate these regulations can have severe repercussions. Martial arts techniques must be adapted to best fit the situation you find yourself in. This book shows you how.

8. Scaling Force (Kane/Miller)

“If you’re serious about learning how the application of physical force works—before, during and after the fact—I cannot recommend this book highly enough.” – Lt. Jon Lupo , New York State Police

Conflict and violence cover a broad range of behaviors, from intimidation to murder, and require an equally broad range of responses. A kind word will not resolve all situations, nor will wristlocks, punches, or even a gun. This book introduces the full range of options, from skillfully doing nothing to employing deadly force. You will understand the limits of each type of force, when specific levels may be appropriate, the circumstances under which you may have to apply them, and the potential costs, legally and personally, of your decision. If you do not know how to succeed at all six levels covered in this book there are situations in which you will have no appropriate options. More often than not, that will end badly.
