In this book, Kansetsu-waza, nine of the world’s leading exponents in arm-locks give a remarkable insight into their unique techniques. British World Champion Neil Adams and USA’s double Olympic Champion Kayla Harrison introduce the most effective and commonly used Ne-waza technique of the lot – Juji gatame. They are joined by a number of other Juji-gatame specialists, including Mark Huizinga of the Netherlands, GB’s Winston Gordon and Euan Burton, and Germany’s Udo Quellmalz and Ole Bischof. Each of them showcase a different variation of Juji-gatame, with entries from behind, to the side and off-the-back. There’s also a chance to learn Juji-gatame as a quick transition technique, from a number of different gripping scenarios and in combination with other Ne-waza. Ashi-sangaku-garami is brought to you by Bischof, with GB’s Craig Fallon teaching the armlock that is synonymous with his ‘Fallon Roll’ - Hiza-gatame. Finally, Burton and Russia’s Kirill Denisov will show you two incredible Kansetsu-waza that are initiated from standing. Burton’s Ude-gatame is launched from his very effective Russian arm grip, with Denisov’s Ude-gatame coming from a chop-down. Groundwork descriptions and tuition are accompanied by incredible photographic sequences, with the key technical moments highlighted.

Each of the 49 film entries gives full credits, including casts, characters, crew, date of release, location, and cost, backgrounds for directors and main players, and comments and anecdotes from interviews with Murphy's colleagues.

In sports, not all the long shots who succeed are athletes. In 1984, Tom Hammond, a forty-year-old sportscaster who had primarily worked in Kentucky and the Southeast, got an unlikely opportunity to appear on the NBC Sports telecast of the inaugural Breeders' Cup. Assigned to report from the stall area on what was supposed to be a single broadcast, Hammond performed so well that an NBC executive offered him a chance to call NFL games on the spot. That broadcast launched Hammond's thirty-four-year career with NBC Sports and his rise to the top levels of American television sportscasting. Along with cowriter Mark Story, Hammond pulls back the curtain to reveal how a Kentucky native who started out reading horse racing results on Lexington radio went on to broadcast from thirteen Olympic Games. While covering Thoroughbred racing for NBC, Hammond broadcast sixteen Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes races and eleven runnings of the Belmont Stakes, including American Pharoah's historic 2015 Triple Crown victory. Hammond offers glimpses into his time as the play-by-play voice for Notre Dame football, calling NBA and NFL games, and his long-running stint announcing Southeastern Conference men's basketball for the league's syndicated TV package. Races, Games, and Olympic Dreams is an intimate and gripping look at Hammond's experiences, including his coverage of Olympic track and field, figure skating, speed skating, ice dancing, diving, and basketball events. Hammond worked with broadcasting luminaries such as Dick Enberg, Bob Costas, Cris Collinsworth, and Bill Walton, and encountered world-class athletes like Allyson Felix, Michael Jordan, Sarah Hughes, and Peyton Manning. Although his career has spanned the nation and the world, Hammond's roots have always remained firmly planted in the Bluegrass State.
Harvey Mackay, Doris Christopher, Pete Dawkins, Clay Jones and John Pappajohn know that the answer to how you recover from career toppling adversity, and then go on to achieve pinnacles of success lies in firsthand knowledge of "the adversity paradox". They all attest to having found that the knowledge they gained from overcoming adversity played such a crucial role in their success trajectories, they now consider adversity a friend. While many motivational business books promise easy access to prosperity and power by way of secret insight, quick and easy steps, or "insider tips" that are dubious at best, The Adversity Paradox tells it straight and offers no secret formula or silver bullet; instead it offers candid accounts from those whose skills, resourcefulness, and confidence have been tested by adversity and who have put their misfortunes to good use by gaining invaluable business lessons from them. The paths to success are diverse, but The Adversity Paradox identifies patterns that anyone can study and learn from. Business people working to overcome humble beginnings, lack of knowledge, unexpected setbacks, or any manner of misfortune may find the greatest tool for creating business success lies in this new book.
