Warrior's choose a life that requires them to stand between the predators and the innocents of the world and hold the line with [their own] blood. The Warrior's Manifesto is a concise and potent declaration of principles that chronicles the soul of the warrior by exploring the what, the why, and the way of those who protect and defend. Whether serving in the trenches or securing our streets, warriors choose a life that requires them to "stand between the predators and the innocents of the world and hold the line with [their own] blood," as Modell writes. The Warrior's Manifesto is a compelling defense of the role played by warriors in society. It will inspire those who answer the call to shield others, professionally or personally-and all those who appreciate what that means. "A magnificent treatise.

A riveting memoir by former MMA champion and Olympic wrestler, Ben Askren, who cut a polarizing path through amateur wrestling and professional mixed martial arts as a firebrand figure who fans loved or hated-but could never keep down. "This is a wonderful and revealing look at one of the greatest American athletes of the last twenty years." -Ariel Helwani? One of the most dominant college wrestlers in history, Ben Askren became a folk hero during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, before going on to become a multiple time MMA champion and one of the sport's biggest stars. Through it all, he emerged as a cult figure in combat sports. Here, in the pages of Funky, this record-breaking wrestler and polarizing UFC fighter shares how he came to dominate opponents while blazing a trail through competitors in unprecedented ways. Not blessed with natural athleticism, he revolutionized folkstyle wrestling by innovating his own technique, developing a scrambling, unorthodox style, which earned him the famous nickname, "Funky." "While legendary wrestler Ben Askren's memoir Funky is not a self-help book, it is one of the most helpful books you can read if you want to achieve more in life. Unlike the superficial portraits of success that most self-help books give, Funky explains in unvarnished detail the thoughtful persistence that is required-persistence that can take a long time to be rewarded, with plenty of setbacks along the way." -Alex Epstein, philosopher, energy expert, bestselling author, and BJJ Black Belt What ensued was an improbable takeover of combat sports by a firebrand who defied tradition, becoming the University of Missouri's first ever national champion while twice winning the prestigious Dan Hodge trophy. Now, Askren opens up about how he bucked convention, how he used his wrestling base to seize the world of cage-fighting, and how he eventually forced UFC president Dana White to end their decade-long public feud via a historic trade to give the fans what they wanted: Ben Askren in the UFC. Love him or hate him, win or lose, Ben Askren showed what determination means by staying true to one of his earliest revelations on the mats: "I was never going to let anybody outwork me." "Whether you are an elite level athlete or the furthest thing from it, Funky is an inspiring read for all." -Laura Sanko, broadcast analyst and reporter

Melanie Gibson was an independent woman with a good job, multiple college degrees, and a condo in the trendy part of town. She also had a few mental illnesses, a minor substance abuse problem, and rotten relationship skills. She was a high-functioning crazy who needed a good kick in the pants, literally and metaphorically. In early 2013, as a last desperate means to save her sanity, Melanie turned to a nearly forgotten childhood activity: the Korean martial art of taekwondo. As if the universe were listening, she discovered her West Texas childhood taekwondo instructors’ Grandmaster operated a taekwondo school a few miles from her home in Fort Worth, Texas—and she decided to start her training over as a white belt. In taekwondo, Melanie felt like she had a fresh start in more ways than one. She found an inner peace she’d never known before, a sense of community, a newfound confidence, and a positive outlook on life. The kicking and screaming she was doing in class quieted the long-term kicking and screaming in her mind. Funny and frank, Kicking and Screaming: A Memoir of Madness and Marital Arts is the story of Melanie’s life-changing journey from troubled, lost soul to confident taekwondo black belt.
