Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: As two young students begin their journey to become Black Belts, invaders arrive and forbid the practice of all martial arts! From the distant past comes a story about an old master, and the indomitable spirit he shares with two young students. This comic book shares the story of two students on their journey to become a Black Belt and the lessons they learn on that path. In addition to the story, the book includes bonus materials: a Taekwondo vocabulary sheet, and a list of the Taekwondo belts, forms and their symbolism.The word Taekwondo comes from three words which mean to kick with the foot, to punch with the fist, and follow a way of discipline. When you learn Taekwondo you go through a series of belts, starting with white, advancing through the color belts of yellow, green, blue, red on your way to becoming a Black Belt.With each belt you will learn a new form or poomse. Each poomse is a physical vocabulary of stances, blocks, kicks and punches used in Taekwondo. Each poomse has a name such as "Taeguk O Jang" and a symbol such as Air or Water. These symbols share with us key elements of life and character that we should always be mindful of.As you progress through the belts you learn increasingly challenging physical skills, and valuable life skills that apply to all areas of your life. The discipline of Taekwondo will greatly enhance not only your health but also your character and your ability to be successful in life.

Book excerpt: Our energetic heroine Julie aims for her next martial arts rank - The Belt of Fire! But will a new student get in her way? This long-awaited sequel to Julie Black Belt: The Kung Fu Chronicles picks up as Julie proudly wears her yellow belt and is eager to attain her next rank: orange! Still inspired by Brandy Wu, an action movie star, Julie now meets a new student in her class...but is he better than her? Can Julie learn to improve her abilities while becoming a gracious partner, and ultimately earning her own Belt of Fire? It's like when her heroine Brandy Wu in a movie seeks a treasure but must combat a mysterious opponent! Another experienced teacher gives Julie valuable advice, but is Julie brave enough to make this wisdom her own? Artist Charlene Chua’s colorful, action-packed illustrations make Julie’s quest one that any aspiring martial arts practitioner, as well as their parents and instructors, will enjoy. Children and parents identify with this spunky female star who is willing to give all she’s got. Julie is a fan favorite and young readers make her vivid story their own. Again this is an engaging introduction of martial arts to young children who enroll in after school programs. Inspired by a real girl in a taekwondo class, this story’s lessons are applicable to any martial art, such as karate, ju-jitsu, aikido, judo, and wrestling. Kung fu means a skill achieved through consistent dedication. But Julie discovers that knowing the correct moves isn’t the most important thing. Teachers appreciate how the story promotes respect, conflict resolution, and self-defense, which in turn improves focus and concentration. Training builds confidence and social skills and improves physical fitness (coordination, balance, posture). Artist Charlene Chua’s vibrant drawings capture Julie’s high-flying action with dynamism and verve. - - - "With its bright, action-packed cover in super hero style, this book will draw young readers in, especially those interested in martial arts... Girls, especially, may welcome a female protagonist in a kung fu book, but primary boys will most likely enjoy this story as well." - Puget Sound Council for Reviewing Children’s Literature/Media "On her quest for her next belt, Julie learns that it’s more important to look inside at your own progress than to compare yourself to someone else. She also learns the value of co-operation. The illustrations are colourful and fun, and even when the characters are just standing still, there is a feeling of action." - Pacific Wave Jiu Jitsu "Once again, Chin has provided young readers with a fun, informative and interesting story that should engage even the most reluctant reader while providing a rich source of information and thought-provoking concepts." - CM Magazine “Well written and beautifully illustrated, Julie Black Belt is the perfect inspiration for the young elementary age student. I loved this book for a number of reasons. I think is this a great inspiration for girls as it promotes physical and mental strength. I think it’s a great introduction to the martial arts – which is a very honorable and helpful discipline for kids of all ages.” - Squishable Baby "My daughter was happy to see this as she too is a little ball of energy and there aren't many English books with Asian girl characters like her! The comic book style fits well with the high energy character and Chua's illustrations are great fun. We can't wait for the next Julie Black Belt book!" - Perogies & Gyoza

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have just woken up with last night's half-eaten cheese and ham baguette stuck to my face. Pushing myself up from the sofa, I am greeted with my Gi being thrown at me. "# It's 5.45 am get up!" Hungover and with a broken big toe I will be expected to complete a six-mile beach run in fifteen minutes as part of my grading. Matt Stait author of the best-selling book Modern samurai tells of his journey from a sickly bullied kid to a multiple black belt, world champion gold silver and bronze medallist, bouncer, bodyguard, security trainer and multiple hall of fame instructor. Many years ago, I was told by one of my instructors that the road to black belt is like climbing a mountain. There are many paths that lead to the summit, and each one is different. While on the journey it is your responsibility to help others on the path. Those nearer the summit will reach back to offer support and guidance, those below will reach upwards for that help. We are not alone on this journey and we could not walk it without the help of others. We must respect everyone's individual pathway, as without them we could not grow.As the years have gone by, I have seen the truth in this. The students need each other, the instructor needs the student. The instructor needs to remain a student. It is a circle, and each time the summit appears as the clouds break, tantalizing close, yet just out of reach, we realise there is always more to learn. Each peak opens out to a new vista where more summits rise into a new horizon. There is a wonderful saying that goes.Sometimes a teacher, always a student.This is my journey.I wanted to write this book for a long time as my story is an eclectic mix of styles and systems, with many interesting characters along the way. Never a straight road which I suspect this mirrors the journey of others. Martial arts to me is a passion and hopefully will remain so for the rest of my life. I have been doing it so long it is hard for me to picture a life without it.
