The gender gap reaches beyond the workplace: it also impacts medical diagnoses! While 13% of boys are diagnosed with ADHD, only 4.2% of girls are, and it’s not because girls don’t have it: it’s because we are misdiagnosed! To make matters worse, the older we get, the harder it is for medical professionals to diagnose and treat us properly. Often the only time a medical professional will notice it is if we have children who are diagnosed. By then, you’re used to living in the chaos of your home and brain!

Story
The Shaolin Monastery charts for the first time in any language the history of the Shaolin Temple and the evolution of its world-renowned martial arts. In this meticulously researched and eminently readable study Meir Shahar considers the economic political and religious factors that led Shaolin monks to disregard the Buddhist prohibition against violence and instead create fighting techniques that by the 21st century have spread throughout the world.

Story
On the Warrior’s Path connects the martial arts with this larger perspective, merging subtle philosophies with no-holds-barred competition, Nietzsche with Bruce Lee, radical Taoism and Buddhism with the Star Wars Trilogy, traditional martial arts with basketball and American Indian culture. At the center of all these phenomena is the warrior. Though this archetype seems to manifest contradictory values, author Daniele Bolelli describes the heart of this tension: how the training of martial technique leads to a renunciation of violence, and how overcoming fear leads to a unique freedom.

Story
Famous three-time Grand Slam winner Arthur Ashe pointed out that many in sports fall victim to “paralysis by analysis”. Athletes on any level can experience the pain of overthinking and sabotaging their performance. Blame many traditional methods of teaching and training. How can we train smarter, not harder? If only our body and mind could perform in a way that’s more natural and instinctive. The best athletes have this quality, but many feel it is simply unattainable for them. I assure you it is not.

Story
In the Chinese calendar, 1964 was the Year of the Green Dragon. It would be a challenging and eventful year for Bruce Lee. He would broadcast his dissenting view before the first great international martial arts gathering and then defend it by facing down Chinatown's young ace kung fu practitioner in a legendary behind-closed-doors, high-noon-style showdown. The Year of the Green Dragon saw the dawn of martial arts in America and the rise of an icon.

Story
Every age and social strata has its bad eggs, rule-breakers, and nose-thumbers. As acclaimed popular historian and author of How to Be a Victorian Ruth Goodman reveals in her madcap chronicle, Elizabethan England was particularly rank with troublemakers, from snooty needlers who took aim with a cutting "thee" to lowbrow drunkards with revolting table manners. Goodman draws on advice manuals, court cases, and sermons to offer this colorfully crude portrait of offenses most foul.

Beneficial for any martial arts enthusiast
As an avid Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner, I was able to truly appreciate this audiobook. The chapter I got the most out of was the chapter covering Attacks From Multiple Assailants where I learned not only how to defend myself from more than one attacker, I also learned how to effectively attack them. To master this technique, as I learned for this audiobook, you will have to diligently practice three-man drills and even semi free sparring. Regardless of your martial arts discipline, this audiobook will teach you a great deal about Karate.

Learned a lot!
This book starts with a history of karate, which I found very interesting. I think it's really cool that it started out as an ancient war fighting style. With the invention of modern weapons, that style of fighting was no longer needed, but I love that it's still practiced as a way to remember and pay homage to Japanese heritage. And it's also good for building children's strength and confidence.

Great resource
My daughter has shown an interest in martial arts lately, so i got this books to learn my self about a few basic moves.
I'd like to teach her a few things and see if she's really going to enjoy professional lessons.
We listened together and have begun working on stance.
I noticed you are provided with the skills and what you need to practice to master each technique and i appreciate that.
