A sports agent. In its simplest form, a sports agent is an individual or company who represents a sportsperson. They try to get them a better contract, a better endorsement, a better sponsorship, a better deal. Nothing wrong with that, is there? Or is there? The problem, inevitably, is money. So much money now sloshing around in professional sport today. And human greed ? which can lead to conflicts of interest...So How to be a Sports Agent is a practical and down-to-earth book that reveals the secrets behind the art of being not just a good sports agent, but a good, honest sports agent.

The difference between a good agent and a bad agent. Creation of playing contracts, particularly in regard to soccer, cricket and rugby and covers the most common pitfalls. Marketing, merchandising, licensing and sponsorship deals. How to negotiate them and how to draft them. The art of negotiation, and the balance between on and off pitch activities. The role of the lawyer as agent and adviser. Keeping the clients happy, getting new clients and keeping the clients happy when you have new clients.

The majority of attacks/fights last less than three seconds and are preceded by aggressive or disarming behaviour. This book trains you to read the body language and ritual of attack and 'stop' your attacker in his tracks by using a physical and psychological 'fence' or a cripple-shooting attack. The book also covers 'ambush attacks' and 'match fighting'.

Bushi-Jutsu ? The Science of the Warrior attempts to bridge the gap between the kata of old Okinawa, following the influence of the feudal Japanese militia and that which is taught in today?s dojo as ?effective? self-defence. The distressing reality, for most kata bunkai students, is that there is very little ?real? application in the world today, outside Japan. That which is taught as ?bunkai? tends to be Monkey See ? Monkey Do ? very few really understand the highly technical and effective nature of this ?secret? part of karate. This book by Andy Paskin and Darren Westwood doesn?t just uncover the brutal nature of karate kata application ? it literally rips the shroud of secrecy from around it and cleaves the mystery from it. The book takes a pragmatic, sometimes controversial and always brutally honest look at modern karate as it is and as it was meant to be.
