Book Description
A punch is far more than just a punch, a deeper look will reveal a labyrinth of concealed knowledge, an Aladdin's cave of intricacies and a treasure trove of 'data' that will enable the neophyte to punch and the expert to punch better. Hands are the most accessible, effective and natural tool available for use in self defence situations. Geoff Thompson's extensively illustrated manual takes you step by step through all the moves and techniques needed to become competent in the punching arts. These techniques can be used to complement other forms of martial arts, or used alone in close range self defence.

The Hardest Punch in the World

Book Description
The Hardest Punch in the World (formerly known as 'The Punch!) is the complete scientific break down of what a punch is. Interestingly, nobody actually knows what a punch is. This includes boxers and martial artists of all styles and disciplines. For instance: people say it is how hard you hit a person, or some such thing. The fact of the matter is that this definition is only a shadow of the real definition; it is not correct. What is even more interesting is that once people read the correct definition they immediately begin punching harder. The incorrect definition actually holds people back, it makes them train in the wrong way, so they never really achieve the hardest punch possible. In this book the author not only defines the punch, but he goes into the exact sequence of training methods that will build a punch of unimaginable power. The exact sequence of things a student has to know include the knowledge of and exact training drills for: Breaking The Fire Punch The Paper Punch The Water Punch The Sand Punch The Empty Punch The Pulsing Punch The Power Punch Less Means More If a martial artist fails to understand the physics behind these concepts, or is missing even one drill, his punch is immeasurably weakened, and he will never achieve his true 'one punch knock out' ability. Included in the book are several matrixes to help the student train, the real reason people hold themselves back, why a thousand punches might be thrown in a fight, but only one (the last 'knock out' one) is real, and more. Of most importance is the manner in which the author completely de-mystifies the concept known as 'Chi power.' About the author: Al Case began martial arts in 1967, and studied such martial arts as Kenpo, Karate, Wing Chun, Northern Shaolin Ton Toi, Southern Shaolin Fut Ga, Pa Kua Chang, and Tai Chi Chuan. He is the originator of Matrixing (the first and only science of the martial arts) and of Neutronic Martial philosophy.
Author: When Banks Punch Back: Macrofinancial Feedback Loops in Stress Tests
Author: Mr.Mario CatalanPublisher: International Monetary Fund

Pages : 65
Book Description
In the presence of adverse macroeconomic shocks, simultaneous capital losses in multiple banks can prompt them to contract their balance sheets. These bank responses generate externalities that propagate in the form of macro-financial feedback loops. This paper develops a credit response and externalities analysis model (CREAM) that integrates a disaggregated banking sector into an otherwise standard macroeconomic structural vector autoregressive model. It shows that accounting for macro-financial feedback loops can significantly affect macroeconomic outcomes and bank-specific stress tests results. The heterogeneity in bank lending responses matters: it determines how each bank fares under adverse conditions and the external effects that banks impose on each other and on economic activity. The model can thus be used to assess the contributions of individual banks to systemic risk along the time dimension.

Book Description
Punch's History of Modern England is a unique review of the English customs, traditions, education, nobility, courts, fashion, culture, and personalities entirely based on the articles from Punch, the British satirical journal. As the author mentions in the preface, "The Files of Punch have been generally admitted to be a valuable mine of information of the manners, customs and fashions f the Victorian age." This is one of the best examples of Victorian-era humor prose and gives a unique insight into the history of England outside political matters._x000D_ _x000D_
