Martial Arts Adventure

Someone once asked: What is stronger? Martial arts or Magic? I answered: Why not simply use both? In a new world brimming with possibilities—Levels, Classes, Skills, Dungeons, and Monsters—I found myself reborn as a noble family’s troublemaker son. As a gamer, a magical world and a lazy life as a rich noble's son should have been a dream come true. But there was a massive catch. An absurd quest threw everything into chaos.

His secret is out. The Vatariri's deadliest enforcer just locked down the academy to find him. Laku pulled his grandfather out of Vatariri custody, but Senai came back broken. He can't fight, can't train, and the knowledge that could heal him is locked behind wards only Headmaster Nakai can open. Nakai is imprisoned in her own office, being interrogated by a battle-mage who terrifies even Senai. If she breaks, she'll give up the Forgotten Library's location, and everyone hiding inside it dies. Ona, his hellhound shadow-scout, can slip unseen through the tunnels beneath campus.

He's the only one without magic at a school for mages. That just makes him the most dangerous student. Laku arrives at the prestigious Dzidzo Institute with a deadly secret: he's a Zero, completely unable to use magic. Armed only with Awakening, an ancient martial art, he must find his missing grandfather while hiding the truth that could get him killed.

The six-month penalty has ended, and my life at the Academy began. It is now time to establish my Demonic Sect, recruit members, and make a name for myself. At least, that is how it should have been. Hostile upperclassmen, mysterious professors, stuck-up nobles, and a demonic invasion that I know will hit the academy, all loom over me. As do the vampire, werewolf, and phoenix girls around me.

Ninja-in-training Mark Vardy is returning to the Academy - but this time, there's more afoot than mastering martial arts. In Mark Vardy and the School of Ninjas, our 12-year-old hero earned his place at the Academy - an elite martial arts institution in England's beautiful New Forest that hones the skills and spirit of a new generation of heroes. As his first year of study begins, he returns alongside new faces and finds himself presented with dangerous new challenges.

Left for dead in the merciless Saharan desert, my only path forward leads straight into Aethelgard, the floating realm of the Gold Dragons. My guide? A lost Leviathan Princess, the sworn enemy of the very dragons we seek. The key to enter their glorious dimension? Winning a brutal tournament. But they don't understand. I'm not here for glory. I'm here to take her back. The Gold Dragon Princess, my ex-professor, and I will do anything to succeed. Even if it means burning the world down or standing before her father, the Demi-God Sahrazzakhan.

Laku's tournament triumph has everyone at Dzidzo Institute watching him. While dodging accusations, outrunning deadly rumors, and keeping up with school work, he also needs to decode his grandfather secrets before anyone can expose him as a Zero.

The ashes of the Winter Festival settled, but peace was a luxury I couldn't afford. The threats were escalating, and staying put meant stagnation. If I wanted to face what was coming, I had to get stronger, even if it meant leaving Waybound's walls behind.

A comprehensive guide on many different aspects of martial arts pedagogy. Topics include: teaching children with learning disabilities, anatomy and common injuries, leadership skills, and hundreds of specific drills.

A book of martial arts action and adventure as well as a story that instills values of appreciation, mastery, and discipline, this is an adventure for anyone who loves to see what a real ninja kid can do when he is forced to use his skills for the good of others.

My childhood had been cool enough. Horses and four-wheelers to ride, farmland to explore, good friends. The one blemish: a school bus bully. A year older and always bigger, this guy we'll call "Larry" started picking on me around kindergarten - flipping my ear, frogging my leg, reminding me how much of a wimp I was - and I let him get away with it. With literally hundreds of chances (every miserable ride to and from school), I never fought back. And while I’d done a stint in the military, earned a fancy degree, and started a family, I was always haunted by the lingering shame.
