Tachi & Tanto Sword Set (Edo Period Style)
Long tachi sword (blade-down mounting, cavalry style) and tanto short blade. The tachi predates the katana -- designed for mounted combat with a longer, more curved blade. The tanto is the samurai's constant companion, used for everything from combat to seppuku. Proper handling instruction included.
Total Gym XLS (The Machine That Actually Works)
The same Total Gym model I use personally. Over 80 exercises on one machine using your own body weight. Incline bench, cable pulls, squats, core work. I'm not just the spokesman -- I've used this thing every day for 30 years.
Heavy Bag (100lb Leather) + Speed Bag Station
Professional-grade heavy bag and speed bag mounted on a steel frame. The heavy bag teaches power. The speed bag teaches timing. Use both. I hit these every morning before sunrise and have since 1962.
The Art of Patience -- Strategic Waiting Workshop
How to win by waiting. When to act and when to hold. Reading the political landscape, building position without exposing yourself, striking at the decisive moment. Nobunaga seized the rice cake, Hideyoshi cooked it, I ate it. Tip: If you cannot wait, you cannot win. The patient warrior outlasts the bold one.
Japanese Castle Design Seminar -- Defensive Architecture
Concentric baileys, stone walls, murder holes, and the famous curved walls that prevent climbing and deflect cannonballs. Edo Castle was my masterwork. This seminar covers Japanese castle design from the Sengoku period through the Edo period. Tip: A castle should make the attacker solve ten problems to reach you. Each problem costs him men.
Tang Soo Do Fundamentals -- From White to Green Belt
Traditional Korean martial arts training. We start with basic stances, blocks, and kicks. No flashy nonsense -- just solid technique that works. I'll teach the same forms I learned at Osan Air Base in 1958. Tip: Your roundhouse kick should come from the hip, not the knee. Most beginners kick with their leg. Champions kick with their whole body.
Classic Screenplay Collection (Bound Scripts)
Bound shooting scripts of Chinatown, Annie Hall, Thelma & Louise, American Beauty, and The Shawshank Redemption. These are the scripts I used in my workshops for decades. Read them with a highlighter. Study how they handle plot points. Tip: Read scripts, not books about scripts.
Mounted Combat Training -- Fight From the Horse
Bareback mounted combat with lance, bow, and war club. The Lakota fought from horseback as naturally as walking. Hanging off the side of the horse as a shield, shooting under the neck, the full-speed charge. Tip: Your war paint is your identity. I painted a lightning bolt on my face and hail spots on my body. The enemy should know who is coming for them.
Character Development Workshop -- Who Is Your Hero?
A screenplay is only as good as its main character. In this workshop we build characters from the inside out: dramatic need, point of view, attitude, change. I'll make you answer four questions about your protagonist that will unlock your entire story.
Screenplay by Syd Field (Annotated Copy)
My personal annotated copy of Screenplay -- the book that's been called the bible of screenwriting. Margin notes from 30 years of teaching. Dog-eared pages. Coffee stains from late nights at Musso & Frank. Read it, return it, write your script.
Lakota War Lance & Coup Stick
10-foot war lance with iron point and eagle feather decorations, plus a coup stick. Counting coup -- touching an enemy in battle without killing him -- was the highest act of bravery. Killing was easy. Touching was courage. I counted coup many times before I started fighting for survival.
Plains War Shield (Buffalo Hide, Painted)
Thick buffalo hide shield, heat-shrunk and painted with personal medicine symbols. At proper thickness, buffalo hide stops arrows and can deflect a musket ball at distance. The painting is not decoration -- it is protection medicine. This is a training replica. Respect the tradition.
