Paladin Podcast Episode #4: Ted Murray on Football Betting!

To kick off the 2008 football season, The Paladin Podcast proudly presents a rollicking interview with Ted Murray, author of the new Paladin Press title, The Inside Scoop on Football Betting.

Ted is a veteran analyst of the sports gambling industry who has worked as a football handicapper. Raised in a sports-minded family, Murray came to the realization the summer before his sophomore year in high school that his limited athletic abilities were only going to take him so far and that the only way to feed his great passion for athletics was through gambling. Betting on football not only kept him interested but allowed him to continue to be an “active participant” in the games. He has continued his football-betting studies for nearly 30 years.

Unconventional Wisdom

There’s an old saying that you can’t avoid death and taxes. Right up there with those two unavoidable horrors is the four-year circus known as the United States presidential campaign. Each candidate’s every move is captured by multiple news networks 24/7 creating an orgy of non-news. First the candidate is shown rolling up his sleeves and shaking hands with a construction worker; then each network brings on a pseudojournalist pundit to analyze the handshake and put it into global perspective; then . . . well, you know the drill. And we have two more unbearable months of this?

If you’re asking yourself how you’ll possibly keep your sanity in the face of this overwhelming onslaught of sound bites, there is a light at the end of the election tunnel. Claire Wolfe’s Think Free to Live Free: A Political Burnout’s Guide to Life, Activism, and Everything is a breath of fresh air. Reading this workbook will help you regain your enthusiasm for the political process and energize your quest for a contented and purposeful life.

Women's Street Combat Video Clip on Paladin YouTube Channel!

Here's a sneak peek at an upcoming video from Kimber Johnson titled Women's Street Combat: Predator Defense and Rape Prevention.

The author, Kimber Johnson, knows from painful personal experience what it's like to be assaulted, and teaches you how to overcome a determined sexual predator in this video. It's full of hard-core, real-world self-defense techniques that are specifically designed to target your attacker's weak spots: don't try to get into a strength vs. strength contest with an attacker, go all-out and put him on the defense. No fancy throws, locks, or complicated techniques here, just down and dirty street fighting from someone who knows what works and what won't.

21st Century Knife Combat Clip on Paladin YouTube Channel!

We've posted a sneak peek at the first volume of the upcoming video series 21st Century Knife Combat on the Paladin Press YouTube Channel!

This three-volume series by master martial artist Kelly S. Worden represents the pinnacle of responsible, effective knife defense, and teaches you realistic blade combat for real-world situations. Rather than focusing on a single, robotic drill like sumbrada, this video series goes beyond that, giving you the total picture from a true warrior.

The first volume, Unarmed Against the Blade, shows you what you need to do when you're facing a knife-wielding attacker with just your fists. Available soon from the Paladin Action Library!
