Story
The reality is this, all real fights are armed fights whether you agree with it or not. When a fight is about life and limb weapons will come into play. Whether you carry one, improvise one or refuse to use one you can bet the other guy will. Given this knowing how weapons work and better still how to use them yourself is absolutely essential to effective self-defense. Forget sport combat. It can do a lot of things for you but prepare you for an armed fight it will not.

Story
On the night in 1964 that Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) stepped into the ring with Sonny Liston, he was widely regarded as an irritating freak who danced and talked way too much. Six rounds later Ali was not only the new world heavyweight boxing champion: He was "a new kind of black man" who would shortly transform America's racial politics, its popular culture, and its notions of heroism. No one has captured Ali—and the era that he exhilarated and sometimes infuriated—with greater vibrancy, drama, and astuteness than David Remnick.
