In addition to the questions I have answered, there are also numerous articles I have written over the years and placed on my website. I have re-written these articles and placed them in this book. Here are a few examples:• What Makes a Good Martial Arts Instructor?• From White to Black Belt• Now That You’re Older, How Does It Feel To Spar With…?• 3 Most Important Mindsets for Over 40 PractitionersSome of these articles are seven to eight pages long, so there is a lot of really good content in them!Additionally, my book shares several interesting stories with you, such as:• Jumped from Behind by Two Students • The Ultimate Style, Part One• Someone Pulled a Knife on Me• Seminar Hosts: A Gamut of ExperiencesWhile there is a lot more I could write about my book, I am limited by the amount I can share here!Thank you for taking the time to look at the overview of my book! I hope you will enjoy its contents. I know you will learn a lot (and I do mean A LOT) of important training methods from my book because I poured my heart and soul into writing it.Roy Harris

All along the Mediterranean coast, the Roman empire’s richest citizens are relaxing in their luxurious villas, enjoying the last days of summer. The world’s largest navy lies peacefully at anchor in Misenum. The tourists are spending their money in the seaside resorts of Baiae, Herculaneum, and Pompeii.But the carefree lifestyle and gorgeous weather belie an impending cataclysm, and only one man is worried. The young engineer Marcus Attilius Primus has just taken charge of the Aqua Augusta, the enormous aqueduct that brings fresh water to a quarter of a million people in nine towns around the Bay of Naples. His predecessor has disappeared. Springs are failing for the first time in generations. And now there is a crisis on the Augusta’s sixty-mile main line—somewhere to the north of Pompeii, on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius.Attilius—decent, practical, and incorruptible—promises Pliny, the famous scholar who commands the navy, that he can repair the aqueduct before the reservoir runs dry. His plan is to travel to Pompeii and put together an expedition, then head out to the place where he believes the fault lies. But Pompeii proves to be a corrupt and violent town, and Attilius soon discovers that there are powerful forces at work—both natural and man-made—threatening to destroy him.With his trademark elegance and intelligence, Robert Harris, bestselling author of Archangel and Fatherland, re-creates a world on the brink of disaster.From the Hardcover edition.
