Stranded on an island in Southeast Asia after Super Typhoon Haiyan strikes, I was taken in by the most improbable of islanders in a place called Dragon Town, where good people often have to do bad things just to survive.

This visceral exposé bares its fangs at the dynamics of wealth, power, and the dangers of unchecked greed so prevalent in Asia – and throughout the world – and the poverty of hopelessness that is the hardest of all to overcome.

Read The Queens of Dragon Town.

​When Judd Reid attempted the 100-man kumite in 2010, fighting 100 karate black belts in a row, it was something only a handful of martial artists in the world had achieved before him. To complete this 100-man fight, Reid would have to draw on the ironclad toughness and perseverance he’d forged from a lifetime of training.
 
At only 17-years old, Judd got the opportunity to chase his dream when he was invited to Japan by the legendary Sosai Mas Oyama in the elite Young Lions program. For 1,000 days, Reid endured with the most vigorous training in the world among the most Spartan conditions, but found the discipline and dedication to become the first foreigner ever to graduate as a Young Lion.
 
Along the way, Sosai Oyama became a father figure to Reid, teaching him everything he knew about martial arts but also how to live a pure and honorable life.
