Jesse Standard, PhD, the premier expert on Asian martial arts, is called by his best friend, movie star and founder of Te Waza Karate, Tiger Radelle for assistance with his latest project--the launch of an all martial arts network initiated by a high stakes tournament.

Te Waza or Hand Techniques system was only the start for Radelle. The one time karate circuit star and California surfer is a hugely successful entrepreneur with a taste for the good life and making the million dollar deals. Standard, a former international judo champion, is plunged into a world far removed from his normal academic circles and discovers a deadly mix of esoteric martial arts and big business; a place where nothing is quite what it seems and where everyone has an agenda--some of which prove fatal. Te Waza is a fast paced mystery that takes you from tournament action to terrorist activities and back again. A place where the action is not restricted to the ring and as the intrigues start to reach their deadly conclusions, Jesse Standard must use both his physical and mental martial arts training to attempt to stop a killer before more than a tournament is destroyed.
