Military Engineering Workshop -- Build What You Need
The wooden ox, the repeating crossbow, fire weapons, pontoon bridges. How to solve military problems with engineering. I built transport systems for mountain supply lines that kept Shu Han's armies fed in impossible terrain. Tip: The engineer wins more battles than the swordsman. The swordsman fights the battle. The engineer decides whether there will be one.
Wallachian Kilij Sword & Buckler
Curved kilij saber -- Ottoman-influenced, adopted by Wallachian cavalry. Combined with a small steel buckler for parrying. The curve is deeper than a scimitar, designed for devastating draw cuts. My cavalry carried these on raids behind Ottoman lines.
Women Warriors of India -- History & Training Seminar
From the Rani of Jhansi to the Rani Durgavati, from Kittur Chennamma to Ahilyabai Holkar. Indian women have led armies, defended kingdoms, and fought empires for centuries. This seminar covers their stories and the martial traditions they practiced. I am not the exception. I am part of a long line.
Assembly Line Simulation Workshop
Small group (max 8). Simulate a moving assembly line. First round: each person builds complete item. Second round: each person does one step. Measure the difference. Tip: The bottleneck is the slowest station. Fix that first.
Engine Rebuilding Workshop -- Gasoline Fundamentals
Disassemble and reassemble a small gasoline engine. Pistons, valves, crankshaft, carburetor, ignition. You will understand the four-stroke cycle by touching every part. I built my first engine on the kitchen table. Clara held the fuel line.
Walker System Product Kit (Replica)
Replica of the original Walker System product line: Wonderful Hair Grower, Temple Salve, Tetter Salve, and Glossine. Historical packaging and formulations adapted for modern use. A piece of entrepreneurial history you can actually use.
Television History & Electronics Workshop
How I built the first electronic TV. Electron beams, phosphor screens, scanning patterns. We will build a simple cathode ray demonstration and understand how 525 lines of light become a moving picture.
Advanced Physics Tutoring -- Quantum Theory
One-on-one. Schrodinger equation, matrix mechanics, perturbation theory, angular momentum. Prerequisite: calculus and linear algebra. Not easy. But beautiful.
Repeating Crossbow (Zhuge Nu Replica)
My improvement on the repeating crossbow -- a gravity-fed magazine holding 10 bolts, fired by pumping the lever. Less accurate than a standard crossbow but devastating in volley fire. A line of these could stop a cavalry charge. Working replica, safe bolts for target practice.
Method Acting Intensive -- Becoming the Character
Two-hour session. We don't rehearse lines -- we build a life. Where did your character grow up? What does their kitchen smell like? What song makes them cry? Once you know that, the lines say themselves. Stella Adler's approach: imagination over memory. Tip: If you're thinking about acting, you're not acting.
Scene Study Workshop -- Reacting, Not Acting
Bring a scene partner. We work two scenes in two hours. I watch, I redirect, I provoke. Most actors prepare what they're going to say. Wrong. Prepare to LISTEN. The other actor's lines should change something in you every single time.
Improvisation for Film Actors -- Finding the Moment
Film improv is not comedy improv. It's about being so deeply in character that when the script breaks, you don't. The 'I coulda been a contender' speech in On the Waterfront -- half of that was written, half was felt. Learn to blur the line.
