Iklwa Stabbing Spear & Isihlangu Shield Set
The iklwa -- named for the sucking sound it makes when pulled from a body. Short-hafted, broad-bladed, designed for close combat behind the cowhide isihlangu shield. The shield hooks the enemy's shield aside, the iklwa goes in underneath. I changed warfare in Africa with this weapon.

Board Breaking Kit (Pine + Rebreakable Plastic)
Stack of 1-inch pine boards plus rebreakable plastic boards in 5 difficulty levels. Tip: Breaking boards is not about strength. It's about focus, follow-through, and believing your hand goes THROUGH the board, not TO it.
Dream Journal Workshop -- Sketching the Unconscious
I drew my dreams every morning for forty years. Thousands of sketches that became La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2, Amarcord, Juliet of the Spirits. I teach you to keep a visual dream journal -- not writing, DRAWING. Your pen remembers what your brain forgets. Bring colored pencils and a blank notebook.
Total Gym XLS (The Machine That Actually Works)
The same Total Gym model I use personally. Over 80 exercises on one machine using your own body weight. Incline bench, cable pulls, squats, core work. I'm not just the spokesman -- I've used this thing every day for 30 years.

Professional-grade heavy bag and speed bag mounted on a steel frame. The heavy bag teaches power. The speed bag teaches timing. Use both. I hit these every morning before sunrise and have since 1962.
Calligraphy & Lettering Set (Bengali + Roman Scripts)
Professional calligraphy kit with nibs, inks, and practice sheets for both Bengali and Roman scripts. I designed the Ray Roman typeface -- typography was as important to me as cinematography. This kit includes my template sheets for poster lettering.
Sketchbook & Colored Pencil Set (Fellini's Dream Kit)
Large-format sketchbook (A3) and 72 professional colored pencils -- the same tools I used for my dream journals. The sketchbook has thick paper that handles ink and pencil. Keep it by your bed. Draw before coffee. The dreams are freshest in the first five minutes.
Tang Soo Do Fundamentals -- From White to Green Belt
Traditional Korean martial arts training. We start with basic stances, blocks, and kicks. No flashy nonsense -- just solid technique that works. I'll teach the same forms I learned at Osan Air Base in 1958. Tip: Your roundhouse kick should come from the hip, not the knee. Most beginners kick with their leg. Champions kick with their whole body.
Classic Screenplay Collection (Bound Scripts)
Bound shooting scripts of Chinatown, Annie Hall, Thelma & Louise, American Beauty, and The Shawshank Redemption. These are the scripts I used in my workshops for decades. Read them with a highlighter. Study how they handle plot points. Tip: Read scripts, not books about scripts.
Vintage Qipao Collection (1920s-1940s Silk Dresses)
Five hand-tailored silk qipao dresses in the styles I wore on screen and in life. Each one is a work of art -- embroidered, fitted, and designed to make a statement. I was the most photographed Asian woman in the world. These dresses are why. Borrow for shoots, exhibitions, or costume reference.
Screenplay by Syd Field (Annotated Copy)
My personal annotated copy of Screenplay -- the book that's been called the bible of screenwriting. Margin notes from 30 years of teaching. Dog-eared pages. Coffee stains from late nights at Musso & Frank. Read it, return it, write your script.
