The no-nonsense guidebook to realizing your potential as a martial artist from wherever you are, with whatever you have, and regardless of access to training. If you want to read real life facts, as well as a little philosophy and a lot of back-to-basics common sense on the fighting arts, then this is the book for you. This isn't a book about any style, system, individual or specific principle. This is a book of the simple, yet often overlooked truths of hand-to-hand combat, how to survive, how to teach yourself or make more of a master's teachings. Whatever your position, this book can help you become a practical martial artist; a free thinking, unpredictable one, bound by no system, but understanding them all.
