Far from claiming authority, the author instead hopes to help you find your own authority, and use this book to that end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was not written for any one person, or any one martial art. Topics included transcend specific styles and are focused on the bigger concepts and questions that impact martial artists from karate, kung fu, taekwondo, bjj, jiujitsu, tangsoodo, tai chi, silat, escrima and every other martial arts style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo matter where you are, how long you've been training, your goals or your art, this book will help you. Parts of this book cover specific topics, including self-defense, forms (kata), sparring and basics. Other parts are contemplative, meant to invite conversations on philosophy and personal growth. This is not a self-help book, though you may find it helpful in that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt is my sincere hope that you will give this book a chance. It is the result of years of experience, both inside and outside of training. It is also based largely on advice and knowledge from many prominent martial artists who appeared on our show. Thank you for considering this purchase, and have a great day. jeremy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45533328539799,"sku":"9781670810700","price":1445.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781670810700.webp?v=1767898535","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-martial-artists-handbook-9781670810700","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
