Rediscover yourself through playful exercise: "Primal, Practical and Playful"
The first book is on our must read list for students of the martial arts. The lessons apply to all styles. The second offers rare insight to a number of classical Japanese warrior traditions.
Each book cuts through the mythology and romanticized image of the Japanese warrior and their way of life. Highly recommended to those interested in Japanese martial cutlure.
Awareness is the #1 tool you possess. This book will help you hone that tool. Trust your intuition, recognize real dangers, use 'fear' to empower. A great gift for those you love!
The physiology and psychology of how humans deal with crisis is interspersed with true stories of disaster and survival. Highly recommended for outdoor enthusiasts and those in high-risk professions.
The value of Lt. Col. Grossman's work cannot be overstated.
