30 Years, 80 Coaches. Fighters, Hools, Sensei and Lessons (Not) Learned

This book is about fighting, learning and studying people. It’s sports psychology applied. It's about personal growth through sports, based on my training in different striking and grappling disciplines for 30 years. Some say you can learn more life lessons from martial arts than from documentaries and journalists’ reports. It’s for people looking in martial arts for something more than the primitive pounding, who feel that they should be about something other than “ripping the opponent's head off”. This book should serve as a shortcut for not wasting your time and health on some people. Instead, I hope you will take care of sensible self-improvement, both physically and mentally – for yourself and for others. It's about mindfulness plus willpower. I don’t like to fight. But I dislike aggressors and abusers even more. I’ve been doing it all these years cause I wanted to learn all dimensions of combat and self-defense. I haven’t become enlightened thanks to this, and I still can’t levitate. And I don’t think just fighting people makes you much wiser. It is about mindfulness plus willpower. It is up to us to educate ourselves. Duration - 4h 58m. Author - Bart Martin. Narrator - Doug Reeves. Published Date - Tuesday, 17 January 2023. Copyright - © 2023 Bart Martin ©.
