About this listen

From the best-selling authors of The Way of Kata, The Little Black Book of Violence, and Musashi's Dokkodo...your immutable path to victory!

All 10 precepts in this concise audiobook cut to the heart of ending physical confrontations as quickly as possible with empty-hand techniques. Our definition of "ending" is to make the attack stop. There is no running after the now-fleeing assailant to catch and strike him down. There is no lesson, no teaching, no therapy, no epiphany. There is only making that bad guy stop what he is doing instantly so that you and those you care about will be safe.

The strategy of karate is based on principle, what practitioners do to prepare for contact with an adversary, while tactics are what we do during the heat of battle. Practicing a martial art from tactics upward to principles creates a house of cards that will collapse from a gentle breeze, whereas working downward from principles into tactics builds a formidable foundation that can weather near any storm.

These 10 principles are style-agnostic and all about ending fights immediately. They define how to best apply your skills and training in the real world. Those who work with these principles will find swiftness, clarity, and victory in so doing.

Intriguing

I agree with the guy who wrote the forward. This book is very interesting, but you take what you want from it. It has some great principles and explains possible tactics stemming from those foundations. Not every application will look the same. However, the principles are foundational and can be applied to most situations. Bonus... it is read by the coauthor. He knows what he is doing. The sound quality is great. I highly recommend this audiobook to martial artists who want to learn to move from practice to practical, regardless of rank and style. Enjoy and stay safe out there!
