Coaching for Martial Artists
This book is the result of over four years and four hundred episodes of Martial Arts Radio. Jeremy Lesniak, as host, has spoken with hundreds of martial artists the world over. Those stories, lessons, and personal experiences coalesce here, in The Martial Artist's Handbook.
Based on prominent episodes and important discussions, this book is much more than a transcript of these audio episodes. In fact, every word was rewritten. The contents are designed to make you think, to consider who you are as a person, and how martial arts training and experience contribute to the person you are.
Topics Include:
With practical advice on a variety of subjects, The Martial Artist's Handbook offers guidelines on how you might achieve your goals - in and out of training. Far from claiming authority, the author instead hopes to help you find your own authority, and use this book to that end.
This 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.
No 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.
It 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
