Reviews for The Way to Black Belt: A Comprehensive Guide to Rapid, Rock-Solid Results

While this book targets students who are studying to achieve their black belt, it at the same time illuminates a path far beyond this limited goal.Reading this book will help anyone for whom the goal of a black belt seems nearly impossible to consider that maybe you re wrong. Not only do I feel inspired, but I now have a ton of great ideas and advice on how to make the most of my training along the way. --Christopher Caile, 6th dan black belt, Editor of FightingArts.com
