Fall, Stand, and Repeat: My Martial Arts Journey

This book will not teach you how to fight physically, but mentally–how martial arts training can give you a powerful, mental edge and a strong mindset. It's a book about how martial arts helped me on my personal journey–how martial arts helped me realize the power of respect, discipline, and honor. It will show the importance of controlling your focus and not letting anger, frustration, or fear destroy you. This is a simple story of an ordinary man who deeply has enjoyed growing and training in the martial arts and how the martial arts training has been a beautiful distraction from the negative drama that life throws at times. In over 20 years, I've learned many valuable skills and life lessons. One of the most impactful skills I learned in all my martial arts training is the application of a simple formula: Fall, Stand, Repeat. If you can learn to habitually climb your way back up from the inevitable falls–both on the mat, and in the dojo of life–you will achieve and exceed your goals.
