Warrior Mind: Strategy and Philosophy from the Martial Arts

         Warrior Mind is a guide to understanding and developing the warrior’s essential mind-set.  Warrior mind has three components.  The first is inner strength—the development of unassailable integrity, clear intent, and unwavering tenacity.  The second is a thorough understanding of the principles of strategy—correct movement and balance, proper angles, proper timing, and proper entry.  The third is acquiring body intelligence- a spontaneous flow of movement in response to an attack without having to think about it.  Eventually, thought and movement become one expression.

       Warrior Mind is also a guide to a strong and proactive approach to life itself.  The principles that strengthen the warrior mind-set also empower and enrich one’s life whether or not one is involved in a martial study.   In fact, the goal of developing warrior mind is to become so internally strong that we discourage and minimize the violence around us.  Ultimately, achieving warrior mind is a spiritual journey.
