The Complete Martial Artist The Complete Martial Artist
About the Product
In martial arts there is a wide array of forms and highly specific
styles. This diversity encourages an emphasis on the differences
between the philosophies, techniques, and practices associated with
each art.
In The Complete Martial Artist, Willie “The Bam” Johnson
presents a unified, holistic approach to personal excellence—known as
Wushudo Universal Martial Arts—for all martial artists. This approach
focuses on furthering the physical, mental, and spiritual development
of anyone in any martial arts form.
Willie “The Bam” Johnson’s accomplishments have been both
record-breaking and history-making. He is a seven-time sport karate and
kung fu world champion, a two-time All-American champion, and the first
nationally ranked Triple Crown martial arts champion.
In The Complete Martial Artist, Johnson provides
- explanations on how to turn negatives into positives by applying martial arts principles to everyday life;
- an introduction to Wushudo and its 12 universal principles;
- details on how to benefit from qualities like discipline, concentration, and determination in practice and competition;
- drills to improve focus, fluidity, balance, endurance, coordination, and confidence;
- insights on how to develop the free mind, reaction time, and reflexes to outmaneuver opponents; and
- the strategies he uses—and you can use—to keep motivated.
Whereas most books concentrate exclusively on either the skills, drills, or spiritual aspects of martial arts, The Complete Martial Artist
covers the development of the whole self—physically, mentally, and
spiritually. It will show you how, no matter what your martial arts
style, you can develop all the essential components to become The Complete Martial Artist.
