I just finished Josh's book....I truly feel that his ideas, and learning techniches are way ahead of our time. The complexities in which he uses to train, and deal with adversary are truly remarkable....and in my

mind will become a bible for athletes, or anyone for that matter, with the desire to become a master at what they do.

This book has opened a whole new dimension to learning how to become the best ,and how to

turn your weaknesses into strengths!

I will read the book later.. I think you just got to practice and train for what you feel that's truly passionate for. Like me, I love video game and unbeknown to myself, I actually did many things and shock myself that I'm actually good at it. Anyway I don't practice throw very much because I do ground games mostly. Anyone can be a genius, it is how you want to take that passion to the next level. And thanks to many girls in the past, some of things I am interested in I had proficent level.

I've seen your Chess Master academy training materials. You showed me the art side of the chess. We are waiting for you advanced chess books and chess training videos.

I believe that a person like you who is willing to share his experiences with others must have a great personality. Thank you and may god save you...

Josh's book is outstanding. It illustraes that self-mastery is a process adopted to each persons learning style.

I know I will be seeing you in the mundial de jiu jitsu, I have been hoping and praying for a chess master of your calibre to enter the jiu jitsu arena, the fact that you are a also Tai Chi master is just an added bonus.
