 Season's greetings everyone! Hopefully you're all having a great holiday season. I just wanted to do a quick video as a shout out to one of our viewers. This weekend I received two martial arts books, The Martial Arts Teacher and Research of the Martial Arts both by author Jonathan Bluestine. There was no note or message included so unfortunately I don't know who sent these but I wanted to extend my thank you and appreciation for them if you are watching. These books have a ton of information in them and take a bit of a different look on Martial Arts. In my Art of Kempo, we have the symbolism of the Tiger and the Dragon. Two halves of the Martial Arts. The Tiger is the Earthly strength, physical prowess and raw energy. The Dragon is the wisdom, the higher understanding and superior mental strength. Both are essential to a well-balanced mindset and training. These books take a great look at the Dragon. The Research of Martial Arts takes a deep look at the emotional, psychological and philosophical sides of the art. There is a lot of material here at the Digest interviews and fantastic insight by Shifu Bluestine. The Martial Arts Teacher offers a lot of unique insight into teaching Martial Arts, how to enjoy passing on the knowledge and how to construct meaningful lessons for your students. Both books will apply to any martial art regardless of style or country of origin. I highly recommend checking these out and I'm including a link in the description below. And for any of you who may still be doing any last minute holiday shopping, I'm including a set of links of all the training tools we've mentioned in previous videos as well as a few products that we'll be looking at in some future videos. For example, check out the Taser knife. Again, thank you so much to whoever sent these books. I look forward to reading them in their entirety. Happy holidays everyone!
