A brief, but insightful look at history shows the evolution of combat, the development of the physical and psychological leverage that enables humans to kill other humans, followed by an objective examination of domestic violence in America.

The rules for living in the real world have changed, because the world we live in has changed. Much of the conventional wisdom the last generation has passed on just doesn't apply like it once did. If you want to win, and win big, and, more importantly, keep what you work so hard for, you need a crystal-clear view of how the real world works - not how you wish it worked, but how it actually works.

After Eric Davis spent over 16 years in the military, including a decade in the SEAL teams, his family was more than used to his absence on deployments and secret missions that could obscure his whereabouts for months at a time. Without a father figure in his own life since the age of 15, Eric was desperate to maintain the bonds he'd fought so hard to forge when his children were young - particularly with his son, Jason, because he knew how difficult it was to face the challenge of becoming a man on one's own.

In Sparta, they understood early on - your mind is a muscle that needs training to remain resilient and tough. That’s why their soldiers started training at the young age of seven. To fight like an indestructible soldier, first you have to believe you are an indestructible soldier. The good news is, you don’t need a time machine to start building your inner Spartan. Because the Spartan qualities of courage, resilience, and strength are already dormant within you. All you need is to know how to nudge your warrior awake.

In a fast-paced and action-packed narrative, Navy SEAL commander Rorke Denver tackles the questions that have emerged about America's past decade at war - from what makes a hero to why we fight and what it does to us. Heroes are not always the guys who jump on grenades. Sometimes, they are the snipers who decide to hold their fire, the wounded operators who find fresh ways to contribute, or the wives who keep the families together back home.

I loved the way the book was put together! I just finished it but I plan to start it over because it made me think about how martial arts and Krav principals apply to most things in life. Thanks you for putting this book out!

A Perfect Entry Into Self Defense
This a quick and fun read that covers everything one would want to know before (or after) starting their journey into self protection. If you’re looking for motivation to take a class, courage to get past the initial feeling of intimidation, or just some perspective — this book is for you.
The author, DJ Stephens, is an expert in self protection, martial arts, and has a unique story to tell that explains why he has dedicated his life to serving others. He is the real deal. Dj breaks down his journey and uses his past experience to frame his views on self protection. This approach is insightful and genuine.
The book does not cover self defense techniques, but rather answers common questions and provides key context for practitioners that will resonate with everyone, regardless of their experience level. This book is a nice tool that will help bolster your mindset and the mental aspects to self protection.

Great perspective!
The author shares his past training experience and knowledge in different martial arts along with the pluses and deltas of each.
I wish this book had been available years ago before I started my own martial arts journey. I would have followed a different path.
DJ gives valuable insight into the mindset of how and very important why we should train. A must read for anyone interested in starting any martial arts training.

A Must Read or Listen
I have been fortunate enough to not only read and listen to DJ's book, but also have him as a mentor during my own path to being a better self-protection instructor. Everything put in this book is how DJ truly is while instructing both students and instructors. This book has answered many of my own questions I have while both teaching and training.
I would highly recommend this book to those thinking of beginning their journey of self-protection training, those preparing for a promotional test in their respective martial art, and most importantly those who are contemplating "why" they should continue training.

What a great listen !
DJ is a man who practices what he preaches - walks the walk.
This book is not only entertaining but great food for thought on taking up some Martial Arts. I like that DJ’s view is holistic and makes a great case for martial arts being about mind , body and spirit and how in life we are best if prepared for the unknowable .
