This is a book on shooting and tactics, but it’s not just another book on basic shooting principles, rudimentary tactics, or fundamental weapons manipulations. I explore how warriors should train and fight, as well as how they should live. We will talk about technique, but will also dive deep into fitness, mindset, and strategy. We will explore leadership and philosophy as well.

They’re going to show up. If you’ve been teaching self-defense for any length of time, chances are that you’ve already taught a survivor of violence, whether you knew it or not at the time. If you are going to teach for any length of time, meeting a survivor is a ‘when,’ not an ‘if.’ These students present a specific set of challenges, and have specific needs. If they’re handled unconsciously or inexpertly, they can be damaged more easily than most other people.

We could whine about how we live in dangerous times nowadays, but let's face it, all throughout history ordinary people have been at risk of violence in one way or another. Abdicating personal responsibility by outsourcing your safety to others might be the easy way out, but it does little to safeguard your welfare. In this book you'll discover what dangers you face and learn proven strategies to thwart them.

By the age of 24, Big Joe Egan had over 80 boxing wins and seven Irish titles and was a Golden Gloves champion. A mean body puncher with a durable chin, he went the distance with Lennox Lewis and beat future WBA champion Bruce Seldon. Encouraged by Floyd Patterson to try his luck in the USA, Joe joined "Iron" Mike Tyson’s training camp in the Catskill Mountains with the great Cus D’Amato. Joe became like a brother to Mike, who described him as the Toughest White Man on the Planet. Big Joe Egan is a gripping, entertaining, and uncompromisingly emotional account.

Behind every goal accomplished is a journey filled with confidence, success and admiration but also challenges, disappointments and moments of despair. But even when there are hardships, unseen struggles, dark times of indecision, injuries and financial problems, there are also moments of motivation, self-awareness and coping strategies to help you push through the negative to reach the positive.

I'm Mike Massie, author of Small Dojo Big Profits and over a dozen other martial arts business books and courses. I've spent years learning how to put together all the "gold nuggets" of information that I picked up from watching and listening to real martial arts business "masters", observing what they did and taking it home to test it in my own studio. Along the way, I learned what not to do through trial and error, all while developing and honing this into a complete system for maximizing martial arts school profits while keeping my overhead to respectable levels.

"Irish" Micky Ward grew up in the 1970s and ’80s as a tough kid from Lowell, Massachusetts - a town where boxers were once bred as a means of survival. A hard worker who overcame bad luck, bad management, and chronic pain in his hands, he avoided the pitfall of poverty and dead-end work that plagued Lowell to become a Golden Gloves junior welterweight.
