To be honest, it's blood, sweat and tears. The # of hrs you end up spending staring at a computer screen can be scary. But at the end of it all, it's worth it. Best of luck with it. Let us know when you get it done.

It's about philosophy and martial arts. Several of the chapters apply to martial arts in general, but a couple specifically discuss MMA. If anyone ends up reading it, pm me with feedback. I appreciate any constructive criticisms.
Thanks

thats pretty cool

This chapter discusses how both sides are missing something, and on the need to take the best from both. The second chapter is the thing I've written I'm most proud of. It's somewhat of a more personal piece about the main reasons that push me to train day in and day out. It sports the unlikely title of "On Failed Friendships, Martial Arts, Nietzsche, and Self-Perfection".

Thanks. Who do you write for? Is what you wrote under your location a quote from the movie Princess Bride?
Thanks again.

Lots of college students use my articles in papers because most of that stuff was written in 1970 and it allows them to put a more interesting spin on their work and have a reliable source to back it up.
