Lessons Learned Along the Way

Lessons Learned Along the Way is a philosophical look at martial arts. This is not an analysis of Zen, Tao or any strictly eastern approach to martial arts thinking. We are taking new look at and redefining the term martial arts. We believe that Lessons Learned Along the Way will challenge the thinking of the experienced practitioner as well as provide guidance to the beginner and the uninitiated.
We think what sets Lessons Learned Along the Way apart from other works on martial arts is that our observations and conclusions are intended to be both controversial and uniting. Some will argue adamantly against our point of view while others will discover new insights and purpose to their training. As long as thought has been incited and discussions started then this book will have served its purpose.
To teach is to challenge.
Lessons Learned Along the Way is available from the West Side Center for Community and Self Development for $12 plus $2.00 postage or from Amazon.com. All profits from the sale of the book go directly to WCCSD.
