The Way is in Training.

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 plan on exploring 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. So, whether you are a young soldier, a veteran police officer, a responsible armed citizen, or simply someone looking for an authentic life, let’s examine how the lessons of combat and preparation for it can help us fulfill our potential. Let’s explore the way together, and learn how the discipline of training can show us our true selves amidst the chaos of life.
