Overcome any obstacle life throws at you by thinking, and reacting
like a world-class martial artist--without ever setting foot on the
mat.
Jiu-jitsu is more than a martial art; it is a lifestyle that promotes
health, confidence, self-determination, and being in balance with the
world. Now, for the first time, the most important and life-enhancing
principles of jiu-jitsu can be applied to every aspect of life.
In The 32 Principles, famed jiu-jitsu instructor Rener Gracie, who has
coached more than 350,000 students in 196 countries, presents the core
teachings of jiu-jitsu and explains how they can apply to all of our
daily lives, including:
-
The Pyramid Principle and the importance of investing in a strong
foundation
-
The Acceptance Principle and recognizing when it's better to yield
than to resist
-
The Pivot Principle and the value of changing your perspective to
increase your effectiveness
-
The Redirection Principle and using unfavorable circumstances to
create favorable outcomes
Intended for both longtime fans and practitioners of the martial arts,
as well as those completely unfamiliar with jiu-jitsu--and 32 companion
videos of each principle's physical application for self defense from
Rener himself--will help you gain balance and control over yourself,
home, work, family, and personal and professional relationships. Along
with multi-award-winning author Paul Volponi, this book features
contributions from more than 40 champion athletes, top flight coaches,
and others who have benefited from these principles in real life. .
Every obstacle is a technique waiting to be discovered. Learn how to
live life through the lens of a martial arts master, and no challenge
will knock you down for long.
