Showing results for "Me" in Martial Arts

Dan Hardy's first book is much more than a straightforward MMA autobiography. Taking the key fights from his career, Hardy explores the sport with the unparalleled insight that has made him the best analyst working today, from training in China with Shaolin monks to how MMA helped him channel his rage, to psychedelics and the ceremony in Peru that changed his life, to tapping in to his 'reptilian brain' and the psychological warfare of UFC, to his epic title fight with Georges St-Pierre.

Martial arts are not about individuals. They are about systems. Martial art schools are businesses. Martial arts are something else. That is why we call them arts or sciences, and not crafts. The thrust of this work is to use my more than four decades of experience in martial arts, along with some cultural icons, to provide some perceptions on the condition of the arts in the world today. Not a "how to", but how and why we are where we are.
