Chapter One
So You Want to Be a Warrior?
Welcome to the path of the warrior. This book is your guide to growing both physically and mentally into a warrior. What is a warrior? One definition is someone who engages in or desires combat, but I believe history's greatest warriors show us that being a warrior is more about gaining control over oneself in all aspects of life.
There have been many famous cultures of the past that glorified the warrior. The Spartans, the Romans, the Persians, the Knights Templar, the Mongols, the Vikings, and the Samurai were societies that were famous for the development of their warriors. The legends of those warriors have been passed down because of the impact they made on the consciousness of the world.
The warrior tradition is still alive today. Since every generation has its warriors, we may have just lost sight of how to recognize one. A new breed of warrior has, in fact, exploded onto the landscape of the world through the vehicle of mixed martial arts. These men and women will be the role models that future generations will use as a gauge of their own warrior status. There is nothing more primal and intriguing than watching two men battle it out in a ring or cage to decide one winner and one loser. Even though this new warrior may not be battling in a life-or-death situation, the chief attributes of these modern-day warriors are the same as those of the warriors of the past.
Whether one is a fighter or just wants to train like one, anyone can develop the fitness of body and strength of character of a warrior. This book was designed to bring out the warrior in all of us. Do you think you have what it takes to be a warrior? What is the legacy you want to leave behind for future generations? You will find that the workouts in this book will test, not only your body, but also your mind. In order for you to someday be a warrior, this book is going to ask just one thing of you: all that you have. Upon completion of these warrior workouts, you will be a physically harder and mentally stronger warrior no matter what your endeavor. It is then that you will be taking your first steps down the path of the warrior.
