It tells about how I grew up in small-town Kansas bullied and abused and told that I would never make it in martial arts and life in general.

I am also a 3x Martial Arts Hall-of-Fame Inductee and hailed as one of the top martial arts historians in the world. This book is now the 3rd edition of which the original was published in 2015 and tells of how I managed to overcome everything thrown at me in life and the field of martial arts to become the ‘Modern-Day Miyagi’ that I am today..
