The Art of Warriorness
Just as Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War,” has been applied to many different aspects of modern life; I believe there are many great lessons to be learned from all of the warriors and warrior societies, from SEALS to Samurais, and Spetsnaz to Spartans.

Edmund Dantes replied to Andy Spalding's discussion Martial Art vs. Martial Sport in the group Martial Artists"When you're facing three guys who learned their "skills" in prison, the *last* thing you're going to want to do is lose your head and go "primal".

I've been looking around the internet for martial arts forums, and it seems that everywhere you go these days, you run into groups of guys who are convinced that MMA is *the* martial art and everything else is for wimps. MMA has…"
Edmund Dantes replied to Andy Spalding's discussion Martial Art vs. Martial Sport in the group Martial Artists"No offense taken, you actually said what I was trying to say. The simplest techniques are the ones that tend to be the most effective.
I have been in "real fights", and I can tell you that I cannot think of a single reason in which you…"
Edmund Dantes posted a blog postOn leadership, supervision, managing and just being the boss.
In my professional life, something has been bothering me for a while now, and that is the complete lack of leadership in our country today.

I think there is a definite quality to true leaders, and so I'd like to spend a few hundred words defining the difference between those who simply supervise and those who lead.I believe there is a heirarchy when it comes to those in roles of authority.

Edmund Dantes replied to Chris Amendola's discussion Manly Martial Arts: The Hows and Whys. in the group Martial Artists"To answer the original question, martial arts are manly because they transcend the mere act of brawling.

Nick Lanier replied to Tyler M.'s discussion "Are Catholics Christians?" in the group Christian Men"Short answer is yes, Catholics are Christians. Anyone who attempts to say "Well, the Bible doesn't say..." or "I believe that the Scripture is the final authority" is being intellectually incongruent. That is not…"
Nick Lanier replied to Elliott Jason Ridgway's discussion Bible Translations in the group Christian Men"Steve,
