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"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. Somehow we've equated the idea that simply being experienced at something makes one qualified to lead. 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 Andy Spalding's discussion Martial Art vs. Martial Sport in the group Martial Artists"I think a lot of the perception of martial "art" vs. "sport" has to do with the misconception that somehow combative martial arts = maximum force.
