Description
Winning Fights focuses on 2,500 years of proven fighting principles originating from Eastern concepts and proceeding to the modern era. Like The Art of War and The Book of Five Rings, many of its lessons also apply to the world of business and negotiation.
Dr. Phillip Stephens conducted extensive research in developing this work. He drew from his years of martial training and his experience as a member of the North Carolina Boxing Commission. He even reached out to combat personnel at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, who offered additional insight on what it takes to prepare for combat—and to prevail.
Dr. Stephens looked beyond the technical to the conceptual and found that winning fights requires twelve core principles: preparation, awareness, commitment, lethality, efficiency, discipline, power, focus, fierceness, surprise, timing, and fortitude.
This book features:
- Twelve principles for winning fights
- A survey of Eastern and Western traditions
- An intelligent yet accessible discussion of these concepts
Dr. Stephens writes, "Technique is important, but techniques change, adapt, and evolve. Principles are timeless."
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Reviewers praise Winning Fights as a compelling handbook on managing conflict both physically and philosophically. Dr. Stephens is commended for clear and sharp prose, weaving Eastern martial culture and references to legendary strategists like Sun Tzu and Miyamoto Musashi. Although the book touches on spiritual power and mindfulness, its primary focus is on the realities of physical violence in settings ranging from martial arts dojos to street encounters. Readers regularly facing physical confrontations, including war veterans and school guidance counsellors, are noted to find significant value in the twelve crucial elements outlined for securing victory.
