Secrets Of Power: THE MENTAL WARRIOR

Can you tell us a little bit about your book




BM: Well The Mental warrior is the second in the series of the
Secrets of Power. It deals with the issues and techniques needed to
develop mental techniques


Rick: What made you decide to write Secrets Of Power: THE MENTAL
WARRIOR?


BM: I realized that the real power of martial arts was not in the
physical side of the realm but instead in the ability to both train
and understand the mind. But there have been so many feel good books
that didn't give the real facts that I felt it was time to give
people who really wanted to know an alternative. This is especially
true with Autohypnosis which is a extremely useful mental technique
but most people don't know about ... because there just isn't much
factual material out there that is in a format that the non PHD
psychiatrist or psychologist can easily understand. Furthermore none
of it is really explained in a way that is applied to the martial
arts. So I wanted to give martial artists the option of understanding
and developing this tool.

but I didn't want to write just another just do this, sit in this
meditation position and think pure thoughts type of book. Instead I
wanted to give an understanding of both the methods of mental
training AND the reason why such things work from a scientific point
of view (In terms that are understandable even if you don't have
medical training) and way to mark your progress so you can determine
how you are doing.


Rick: What kind of background do you have that allowed you to write
such an informative book?


BM: well both my training in martial arts and of course my medical
training is psychiatry as a Physician Assistant. I have 27 years
experience and training in medicine and over 40 years in the martial
arts.

But didn't base this book on just my personal beliefs or experience.
I based it on solid reference material and in fact gave many of those
references so that people could look up what I said and take it
beyond my book if they desired.


Rick: Is your book for martial artists or would anyone benefit from
it?


BM: Actually the techniques and explanation can be used by anyone!
Especially since I lay out the scientific explanations in way that
anyone can use.


Rick: How would your book help a martial artist?


BM: well first off I believe that the real secret to controlling
what happens around you is in controlling your own mind.
Understanding what is happening and being able to control both your
(natural) fear and your responses gives you a tremendous edge.
Especially in times of confrontation our mind can work for us or
against us ... learning the ways to make it work for us can make all
the difference when it counts the most.


Rick; And how would your book help the average person?





BM: the same situations that confront a martial artist in an
altercation affect everyone now a days. Even though not always as
intense the same stresses are there. Therefore the ability to
control your mind is a benefit that can be used I think by anyone.
