A Wolf In The Woods James Eke

On a beautiful, isolated trail in the Pacific Northwest, writer and martial artist, James Eke had a run-in with a wolf that would have a lasting impact on how he trains and teaches the martial arts. While he walked away from the confrontation unscathed, Eke realized that nobody fights a wolf and doesn't find their life changed and compelled to examine what happened, how they responded and what they could have done differently. What he came up with is a simple 14 step blueprint approach of combat essentials that should be a focus for everyone who trains - preparing the student of combat, sport or martial arts for their own 'wolf in the woods' moment. A Wolf In The Woods: Combat Essentials For The Martial Artist, is Eke's retrospective examination of key aspects of martial arts training which will allow anyone to achieve true mastery in the martial arts, sport or life. James Eke is the author of Warrior's Way: A Guide To Lifelong Learning In The Martial Arts as well as the novels Roadside Saints and Falling Backwards. He is the owner and chief instructor of the Eke Academy of Martial Arts in Victoria, BC, Canada, specializing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Jeet Kune Do, Kali, Silat, Eskrima and Kickboxing.
