Finish It With Your Spirit

The purpose of this training manual is to provide you with concrete information and actions to improve your fighting spirit. Your fighting spirit or attitude is critical to your success. Many times comments are made about fighting spirit such as - "that person has great spirit", or "the fighting spirit is the most important factor to success", or "that person lacks fighting spirit". Since it is an intangible concept much confusion and mysticism exists. In reality it is a simple concept. This book will concretely define and provide actions to find, direct and improve your fighting spirit. Everyone has it and can develop it further. The mind, body and spirit are interconnected. This book will start with physical and mental components then move to the spiritual components. There are gray areas between the mind, body and spirit. This book will cover how I categorize and define them for my class. Do not get caught up in the categorization. The important thing is to find your fighting spirit, improve it, then put it to work for you. This book will be limited to fighting spirit. Other spiritual aspects of the martial arts will not be covered. In Combative Martial Arts (CMA) this material is focused on in the Application and early Personalization stage.
