Jan. 28, 2009 - PRLog -- Stafford, Virginia - Kevin Brett Studios, Incorporated releases The Way of the Martial Artist: Achieving Success in Martial Arts and in Life! (240 pp., $16.00, ISBN-13: 978-0981935003), a new book that helps readers understand if their martial arts training will actually work in a self-defense situation and what is likely lacking in their training. Certified Martial Arts Instructor Kevin Brett answers this question and many more in his new book available at http://www.KevinBrettStudios.com

Martial arts are about survival and this book teaches readers how to develop the skill, strategy and character of a true martial artist to supplement their dojo training. It also provides in-depth insight into just what students and parents want from martial arts: discipline, commitment, honor, respect, perseverance and ultimately – success in any life-undertaking. Kevin Brett provides answers and insights to questions that all martial artists ask during their quest for excellence, purpose and enlightenment.

The Way of the Martial Artist: Achieving Success in Martial Arts and in Life! uses the principles of martial arts to show readers how any worthwhile goal or life challenge can be approached and achieved with black belt determination. The servant-warrior is an ancient concept that the author re-introduces to help modern readers understand how any success should be a service or benefit to others.

Shawn Kovacich, author of the highly acclaimed book series Achieving Kicking Excellence and high-ranking martial artist, calls The Way of the Martial Artist, "A comprehensive framework of the numerous principles and concepts you will need to become the best martial artist that you can be."  Black belt Richard Hefner says, “The Way of the Martial Artist is part success manual, part martial arts guide and part survival guide, and all essential!”
