New Joe Lewis Training manual available for immediate purchase!

I want you to be one of the first martial artists to receive my new, over 200-page, Training Manual. This edition has several new sections and instructional photos not included in my first manual released last year.

Order now and receive your personally autographed copy!

The new material includes:

-  An entire section on the science of movement.

-  A definition of angular attack and photo breakdown on each of the five angular attacks.

-  Additional interaction drills with coach sparring sets and the three postures used for each.

-  An eight-page section discussing the first principle in martial arts strategy, the art of distancing.

“No one knows in advance how combat nerves are going to hit you.”

-  Complete new section on “Developing the Fighters Rhythm.” Photos of never taught before rhythm set drills.

- “Sparring Coaching Tips” New section exploring what is an educated trainer.  A first time list of the top most common mistakes fighters commit.  Great for critiquing any sparring.

-  New section, “Top 20 Do’s and Don’ts.”

-  Added editorial info on the “Dirty Dozen,” our attitude techniques.  Each with added photos.

-  Our fighting forms, called Sequences, now include explanation on their history and what tactics each is designed to use against which types of opponents.  No other system teaches this information.

-  New section on fun exercises drill called “Flurries.”  We’ve included six of the twelve that we teach such as Cut-time and Headhunter, two of my personal favorites for developing speed.

It's truly some of the best work I've ever created...

In fact, I am 100% confident that you will find the contents unmatched by any other system worldwide.  Much of the instruction in the manual has never been taught anywhere in the martial arts world.  I have spent my entire life seeking and working with the world's most brilliant teachers and training with history's top fighters.  I have never allowed myself to settle for anything less.

I have put my heart and forty-nine years of training into this manual.  Its definitive, comprehensive, and complete contents more than dignify my years of effort.

Let me add...approach and attitude are the two most important attributes martial artists need before entering a sparring session or competition.  Today there exists neither methodology nor instruction standards which regulate the learning process and that also teach martial artists the discipline required to develop energies of the mind.  This manual explores these types of subjects, along with what I call "mental fitness;" one of the most important skills that any serious martial artist should learn.

In addition, some of my original critical concepts I cover in this manual, include:

-  How to use at least three different tactics against all the various opponents. There are nine basic types of fighting styles; (1) the taller opponent, (2) the croucher/grappler, (3) the rusher/explosive fighter, (4) the jabber/lead leg sharpshooter, (5) the south-paw, (6) the slugger/inside trench fighter, (7) the counter fighter/entrapper, (8) the cat and mouse elusive runner, and (9) the hard kicker. Teaching correctly how to spar each of these styles involves the use of many tactical principles all serious instructor need to know.

“Do not let your opponent dictate your strategy.”

-  How to teach sparring drills to those who fear and choose to avoid any type of competitive combat or fighting.

-  How to teach the six levels of sparring before any student is allowed to test his sparring skills.

-  How to teach students how to avoid "the top forty mistakes fighters commit."

-  The sequence of a martial artist's most important attributes: rhythm, timing, judgment, speed and accuracy.

-  How to master the five angles of attack.

-  Learn the various containment skills and techniques.

-  Several categories of interaction drills that can double your effectiveness as a fighter.

-  How to build your preflight attitude and increase your confidence.

-  My unique glossary of martial arts fighting definitions, which you can integrate into your own speaking and teaching.

-  The correct way to defend against every technique and its best counter maneuver.

-  How to improve teaching skills by learning proper sparring vocabulary.  When students hear you tell them "to squeeze, "line him up," and then "turn him," they will know exactly how to score against tougher opponents.

-  How to add a few short kickboxing forms (katas) to your curriculum.  Students gain insightful confidence when their range of knowledge becomes expanded by including a few more fluid and practical forms, which greatly compliment their present style.

-  How to increase any instructor's mental sharpness by exercising the challenge of learning new things.  Students become more focused and alert in many areas of their daily awareness when these thinking processes are taught and integrated.

Also, I have condensed into this manual a structured, easy to learn method including both the mechanical skills and the mental process of strategic thinking. This is intended to help instructors to be both mentally fit and physically sound in their own performance and practice of martial arts.

The secret to becoming a strong martial artist begins with the word energy, especially those psychological energies which are at the core of ones self-esteem. Without this, no martial artist is capable of having the confidence to execute with conviction or effectiveness.

What ultimately is a martial artist's greatest strength? It is the authority of his will.

"In the highest appraisal of that which ultimately defines a great fighter, principle value is placed on the content of one's fighting character, not one's fighting skills."

Keep in mind that all of my material can be used to teach either self-defense oriented curriculums, or traditional mainstream styles, or cutting edge full-contact systems.  This manual primarily focuses on teaching principles, strategies and mental attitudes.  I do not advise anyone to change their style of executing basics. 

For immediate delivery of your copy (or copies), please email me directly at Joelewiskarate@msn.com or contact me at 727-420-0496. Credit card orders accepted.  This new much large manual is priced at $119.95.

I look forward working with you at one of my seminars or at my annual conference in Tampa, Florida

in 2009

Cum Corde Et Animis,

Joe Lewis
