The Way is in Training

In this episode, I sit down with Ellis Amdur, a martial artist and author who I’ve respected for decades and talk about applying the lessons of classical Japanese martial arts to tactical communication in the modern world. Don’t miss this one, and check out Mr Amdur’s books on Amazon or at edgeworkbooks.com.
