One person fights a line-up of thirty fighters, one after another, full contact, moving up the grades to face the strongest, most dangerous fighters last. Waking Dragons is a true account of Goran Powell's 30 Man Kumite and the lifetime of martial arts that led up to it. He covers the fitness training and mental preparations required for such a brutal test, talking openly of the conquest of fear and the spiritual growth that is at the heart of the traditional martial arts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eREVIEWS \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"It inspired me, and I know it will inspire you\"\u003cbr\u003eGeoff Thompson \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The author's journey is one in which we can find great wisdom, information that all martial artists should know\" \u003cbr\u003eLawrence Kane \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Quite simply, this book is impossible to put down\"\u003cbr\u003eTraditional Karate and Combat Magazine \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"One of those rare books you want to keep reading because it's so good, but fear reaching the end because then it will be over\"\u003cbr\u003eWaterstones \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"An exciting and tense read with lots of action\"\u003cbr\u003eMartial Arts Magazine, August 2007. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"I only wish I'd written the damned thing myself\"\u003cbr\u003eNick Hughes, Ultimate Warrior USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Goran Powell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781450515009\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44939124080755,"sku":"9781450515009","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_f0690705-8632-4df1-9118-4050c44ee2c4.jpg?v=1778248349","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/waking-dragons-a-martial-artist-faces-his-ultimate-test-9781450515009","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
