The Dragon Concept

About the Book

When asked, most people will describe martial arts as a form of exercise associated with violent natured people. This book was written with the main purpose of shedding this and other misconceptions.

The first chapter describes the various types of martial arts, the people involved in promoting them and their purpose.

The classified styles based in theories and Animal traits are dealt with in the second chapter and do not discriminate with regard to any particular style.

Subsequently the advantages and disadvantages of different styles (based on their Animal traits) taking personality and relationships into consideration and classifying people according to these is discussed.

Finally, the ultimate Dragon Concept (linking style and personality) and possibility of becoming a Dragon by understanding your own personality is reviewed.

This book has been written to dissipate any erroneous ideas about martial arts and to open up the exciting possibilities these disciplines offer for developing people's personalities and increasing their strengths and potential.
