The Way is in Training

By: Matthew S Little

Narrated by: Brad M Lowrie

This is a book on shooting and tactics, but it’s not just another book on basic shooting principles, rudimentary tactics, or fundamental weapons manipulations. I explore how warriors should train and fight, as well as how they should live. We will talk about technique, but will also dive deep into fitness, mindset, and strategy. We will explore leadership and philosophy as well.

So whether you are a young soldier, a veteran police officer, a responsible armed citizen, or simply someone looking for an authentic life, let’s examine how the lessons of combat and preparation can help us fulfill our potential. Let’s explore the way together, and learn how the discipline of training can show us our true selves amidst the chaos of life.

Learn, train, practice.

Matt Little's fighting and training experience is very recent and relevant. Excellent information from first to last page.

The Book of Five Rings for this generation

Matt has written a modern version of The Book of Five Rings. While tactics and techniques are touched upon. They are fluid and situational dependant. Matt gives you principle based ways to train and to develop how you train. Be it exercise, showing, hand to hand, blade, etc. And he covers what many leave out, philosophy and mindset to train and a code to live by. Read it, listen to the audio, digest both and then read the book again.

Great Book On Training

Current book with current methodology from someone with experience. I teach at a large LE Angency with an academy and this is a must read/listen for students and trainers alike.

Mostly Filler

For each topic the author basically gives you a short overview and then tells you to get training from a professional. As such, most of the content is in the short overview and doesn't seem to be that much more in-depth than common knowledge.

Mindset

Matt’s mindset is incredible, it makes me grateful to know that there are/were men of war like him.

State of our country

It was good prefer more detail over all and less criticism of others take on strategy .
