“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Well I just got a membership to 24 hour, and in a couple of weeks i plan to go back to martial arts.

Also quitting smoking, getting my grades up, and getting my ass in gear in all other areas.

Anyways I just bought two martial arts books "Zen in the Martial Arts" and "Living the Martial Way."

I already read "Zen in the Martial Arts" and its really good, its written by one of Bruce Lee's students.

I just started "Living the Martial Way" and I really enjoy it thus far.

Have any of you read these?
Comments/discussion on them?
Also any other martial artists give me some advice on going back... i quit about 2 years ago I was almost at purple in taekwondo... (about halfway through)
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Living the Martial Way is an excellent book, very practical and if oyu read into it enough, the principals of combat are closely related to courtship and dating...

as said by a daimyo in the 1500's of Japan...

"Living everyday on the field of battle"


I would also reccomend "Budoshoshinshu" by Daidoji Yuzan

as well as "Go Rin No Sho (Book of Five Rings) by Miyamoto Musashi

Best,

Jin

i doubt a book, no matter how gud it is cant be as gud as a decent class
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

He is correct.

Knowledge of fighting, and actually doing the fighting are two different things.

If you only read a good book, you will only know about the art, not do.

But if you train, you will be able to perform, even if your knowledge is poor.
