The Combat Minimalist's ManifestoIn a world where martial arts curricula are bloated with endless techniques, flashy forms, and ritualized drills, survival often comes down to one brutal truth: more is not better. The Combat Minimalist's Manifesto cuts through the clutter, showing you how to train smarter, strike faster, and survive under real-world stress. This book is not about impressing instructors, earning belts, or memorizing encyclopedias of moves. It is about building a lean, efficient, and deadly skill set that works when it counts. Through clear principles, practical drills, and a philosophy grounded in reality, you will learn how to identify the vital few techniques that solve most problems, train movements to mastery through repetition and instinct, test your skills under pressure that mimics real chaos, not choreographed theater, and design minimalist programs that maximize effectiveness without wasted effort. You will also learn how to build a personal or school-wide system that prioritizes survival, speed, and simplicity. Whether you are a practitioner, instructor, or survival-minded civilian, this manifesto will challenge everything you thought you knew about martial arts training. Less is not weakness. Less is lethal. Cut the fat, focus the strike, train only what matters.
