This book was almost ready in 2016…then I realized, I personally wasn’t ready to release it. It needed work – the training methodology it presents needed some adjusting, and more importantly, the philosophical message behind the book…I needed to absorb.

CLM 4: The State of Action.

Enjoy…
From it’s dedication to it’s end, CLM 4 is a declaration like few have made in the martial art world.

The long awaited fourth installment in the CLM series, The State of Action asks, then answers, the most important question of martial art: ‘why?’

Taking challenging topics, such as existence, time, survival, and pedagogy, CLM 4 looks into the question of ‘why martial art’, and answers it.
