Sifu Glen Doyle

'The Martial Artist's Way is a must for every marital arts library. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it beneficial for any person who wants to have self improvement, both spiritually and physically.

'Sifu Glen Doyle is a great friend...an excellent martial arts teacher with a vast amount of knowledge...with a heart of gold. Glen is an innovator in physical training, a top-notch fight choreographer, screen writer, actor...always willing to share with everyone ideas on how to improve oneself. The man has it all.'-Cynthia Rothrock

Bursting with the infectious enthusiasm with which Glen Doyle approaches the martial arts-and life as a whole-The Martial artist's Way serves as a guide and source of encouragement to martial arts students who are seeking to learn and to grow through their studies of their chosen martial art, and to apply the lessons learned to all aspects of their lives. This upbeat book teaches by positive reinforcement and simple example, and demonstrates how to get the most out of training, whether a student is totally new to martial arts or an old hand. With tips on everything from how to pick a martial art to suit personal needs and what to look for in selecting a good school to how to keep from losing enthusiasm after realizing intitial goals, this book is loaded with that rare commodity-practical and commonsensical advice, spoken with a voice clear and true.

Sifu Glen Doyle is the kung fu instructor of three-time Olympic figure skating champion Elvis Stojko, and is himself a three-time Canadian kung fu champon. A much-in-demand Hollywood fight-scene choreographer and screenwriter, as well as a star attraction on the kung fu tournament sceen, Sifu Doyle is one of the brightest young lights in the martial arts world.
