Synopsis

It is Steve’s ability to see the wood for the trees, to be frank about what you were not doing right, how to correct it in any number of different and engaging ways and not get bored. He was successful at improving everyone, young, old, bouncers, special forces and old school, traditional martial artists. This book encapsulates a lifetime of knowledge: read it, reread it, and read it again. You will be rewarded.
- Will Henshaw, Producer of BBC’s Mind, Body & Kickass Moves -

The books I’ve written in the past are either what a publisher asked and paid me to do, small instructional booklets for students, or poetry. Because of my philosophy expressed in magazine articles, blogs and posts, I’ve often been asked
why I haven’t written one on my philosophy, or in-depth on my martial arts. My answer has usually been that I like to express it in short bursts, so I do blogs and social media. However, I now feel it’s time to record it with context from my life. Why a soft front and a strong back? It encapsulates my entire philosophy. Fifty years of study has taught me that both, in balance, are necessary for a successful and happy life and business.
