Crouching Tiger: Taming the Warrior Within | |||||||
| Waiting in the Shadows of Your Soul Crouching Tiger: Taming the Warrior Within is an insightful and informative look into the philosophical beast that lies in all of us. Discover how strength and power can be hidden inside until the moment it’s needed, harnessing the element of surprise. We all have within us a crouching tiger – a warrior spirit that may be aggressive, intense and easily unleashed… or it may be quiet and rarely show itself. Author Loren W. Christensen - soldier, policeman, martial artist - has had to call upon his warrior spirit in a wide range of violent encounters: grueling karate and jujitsu matches, brutal barroom brawls and street fights as a military policeman in Saigon, Vietnam, shootings, riots, and gang warfare as a police officer in Portland, Oregon, and fights in the mean streets. Within some, their crouching tiger is buried deeply inside them, the result of profound religious beliefs, psychological factors or other influences. Though deep, it is nonetheless there… waiting for the right moment to be unleashed. These people are soldiers, police officers, martial artists, street thugs, athletes, hunters, barroom brawlers, corporate executives, politicians, mothers, fathers… and you. In Loren’s own words, "Within this small volume are anecdotes of times when I was heroic, stupid, fearful, and when my warrior spirit was clearly out of control. I'm proud of some of the experiences I share and embarrassed by others. But I have included both, because from each of them Ive learned valuable lessons about violence, life and myself. While these are my experiences, you will find in them, a little or a lot of yourself. If they help you to begin to understand your warrior spirit your crouching tiger -- my efforts have not been wasted." | |||||||
