The Book of Five Rings is a classic text on strategy and combat written by legendary samurai, Miyamoto Musashi nearly 400 years ago. Today I am joined by Mark Mireles to talk about how the wisdom contained in this book is still relevant for self protection today. Mark is a 2 time recipient of the LAPD Medal of Valor, a threat assessment and personal protection practitioner, and a high ranking martial artist in several styles. He combines incredible personal experience in frontline self-protection with classical training and a deep appreciation for written works on life, death and combat. Please enjoy this conversation, Ancient Wisdom for Modern Self-Protection with Mark Mireles.   *** Make sure you check out our full catalogue of episodes at www.violencepod.com If you'd like to support the show, you'll find lots of opportunities at www.violencepod.com/support And if you'd like to talk about myself or my team helping out your organisation, business or club, go to www.violencepod.com/training
