Sam Louis –
I was really intrigued by Effortless Power. What stood out to me is how you show that mastery in Aikido isn’t about overpowering but about aligning with energy, something that feels as valuable for daily life as it does on the mat. The way the story moves from dojo lessons into real-world, high-stakes moments makes the philosophy feel alive and practical, rather than abstract.

Keith, I’ve got to hand it to you Effortless Power isn’t just a title, it’s practically a life philosophy wrapped up in a story. You’ve managed to blend martial arts grit, spiritual wisdom, and everyday humanity in a way that feels less like “reading a book” and more like sitting at the dojo while you casually drop truth bombs between Aikido throws. Respect.

Effortless Power isn’t just another martial arts story, It’s a spiritual slap (the good kind) that most people scrolling Amazon don’t even realize they need. You’ve got wisdom, real life encounters, and lessons that go beyond the dojo. Honestly, if Bruce Lee were still around, he’d probably buy a copy just to nod approvingly.
