Still Standing, Still Growing: Presence Over Rank

What if the true reward of training wasn’t promotion—but presence?

In this heartfelt reflection on decades of Ki-Aikido practice, Keith Thorn shares the quiet power of simply showing up. This isn’t a story of titles earned, but of lessons lived—on the mat and beyond. With honesty and humility, he writes about falling, returning, aging, and learning to bow not just with the body, but with the spirit.

Through personal stories and timeless truths, Thorn reveals how martial arts becomes less about recognition and more about relationship—with self, others, and the present moment.

Whether or not the next rank ever comes, he knows now: presence was the point all along.

This is a book for anyone still growing.

Receiving It Forward

$1.00

What Pride Won’t Say

A Quiet Journey into Letting Help In, Letting Legacy Out, and Living with Meaning

Some lessons come in whispers. Others in worn tools, folded flags, or the quiet presence of someone who showed up when it mattered most. In Receiving It Forward, Keith Thorn shares heartfelt reflections and real-life stories that invite readers to embrace humility, grace, and the art of accepting help as an act of strength—not weakness.

Through moments of brokenness and restoration, Thorn weaves a tapestry of memory, gratitude, and quiet wisdom passed down from those who made a difference without asking for applause. Whether it’s a neighbor’s ladder, a stepfather’s shovel, or a veteran’s flag, each chapter reminds us that what we inherit isn’t just objects—it’s ways of being in the world.Read More
