You can't let anything get in the way. The eighth and ninth commandments of Emerson's Commandments of a Warrior are as follows: 8. Never do anything without a purpose 9. Never do anything that is useless. There's no place where these words are truer than in hand-to-hand, life-and-death combat.

Learn the true value of gut feel, and realize that it is your best and truest friend and how you better start listening to what it is telling you. Never underestimate the power of the will to survive and how it can be harnessed to push you past the tipping point in favor of your survival. Learn how the, Loss of Self is the key to ultimate performance in the ability to fight without fear or harm.

Emerson continues with a clear discussion of the concept of Moral Clarity. By defining where you stand morally and how far you will go to defend yourself and others, is an all important aspect of self-defense, combatives, and all fighting skills that is seldom, if ever, discussed by any other instructors. Emerson forces you to face the cold hard facts of deadly force so you can make an informed decision about your capacities long before you face those realities in the heat of a life-and-death struggle. You cannot be encumbered by hesitation or indecision at a time where fractions of a second can spell the difference between life and death. This book teaches you how to make those decisions before the fact and how those decisions carry the weight that will tip the balance in your favor when push comes to shove.
