This is the first book to exclusively focus on the martial artist with 50 or more years of study in the martial arts, a true collector's item! This book is a tribute to Grandmaster Ron Van Clief and the over 100 martial artists for their dedication in the pioneering of the martial arts of today! The American Martial Arts Alliance creates the first martial arts biography and history book dedicated to martial artists with 50 or more years in the martial arts. The book pays homage to some of our great modern-day masters & Grand Masters who influenced current styles of martial arts.

The Changing Lives Biography Series in the Martial Arts is unlike any other book dedicated to the accomplishments of men and women in the martial arts. This book pays tribute to Grandmaster Ernie Reyes Sr., an American martial artist, actor, and fight choreographer who is also the co-founder and head instructor of West Coast World Martial Arts. This isn't just another anthology or collection of short stories. This book is notable because it features some of the people who have shaped the martial arts we know today. You will discover about people who were bullied as children and grew up in harsh circumstances but went on to become great martial artists, world champions, and corporate leaders through the biographies in this book.
