I'm the author of this book so rather than review it, I'll just tell you what it's about.

In karate, the 30 Man Kumite is a test that involves fighting 30 people in a row for one minute each in a full contact bout. The book is my own experience of the test. It includes the lifetime of martial arts training that went into it and the experiences and lessons learned from it. You don't need to know anything about martial arts to understand it - and hopefully enjoy it!

It's a little over a year since I read this book and I remember enjoying it immensely. I'm planning to read it again so I will write a review when I've finished it.
