Here's My ORIGIN STORY:
Hi, I'm Lee Matthews.
I'm an accomplished entrepreneur, mentor, business coach, and kickboxing world champion who has built multiple 7-figure businesses.
Let me tell you my story.
THE WARRIOR'S PATH: MY STORY
I'm Lee Matthews, an accomplished entrepreneur, mentor, business coach, and kickboxing world champion who has built multiple 7-figure businesses.
My passion lies in helping others succeed and building a supportive community for martial arts trainers and entrepreneurs who share my vision of excellence.
At 18, I made a decision that would change my life forever – joining the elite British Parachute Regiment. Coming from modest beginnings and working in a factory, I knew I had to transform myself both mentally and physically.
Despite early challenges, including being initially rejected for being underweight, my determination never wavered. Through rigorous training, I not only passed the grueling P Company selection but excelled, earning the fittest recruit award and the prestigious Prince of Wales badge for Leadership.
During my eight years of service, including operations in Northern Ireland and Kosovo, I became a Physical Training Instructor, developing the leadership skills that would later prove invaluable.
The CHAMPION'S RISE
After leaving the military, I combined my expertise as a paratrooper and PTI with my martial arts background to create British Military Martial Arts.
My competitive spirit drove me to the highest levels of the sport – I spent a decade on the WAKO GB squad, earning 10 British Championships, 2 WAKO Pro European titles, and multiple world championships.
But my greatest achievement wasn't in competition; it was in creating a training system that would help others transform their lives just as I had transformed mine.

I have known Lee for almost 20 years. We travelled and fought together all around the World while in the TopTen UK Team, and also when we were both representing Great Britain together.
Lee also worked closely with my family on a few other very successful projects together. He has vast experience in top level fighting, coaching and business and is one of the very best in our industry, with his experience in all of these areas.
He’s created a book to breakdown all the information you need for all things martial arts. It’s a tool for good fighters that want to learn how they can use their skill set to make a great living, while still keeping their integrity and helping many people through the world of Martial Arts

Lee served in the 3rd Battalion in the parachute regiment, which is the same battalion I started my military career in. I know first hand the level of commitment and excellence Lee needed to achieve this, which is also common place in elite and special forces.
He has continued on his life journey with this mindset that was gained in the military. He has had a goal of continuous improvement, which is the reason for his wider success as a fighter, coach and business man.
What he has set out in this book, sums up everything you need to do to attain a strong mind and dominate in your arena of martial arts. It also explains how to be the very best at what you do and use your skills to help others, while building and scaling up a successful business.

Lee has been my martial arts instructor since I started at 4 years old. He has been one of the biggest influences in my career. He’s taught me so many valuable lessons on how to approach all kinds of situations, from fighting to every day life.
He instilled in me a work ethic and a mentality that has made me become a successful champion in martial arts. But this book isn’t just about martial arts, it’s about tackling any obstacle, confronting any challenge, and having an elite mindset that not many others can understand.
In this book, Lee shares the experiences that have made him the way he is, elite. If you’re content with being average and mediocre, this book isn’t really for you. But if you’re serious about being the very best in what you do, I suggest you start reading.
