The martial arts can be exciting and fun for young people, but they are more than just kicking and punching. The valuable lessons found in the routines and rituals of karate, jiu jitsu, and other disciplines can bring joy and purpose to everything else you do in your life-even if you've never executed a roundhouse kick or split a board with your bare hand.Ninja Nguyen's martial arts adventure began when he was a small boy in Vietnam. It continued throughout his remarkable journey from his war-torn homeland to a refugee camp, and finally to America, where he's now the successful owner of a Boston dojo. In Step on the Mat, he shares his inspiring story as he leads you through each stage of his martial arts class-from opening bow to sparring and competition-and reveals the life-changing principles that can make you stronger in heart, mind, and body.

For several years many of my students have been urgently requesting written information regarding my thoughts on life and the martial arts. They requested it in book form. It all started with one particular Tae Kwon Do student and as several Quiet Storm practitioners began to seek me out on advance ideas, theory and philosophy, they also started training in Aikido on many occasions. As they practiced with the Aikido students that request for written knowledge began to spread to students in my Aikido classes. After giving it serious thought and "trying"to consider the consequences of this action, I began reflecting on my many years of experiences. I started looking through the notes which I had began jotting down dating from about 1973 through the present day. What I thought they wanted was incorrect. I soon came to realize that they didn't want a shortcut. I have always taught that there are no shortcuts. They wanted inspiration, or more to the point, they wanted to know about that which had inspired and guided me. Many students said I was different from anyone else they have ever met and they want to know why. I won't give you a definitive answer here, but I will tell you this: I do not believe "time" exists in the usual sense. Think only of "Now." That's all there is. Thinking that way may make it easier for you to comprehend why I seem different from most other people. I can tell you this; it's all an open secret.

In the dystopian realm of "The Order" society is eternally divided between the privileged Untouchables and the struggling Unfortunates. The Untouchables, draped in opulence and power, govern the city with an iron fist, casting long shadows over the impoverished Unfortunates who toil beneath in the murky depths of the working class. As the ruling elite revel in excess and luxury, the Unfortunates navigate a world stacked against them, grappling with meager resources and restricted opportunities. The social chasm widens daily as the Untouchables tighten their grip on wealth and influence, leaving the Unfortunates to navigate the shadows cast upon their lives. "The Order" follows the intertwining fates of two sworn enemies—one an ambitious Untouchable seeking to challenge the system from within, struggling to cope as the lies of her society unfold in front of her, the other an Unfortunate yearning for a chance to seek vengeance on any and every Untouchable in his path. Their stories unfold against a backdrop of intrigue, rebellion, and the unyielding determination to break free from the oppressive shackles of a society defined by its merciless class divisions. The question is, can free will exist in a society this divided?
