Books on fighting and discipline

>The Hagakure
Fuck yeah.
Throw in some Book of Five Rings and you've got yourself a masterful mindset meant for surviving any fight

Unarmed Techniques from Fabian von Auerswald

Dude basically invented modern wrestling

Warrior Ethos by Stephen Pressfield. Also Gates of Fire, its fiction, but drives home some great points.

The book you really want to read is Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Every young man should read it.
It is basically a treatise on hardships and discipline and it has very realistic depictions of fighting.

posting the obvious, just in case op lives under a rock

Not about fighting of course, but it's about survival in the harsh and dehumanizing life of the soviet gulag. It's a study in adaptation and endurance that will put your own hardships in perspective.

The art of war

Fuck yes, Gates of Fire is excellent.

Just take an mma class

essential to being a warrior is to understand that violence and politics are merely synonyms. Read "Vom Kriege" by Carl von Clausewitz

Don't forget adding this one

Xenophon's Anabasis. A historical account of the ten thousand Greek hoplite mercenaries who were abandoned in the middle of Persian territory, and managed to march all the way back home, all while having the emperor's army constantly harassing them and being lost in unknown territory with no supplies. Written by the commander of the army's commander.

>commander of the army's commander.
just meant to say army's commander

A lot of good ones have already been said.

I 100% agree with meditations, book of five rings, the anabasis and art of war.

I'd add:

On Killing by Dave Grossman
Tao of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee
The Prince by Machiavelli
Sun and Steel by Yukio Mishima

If, as someone else mentioned, I'm allowed to recommend movies, then I'd recommend:

Unforgiven
Once Upon a Time in Highschool

The main thing I'd recommend though, is either as an OVA, airing anime or translated novel (they're all available now, and they're all fine, allthough I'd say the OVA is best)
Legend of the Galactic Heroes by Yoshiki Tanaka

The Philokalia

Easily and fundamentally, The Iliad and The Odyssey are must-reads for any man

that ass is immaculate

Which publisher? or even which year of publishing

LARPer? Have a custom made full hoplite armor, travel to Greece or California or somewhere with Mediterranean Summer and carry that shit (about 20-22kg) around for hours. Do short dashes and fake fights too. You will get ripped af

Listen to this user

lol from literary evidence hoplites wouldn't put on armor until the last second because of how heavy and uncomfortable it was.

I took classes with a classicist who would have grad students put on reproduction armor and push in mock phalanx battles in Californian farm land to see what human limitation on phalanx battle was, sustained pushing never lasted more than 30 mins before complete exertion of energy

pic related hoplites would keep their helmets propped up on their heads until the charge because of how hot and uncomfortable the corinthian helmets were

Based and redpilled

Kinda retarded to put nerd twinks for such kind of test but I don't know the details and what exactly was that he was testing.

iliad

Isn't the movie the Warriors a modernized version of this

Very loosely, yes.

It's a pretty stock storyline.

>fighting
just join a sport martial arts

like said, you take grad sutdens, not fucking 'trained warriors' ofcourse they gonna fight for 30mins

Ashida Kim writes some of the most deadly books in print.
I'm surprised they're not illegal

If you guys haven't read Storms of Steel by Ernst Jünger, you are major faggots.

The Professor In The Cage. Title says it all: an English teacher joins a MMA gym to become less of a fag. The narration is a bit cringey at times but overall it's a decent primer on the topic of doods going at it.

the Illiad, alexander kept it under his pillow during his revered campaign, he even sent for a new one from greece when his copy was damaged. he called it the "doctrine of martial discipline"

I've barely watched Jordan Peterson, so if there's a meme about the book, I read it long before the meme got popular. It deserves it's reputation.

Anyway, here's another I recommend that might be closer to what OP had in mind.

Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield.

>while you were practicing premartial sex, I studied The Blade

Cant remember what its called but Ian Freeman's autobiography, he was a fighter in UFCs early days and and had to supplement his winnings with shady work, great read

This book is actuually fucking incredible. 5 stars.

Not really about fighting but makes loads of allegories about ancient warrior cultures and talks about discipline.
