Welcome—I’m Kevin Putala, an emerging nonfiction author exploring the intersection of faith, martial arts, personal development, and leadership. After more than four decades of training, teaching, and leading in both martial arts and life, I’ve stepped into a new chapter: translating hard-earned experience into writing that informs, inspires, and equips others to grow.

My work is shaped by a lifetime on the training floor, years of military discipline, and the lessons forged through resilience, reinvention, and continuous self-improvement. Through my books, articles, and ongoing projects, I focus on practical wisdom—how we cultivate character, strengthen the body and mind, lead with integrity, and navigate life’s turning points with purpose.

Whether drawing from the traditions of Traditional Tang Soo Do and martial arts, personal stories of rebuilding after major challenges, or the universal principles shared by effective leaders, my goal is simple: to help readers become warriors in life.

Thank you for visiting.
