martial artists arrive - total strangers, each carrying the weight of their style, philosophy, and pride. Twenty-four fighters. Twenty-four disciplines. One rule: respect above all.
From the flowing kicks of Sikaran to the precise strikes of Arnis, the spinning rhythms of Capoeira to the lethal efficiency of Krav Maga, each warrior embodies not just a fighting technique, but a way of life. Here, skill alone isn't enough. Only those grounded in balance, awareness, and humility will survive the trials ahead.
As rivalries ignite and philosophies clash, the island becomes a crucible for testing the limits of body and mind. Friendships will be forged, alliances shattered, and every warrior will discover that strength without respect is meaningless.
One Ground is the first volume of an epic martial arts saga - a cinematic, realistic, and deeply human story of combat, discipline, and the universal truth that transcends every style: every warrior stands. Only the grounded survive.
