Overview

What happens when your dreams are shattered in two? When your world comes crumbling down and you're forced to begin anew? Do you stay down and blame the game or embrace the flame and let the transformation take you? This is the essence of Exit The Dragon. On the surface we meet JonMac, a young martial artist in search of his destiny to be champ... or so he thought. A freak accident sends the young warrior down a rabbit hole of self-discovery, questioning everything from who he is and why he's here to the purpose of life and how to conquer fear. Exit the dragon is a no holds barred approach to the human experience, shedding light on the greatest fight we'll ever have: the one with ourselves.

He's a lifelong martial artist... he lives the art... he lives it in such a way that there's no violence or stigma of any type of aggression about it with him. It's a truly life changing thing to be able to take an art that can be potentially so destructive and be creative with it. - STEVE DEL FIERRO: 4X National Muay Thai Champion It's a great -- not hand guide -- but almost like a great Cliff Notes on your life and what your life is gonna be like, and what you can expect... Some right turns, some wrong turns, some left turns. Some roads you should have stayed on. I think it would be a great guide for anybody who wants to be a fighter. I think it will reach more people than that, but I think, honestly, fighters would love to pick this book up and read it. - BRANDON VERA: ONE FC Heavyweight World Champion JonMac is a hardworking individual who likes to perfect what he's on. He stays focused. Very determined. His work ethic is unbelievable... If he were to pursue fighting, there's no doubt in my mind he would be world champion... Like I said, I can't stress, no matter what he do. If this guy wanna become a motha' f*ckin' taco shop owner, everyone's gonna go to that taco shop. - TIGER SMALLS: Former NABO & WBO Featherweight World Champion That's really the only experience I have with Jon, is beating the hell out of each other. When you exchange blood and choke each other out a few times and hurt each other's arms and know that person could have broke your arm that day or they didn't... or they could have torn your knee apart but they didn't, you build some sort of comradery. I'm not one of those people who forgets who got me somewhere... JonMac was always good to me, always a great training partner. - DOMINICK CRUZ: Former UFC Bantamweight World Champion Above all else, he's an alchemist. Martial artist. Writer. He's a creator. He creates. That's what he does. He creates things, he changes shit to whatever it is that he wants it to be. - JAVIER ENRIQUEZ: Kajukenbo Black Belt, *Featured Photographer Jon has a way of teaching you so that you can grasp the concept and the idea. He takes different things and changes the medium of it, and knows how to correlate things, in a sense to where you can grasp it. It doesn't matter what kind of audience you have. It doesn't matter if you're a chef, or you're a dancer... he'll find ways of showing you how to understand what he's trying to portray and what he's trying to reach out to the people. - NICO NOCHE: Kajukenbo Black Belt, Musician, DJ, Dancer I think he was destined for this. I think that aside from his extreme talent as a fighter and martial artist, I think that Jon is meant to do this. He's got a really different mind... His message can help the person who's in the most successful position in life to a person that is sleeping on the bathroom floor. Jon's book -- whatever he does in life -- will help anybody of any walk of life. - GAZZY PARMAN: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, Female Grappling Pioneer
