Fellow Martial Artist, Louis Lugo, Publishes His First Book!

Crossroads: The Louis Lugo Story

Louis Lugo has come a long way from the gangster he once was. Today, Lugo manages a successful martial arts program as well as a magazine. Lugo, with author R.S.Hunter, finally tells his story. Crossroads: The Louis Lugo Story describes Louis' true-life transformation as he grows from a small child to a young adult in the tough and dangerous world of the New York projects.

Experiencing the brutal treatment of a ruthless uncle and street-hardened foes, Louis is molded into a fierce and treacherous adversary to all who challenge his turf. Becoming a drug dealer and hustler at fifteen was the culmination of all his prior years as a gang member.

Jail, gangs, drug dealing, and becoming a parent defined the first thirty-plus years of Louis' life. After being mortally wounded with gunshots to his head and body, Louis decided his life needed a fresh start. With the help of his instructor, Master Moore, he started a successful martial arts school. Years later, he was to encounter his final tests and the crossroads in his life. These challenges led him to his faith and the creation of a life dedicated to helping those who had experienced the kind of evil that had filled his a major portion of his life.

Crossroads: The Louis Lugo Story is the inspiring, true story of Louis' life as he faces fear with courage and turns rage into forgiveness. His journey is unforgettable and his transformation is remarkable.
