A memoir of survival, strength, and the legacy I'll leave behind.
The Book
When life breaks the body… the warrior decides what happens next.
On December 3, 1982, a catastrophic head-on collision took the only stable father figure David Bybee knew. In the aftermath, he was thrown into an abusive household, where he was tortured and tormented by his own grandmother. At thirteen, he found his salvation on the canvas mats of a martial arts dojo.
That discipline carried him to the World Heavyweight Kickboxing Championship. Then, at the peak of his life, a broken back, financial collapse, and devastating loss stripped everything away.
The Warrior Bloodline is the story of what came next… an unyielding faith, a mechanical warrior discipline, and the choice to rebuild a life worth passing on.
