For readers seeking a thoughtful exploration of the intersections between physical prowess, personal struggle, and societal norms, "Red Belts" is a must-read. Pendexter'Äôs deft storytelling and profound insights invite both martial arts enthusiasts and newcomers alike to reflect on the broader implications of discipline and perseverance, ensuring a lasting impact long after the final page is turned.
