Former athlete and author China Smith Jr. releases “The Way of the Dragon,” a philosophical guide to overcoming life’s obstacles through faith and discipline.
SARASOTA, FL, UNITED STATES, February 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — China Smith, widely recognized by the moniker “The People’s Champ,” has announced the regional release of a new life-strategy framework titled “The Way of the Dragon.” Representing Author China Smith LLC, the former professional boxer, who was recently announced as an inductee into the 2026 Florida Boxing Hall of Fame, is pivoting from the ring to the literary stage to share a roadmap for personal resilience.
Smith’s athletic journey began as one of Florida’s top high school running backs before he achieved greatness in the boxing ring. He is now using that lifetime of experience to provide a roadmap for others. The new framework focuses on the concept of “Champion Living,” an ethos Smith developed while navigating the highs and lows of a high-profile career and personal hurdles. The initiative seeks to bridge the gap between setting high-level goals and the spiritual endurance required to achieve them.
“Through all the obstacles, I maintained a constant drive to rise and search for greatness,” Smith stated. “I am now focused on empowering people of all ages across Florida and beyond to understand that while the path isn’t easy, there is a specific guideline to making that journey more attainable.”
The “Way of the Dragon” emphasizes mental fortitude and faith-based perseverance. Smith identifies his mission as providing “living proof” that obstacles are not dead ends, but requirements for growth. While the rollout will prioritize community engagement throughout the Florida Gulf Coast, serving Sarasota, Bradenton, Tampa Bay, St. Pete, and Ft. Myers, Smith intends to eventually expand the message globally.
As an author and speaker, Smith’s transition is part of a broader effort to provide mentorship to those seeking personal transitions. His book, which details these life lessons, is currently available on his website in both English and Spanish. By distilling forty years of “the good, the bad, and the ugly” into a structured guide, Smith aims to leave a lasting impact on every audience he reaches.
Further information regarding the “Way of the Dragon” guidelines, speaking engagements, and his literary projects can be found on his official platform.
