The BAM is the gripping story of how a martial artist transformed from a
criminal in prison into a seven-time World Champion, a community leader, and
a real man. Willie Johnson tells his story in his own words, sharing his rebirth
from bullying, poverty, and abuse. Rampant crime and drugs engulfed his
community in 1960s Baltimore. Becoming a successful drug dealer, user, and
criminal eventually landed him in jail, following the all-too-familiar tragic
scenario repeated endlessly in black communities around the world.
