Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jeremy Butler – Pagoda Rebirth Martial Arts – EP292
Q: When did teaching become a formal part of your career, and what shaped your approach to instruction?
Teaching started early, first with leading warm-ups as a teen and later taking on substantial instructional roles; over time, I shifted from rigidly following the system to personalizing instruction to fit each student's body, strengths, and goals.
Jeremy Butler – Pagoda Rebirth Martial Arts – EP292
Q: What led to your martial arts journey starting at age 12?
A pivotal moment on the south side of Chicago after a confrontation with gang-related youths ignited a need for self-protection, which steered me toward an affordable Pagoda Ryu program that became a lifelong passion.
Ice Young – EP286
Q: What was the turning point for shifting from traditional arts to reality-based training?
Desire for more combat-oriented, real-world techniques led him away from forms around 1992 and toward aggressive, practical training including No Holds Barred and later MMA-influenced styles.
Ice Young – EP286
Q: When did he start teaching professionally and how did the system Kuhapta Kempo come about?
He began officially teaching in 2001, and by 2004-2005 he coined Kuhapta Kempo as a blended system combining karate, kung fu, and kenpo into a unified framework.
F. Braun McAsh – Fight Choreography – EP287
Q: Do you prefer choreography or acting on camera, and why?
Choreography is essential because it shapes how a fight tells the story and develops character; I value being able to craft the underlying narrative of a fight even when performing or directing.
