Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 74c - 9th Deg Scott Hilderbrand, The Kenpo Mill, Reno, NV, USA (Part 3 of 3)
Q: OK. So what advice would you have for someone starting out in the martial arts?
Find a place you feel comfortable with, commit to it, and stick with it even when it gets hard. Focus on understanding what you're learning, keep it enjoyable, and don't rush the journey. Recording insights and staying curious about how you learn will compound over time.
Episode 74b - 9th Deg Scott Hilderbrand, The Kenpo Mill, Reno, NV, USA (Part 2 of 3)
Q: How do you balance teaching traditional Kenpo with cross-training in other arts?
By focusing on principles that complement one another and introducing new practices only after a solid foundation is established, ensuring cross-training strengthens rather than confuses the student.
Episode 69b - 8th Deg Assoc Master , Scott Gonzalez American Kenpo, Arizona, USA (Part 2 of 2)
Q: What advice would you give to someone starting out in the martial arts?
Any martial art is better than none; focus on proximity and consistency, research to find a fit, and value the community and people you train with.
Episode 68c - 7th Deg Sen.Professor Glenn Haley, American Kenpo , Santa Clara CA, USA (Part 3 of 3)
Q: Okay, so you have your own school out there in San Jose?
Glenn explains that he previously owned a school in Austin, sold it in 2016, and now trains at Santa Clara Kenpo Academy while teaching a few nights a week; he emphasizes the importance of family and lineage in his Kenpo community.
Episode 68b - 7th Deg Sen.Professor Glenn Haley, American Kenpo , Santa Clara CA, USA (Part 2 of 3)
Q: What do you believe is the most misunderstood obligation of high-level martial artists?
The obligation is not about hierarchy but guiding and contributing positively to the art of Kenpo, while respecting the journey of others in their development.
