Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 1088 - Matt Sheridan
Q: How do you feel about discussions regarding martial arts issues?
Discussions are necessary for growth, and the mantra 'shut up and train' applies only within the dojo and should not stifle important conversations outside it.
Episode 1088 - Matt Sheridan
Q: What are your thoughts on the belt ranking system in martial arts?
I believe the ranking system has become politicized, often without the integrity that should accompany promotions. I suggest going back to maxing out at fifth dan and using titles for instructors who promote the art, rather than as a means of ego.
Episode 1084 - Steve Pearlman
Q: How do you answer what style do you teach?
I start with martial arts and self-defense, then explain it's a mix of different influences.
Episode 1084 - Steve Pearlman
Q: What brought you to training?
The classic story of getting bullied in school and parents shoved me into martial arts.
Episode 1084 - Steve Pearlman
Q: When was the last time you had a lot of fun in your training?
The last time I just had an absolute blast was at the Renaissance Martial Arts Festival a couple months ago.
