  • Inspiring

    We need more people like Jeremy in the Martial Arts world. Less focused on ‘this style is better’ and more on uniting Martial Arts as a wonderful endeavor to better our lives. Wonderful podcast!

  • Principles for Martial Arts, Life

    Whether you’re into martial arts or not, Jeremy and his guests share deep reflections and real insights about growth and overcoming challenges both on and off the mat.

    I recently had the privilege of being a guest on the podcast, and it was a very insightful experience. Jeremy creates a very welcoming environment and digs deep to uncover parallels between martial arts, business, and life. I really enjoyed the conversation.

Episode 1162 - Rick Barrett
Q: What makes the book Tai Chi, A Path to Becoming Superconscious unique, and how does it help readers access higher states of being?
The guest outlines a framework for entering a state of superconsciousness by uniting body, mind, and spirit, providing practical language and exercises to move beyond the Western materialist view and reach a flow/state where actions are guided by heightened awareness rather than purely rational thought.
Episode 1162 - Rick Barrett
Q: Within a few months of starting Tai Chi, your health symptoms went away. What can you share about what those symptoms were and how they manifested?
He describes chronic back and neck issues from earlier life and explains that Tai Chi helped restore balance and body awareness, leading to the alleviation of pain and symptoms over time through improved hemispheric synchronization and mindful movement.
Episode 1160 - Anastasia Solberg
Q: How did you get started in martial arts?
As a child in Korea, I was introduced to taekwondo through a local studio during a period in New York, later returning to the discipline with renewed focus as an adult.
Episode 1154 - John Hatfield
Q: Where do you see the future of your school and martial arts in your region?
I'm planning to hand the day-to-day operations over to trusted successors while continuing to contribute through advanced training and seminars, ensuring the lineage and culture stay intact.
Episode 1146 - Nick Vernon
Q: Why not test Kata, and how does that fit with your overall evaluation method?
Kata is taught as a training tool; there are no formal Kata tests because training is ongoing through rolling and sparring, with evaluation occurring in regular practice rather than a formal exam.
