  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 1170 - Rick Faye
Q: What is a business manager, and what does that look like?
Faye says a business manager builds systems for running the school, including handling leads, follow-up, and front-desk operations, freeing the instructor to focus on teaching. He credits his manager, Colton, with keeping the school running through a major family crisis.
Episode 1170 - Rick Faye
Q: Is Kali where you started or did you drift there?
Faye began with Taekwondo and other available arts, then attended a Dan Inosanto seminar in Chicago and was inspired to continue training with him while keeping up Taekwondo.
Episode 1169 - Martial Things with Adam Beckley
Q: What made you decide to get into making weapons in the first place?
Beckley got into woodworking in high school and found that shipping martial arts weapons could cost more than the items. Making weapons let him supply students affordably and offer locally made, customizable options.
Episode 1169 - Martial Things with Adam Beckley
Q: What made you decide to do the BJJ thing?
Beckley wanted to improve his weaker ground-fighting skills and learn to adapt if a confrontation went to the ground. He later focused on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which he says strengthened his core and helped his back.
Episode 1167 - Empathy, Trauma and Boundaries in Self Preservation with Tammy McCracken
Q: What is the biggest gap you see in current self-defense training?
The gap is the lack of sociological and psychological context; programs often treat self-defense as pure physical technique instead of a holistic, trauma-informed approach that considers safety, culture, and social dynamics.
