Icy Mike: Imperfect

I tried to stay on topic but a bunch of martial arts dudes wanted to talk martial arts so then that happened.

I was more nervous than Nate was for his recent fight!

If you don't know your worth, you can't increase it.

The Worst Excuses I've Ever Heard to Get Out of Training

In this episode I try to give a PG-13 account of where I got the name.

The most touching, important thing that has ever happened in the history of this podcast happens here... and no it's not the guy who is high.

In this episode I talk about some instances of guys who come to "spar" only to end up trying to actually fight me.

In this episode I talk about my time at a Title Boxing Club, what it's like working there and how I was ultimately FIRED!

I realized I never actually uploaded this episode to podbean, it has only been available on YouTube!Dan "The Wolfman" Theodore is as old school as they come. He is a professional fighter, multiple martial art black belt, actor and stuntman and as far as I can tell a very credible instructor. He even has a course out on BJJ Fanatics right now... so why is he calling me out?You can view his YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQI9S-9hXoXUf3lNP-pQh5gAnd his course is here: https://bjjfanatics.com/products/combatives-and-street-jiu-jitsu-by-dan-the-wolf-man-theodore

In this episode we do a DVD commentary on my recent video with Sensei Seth where we made improvised weapons in a grocery store. We talk about how stupid the Nick vs. Nate question is... how none of us want to see Tyson vs. Holyfield again... and Dan The Wolfman returns and I force him to apologize to Sensei Seth.

In this episode I share my perspective on police use of force issues with Scarface from Streetbeefs in that hopes that information leads to understanding, and understanding leads to change.

That's all you need to do when confronted with haters, jealous people or those who are unjustifiably or unnecessarily critical of you.

Fight Perfect TV was one of the fastest growing YouTube channels related to martial arts, self defense and fighting and then they were suddenly deleted out of nowhere for no reason.Nope. It wasn't out of nowhere for no reason. It was plainly obvious it was coming, and there are very few questions as to why.In this video I talk with Joe from Fight Perfect TV about why I think he deserved to be deleted.

We talk to Kane, who is a mixed martial artist and pornstar who specializes in BJJ and Wrestling themed fetish videos. I don't know that I need to tell you much more about the episode after that sentence.A long time viewer does confront me about how I throw my uppercut improperly... but yeah... Wrestleporn is a thing.

I broadcast simultaneously on podbean and my YouTube channel, hard2hurt. I take lots of questions related to getting started in fighting and YouTube... and the advice and strategy is surprisingly similar.Follow Longshot MMA: https://www.youtube.com/user/chiefkamikaze  

We learn from UFC Cutman, Richie Elliot, about the importance of failure, keeping it simple and setting aside ego. Also we talk about shitting ourselves. Richie Elliot is a wise, insightful and funny guy... easily the best guest this podcast has ever had. You can follow him on instagram @richie_elliot

Sensei Seth is a 3rd Degree Karate Black Belt and viral Instagram sensation. We talk about internet fame, getting solicted for feet pics, sparring with Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson and take a call from an Australian ex-mma fighter who does fetish porn... wait... what?

We bring in a manager who works with Bellator and UFC fighters to talk some sense into an underage MMA fighter who is competing with adults using a fake ID. We also attack some insecurities head on, talking about vanity and body image issues among men and I share an obsessive behavior of mine.The show ends with a bang, as I proclaim... and prove... that I am the second coming of Bruce Lee.
