Podcast on martial arts, mental health and whatever comes to mind.
Can a martial art really support mental well-being? In this podcast, I explore how Karate is becoming a powerful tool for mental health, especially through my work with students from a mental health charity who train regularly as part of their therapeutic journey. While Karate isn't officially recognised as a therapy yet—like dance therapy—we're working to change that. I also share my personal story of how Karate helped me overcome anxiety and imposter syndrome, offering structure, confidence, and a mindset shift that changed my life. You'll discover how: The built-in system of controlled failure in Karate creates a habit of pushing through challenges in and out of the dojo. Sparring brings intense focus and presence, acting as a form of mindfulness where the outside world simply disappears. Practicing Karate builds mental resilience, discipline, and emotional release, all essential elements for mental health. Whether you're curious about martial arts or seeking new approaches to mental wellness, this video offers insight, inspiration, and a fresh way to look at Karate—not just as a fighting skill, but as a potential mental health ally.

Even after earning a black belt, many martial artists silently struggle with feeling like they're not “good enough.” In this episode, we explore how imposter syndrome shows up in karate—especially when comparing ourselves to elite athletes or others in the dojo. Instead of chasing someone else's path, we talk about the power of measuring progress against your past self, embracing individual growth, and redefining what success really means on the mat.

In this episode, we explore the inspiring shift happening across the global karate community. Drawing from personal experiences teaching at national and international seminars, we highlight how practitioners are moving away from rivalry and division toward mutual respect and collaboration. Instead of criticising other styles and organisations, more and more karateka are now promoting diverse approaches and supporting one another's growth. It's a powerful evolution — and a sign that the future of karate is more united than ever. Mental health course: https://payhip.com/b/2hNUD Free Action Plan: https://payhip.com/b/1b0Mk
The number of bunkai (applications) for a single technique in karate depends on the practitioner's level. Beginners usually learn one clear, structured application to build a strong foundation. As skill and understanding deepen, advanced practitioners can explore multiple interpretations—adapting techniques to different contexts and even creating their own variations. The deeper the knowledge, the more open and creative the bunkai becomes. Mental health course: https://payhip.com/b/2hNUD Free Action Plan: https://payhip.com/b/1b0Mk
What's the difference between Old School Karate and Traditional Karate? In this episode, we explore how Old School karate evolved through the practical experimentation of masters who adapted techniques, shared knowledge across dojos, and prioritised the real-world effectiveness of martial arts. We contrast this with Traditional Japanese karate, established in the 1930s, which focuses on preserving lineage, strict structure, and loyalty to one style, one sensei.

Jon stands as our Chief Instructor, holding a 4th Dan in Shukokai Karate & Kickboxing alongside a Purple Belt in Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Jon's initial foray into karate as a child was short-lived, a youthful experience cut short by a few too many reprimands! However, the spark was ignited, and in his early twenties, he returned to the martial arts alongside the same friend he used to get in trouble with, joining a local dojo in Caernafon. Driven by a desire to build his own confidence, and inspired by a friend at another club in the network, Jon quickly immersed himself in training, often spending multiple hours honing his skills most nights. Though his initial training partner moved on, Jon's dedication only intensified and he continues his own personal training to this day.

Shifting the Mindset: How I Snapped Out of a Rough Patch. We all have rough weeks—those times when events stack up against us, making it hard to stay positive. This past week, I found myself weighed down by frustration and negativity. But then I had a realization: anger blinds us. It stops us from seeing solutions, keeps us trapped in the past, and drains our energy. In this episode, I share my journey of snapping out of that mindset, the key insights that helped me regain clarity, and practical strategies to shift from frustration to forward momentum. If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of negativity, this one's for you. Let's talk about how to break free, find peace, and move forward with a fresh perspective.
