The Team Creek Tribe's Podcast

An interview with our longest term student (outside of my own family), Charlie Goldmacher.

An interview with 2nd degree Black Belt, Ali Kazaneh 

In this episode, most of the adult class stuck around for our first Powwow or open discussion.  The idea was sparked earlier in the day to see if the group would be interested in recording a discussion about various topics.In this first edition of our Powwow, I decided not to have a specific topic we would discuss but to just to start talking and see where it leads us.I think this structure was a good episode but future Powwows will be more focused on specific topics.  Our adult team is a pretty tight community and it was cool to "chew the fat" with them in this episode.

Liz shares some of the story of her 6 year martial arts journey that started when she was 44 years old.

Today's episode is a sit down with "B", Brian Keyes, an adult student who is currently a high red belt in our program.  Brian's wife, Beverly, just achieved her 1st degree Black Belt back in November of 2019. They also have a son, Brody, who is a brown belt in the program.  What made him decide to do martial arts?  What keeps him going even though there are many struggles he is overcoming?  Download this episode and take a listen.

In this episode, adult student Anthony Lauria (orange belt) discusses how training with his daughter (green belt) in our program has improved their lives.  Anthony's journey with martial arts has not been one without obstacles and setbacks but you'll hear how he was able to overcome various challenges and be able to get back to training even after close to 7 months of being sidelined due to a shoulder surgery.

In this episode, we take some time to talk with Cesar and Katerina (husband and wife).  They are both 1st degree Black Belts with us and have 2 children in the program as well.  Vanessa has earned her 2nd degree Black Belt with us and Sebastian is now an orange belt in the juniors class. We discuss injury setbacks and the competitive mindset. Thanks for listening!

Hello Team Creek Tribe! Renshi and I had another great conversation today about the pros and cons of competition.  Join us for about a half hour of discussion as we start off reviewing our 1st principle of Black Belt and segue into a little back and forth about our feelings toward competition and our In-House Tournament specifically. 

Welcome back to the another episode of the Team Creek Tribe Podcast!  Renshi and I have a deeper discussion on the topic of students wanting to quit. We hope you'll listen to it all; even if you break it down into a few listening sessions.  We think there's some great content in this one!  If you would like to request a topic for us to discuss on a future episode, please email us at shihan@teamcreek.com 

This week's 'Weekly Wisdom' reminds us the importance of Desire, Discipline & Dedication.  We also review the upcoming events in September.

We have new music and a new format for episode 5.  We welcome 'Renshi' Molly Scaccia to the podcast so we can have a little back and forth about the schedule change that goes into effect on Monday, September 9, 2019.  The changes really only affect Mondays and Tuesdays but they should be understood to get the most out of your training.
