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.

Roar of the Tigress: The Real Self-Defence "For Women Only" by Danny Gee GojuThis book highlights certain basic rules in life; which if you do not follow, will always end you up on the losing end. You will have to use your common sense and imagination to adapt what I teach to suit yourself; so that you are never in a position whereby you will be attacked, used and abused. Most women are attacked because they either leave their guard open or are unaware of the potential dangers; and this allows the attacker to succeed. A man attacking a woman goes against a fundamental rule laid down by nature; which says that because a female is a potential child-bearer, she is vital to the survival of the human race and therefore needs to be protected, respected and cherished. This rule is frequently abused because the modern woman is now much more than a child-bearer; and has become every much as competitive as the modern man. It is this conflict between the sexes that is the main cause of women not being treated with the respect they deserve.Born in Ireland and public school educated in the United Kingdom, Danny Gee Goju (real name Danny Gwira) is the Founder and Chief Instructor of survival systems African Goju and South American Goju; as well as the dance exercise Gojurobics, http://www.africangoju.com.  He is also a singer-songwriter and producer Danny Gee Goju, the originator of Goju Music.He has trained over 10000 students and has a proud legacy of a new generation of students ready and willing to take African Goju and South American Goju to the future.  He founded African Goju in 1985 and South American Goju in 1996.  A Founder Grandmaster with a 10th Degree Black Belt and a 10th Degree Red Belt, he prefers not to worry about belts because he has always believed one is only as good as the next workout.https://www.amazon.com/Roar-Tigress-Real-Self-Defence-Women/dp/B0BVCMMWXPhttps://christianworksmedia.com/https://africangoju.com/danny-gwirahttps://twitter.com/dannygeegojuhttps://www.facebook.com/gojurecords/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/92624chw1.mp3

Many are familiar with cybersecurity penetration testing – ethical hacking to uncover digital weaknesses. But what about the real-world threats to your company's physical security? How confident are you in your locks, cameras, and physical security measures to protect your sensitive data or equipment?In this episode, Robby speaks with Brian Harris, a leading expert in physical penetration testing as a part of Black Teaming. Black Teaming is a type of security assessment that simulates an attack on an organisation, including tactics such as physical intrusion and social engineering. Brian, Chief Instructor for the Covert Access Team, has conducted hundreds of these physical pen tests, helping organisations identify and fix vulnerabilities that could lead to corporate espionage and other threats. They provide real-world examples, discuss the limitations of common security measures, and touch on methods for improvement. These methods can include gamifying security by incentivizing employees to take an active role in physical security, for instance by keeping an eye on suspicious activity in the office.

"You should be so good that you don't hurt them." - Gus Bottazzi -------------------------------------------------------------------   In an enlightening episode of "Joseph Jaffe is Not Famous," Gus Bottazzi, a seasoned Krav Maga instructor, delves into the profound impact of this martial art on both personal empowerment and corporate culture. The conversation uncovered the depths of Krav Maga beyond mere self-defense, exploring its philosophical underpinnings and its relevance to everyday challenges and threats in modern corporate settings. Some of the key highlights from this episode include: Trust your instincts and act quickly in threatening situations rather than hesitating. Martial arts training can help develop self-control, responsibility, and situational awareness. Verbal judo techniques like empathy and humor can help de-escalate conflicts. Applying business skills like those learned in corporate America can help martial arts instructors succeed.  Having a clear motivator or "why" can help people stay committed to self-defense training long-term. -------------------------------------------------------------------   Here are the show notes:    Krav Maga with a 35-year martial arts veteran. (0:04) Self-defense techniques and the importance of acting quickly in dangerous situations. (10:09) Self-preservation, fear, and martial arts training. (14:26) Krav Maga, personal background, and interview techniques. (20:16) Krav Maga self-defense techniques and business strategies for martial arts instructors. (26:05) Self-defense, situational awareness, and endurance. (32:27) Krav Maga self-defense system and its unique approach to fighting. (40:10) Self-defense techniques and the importance of eye contact and verbal de-escalation. (47:11) Self-awareness, assumptions, and confidence in Krav Maga training. (54:23)   -------------------------------------------------------------------     "Remember there are no rules in Krav Maga.

Barry Gray (Baz) is a modern-day explorer and adventurer specialising in extreme cold climates. Barry is currently planning the Solo Unsupported and Unassisted crossing of the Antarctic continent from Coast to Coast in 2024, a journey still yet to be completed, if successful, this will be a world first. Barry was always an adventurous spirit growing up, very much the outdoor type. He enjoyed almost every type of sport and excelled in quite a few of them. His true-life adventure started as a 16-year-old when he applied to join the Royal Marine Commandos. Before he reached his eighteenth birthday, he had completed the world's toughest military basic training course and took his place amongst the UK's finest soldiers. The Royal Marines are the UK's specialists in Mountain and Cold Weather training. All Royal Marines go through this training but it's a unique and special group of marines that deliver the training, they are known as the Mountain Leader Branch. Barry applied for the gruelling and extremely challenging course in 1998 and was a fully trained Mountain Leader instructor 10 months later. Barry then went on to become the Chief Instructor of this very special group in 2007. Barry's career saw him deployed on Operational tours to Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. As a Royal Marine and Mountain Leader, he has travelled the globe including the Himalayas, Norway, European Alps, The Andes, USA, Oman, Brunei, and Antarctica to name but a few. Barry decided to leave the Royal Marines in December 2016 after 26 years, achieving the rank of Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM). Amongst his passions are polar history, especially the heroic age, and in 2013 he took part in the successful Shackleton Epic expedition in which he was part of the team that authentically re-enacted Shackleton's 1916 escape from Elephant Island and crossing of South Georgia. One of the most remarkable Survival stories ever told. The journey can be seen as a three-part documentary on Discovery Channel called “Shackleton Death or Glory” Barry also skied Solo and unsupported to the South Pole in 2018-19 covering 730 miles in only 38 days making him the third quickest person in history to do so. This was part one of a two part plan to be the first man to ski Solo and Unsupported, without any assistance, to cross the entire Antarctic continent from sea to sea via the South Pole. This attempt is planned for October 2023. Barry now runs a motivational leadership business which is another big passion; to help others through mindset and resilience become the best versions of themselves.

I'm running it back this week to one of your all-time favorite episodes from January, 2022 with the brilliant & talented Kate Lemere. Kate is a Chief Instructor and Founding Trainer at Barry's Chicago. She sat down with me for a proper smackdown of all things diet culture (and so much more).     We discuss:  How to get (and stay) informed from credible sources  Fitness questions she's asked the most (and her answers to all of 'em) How to approach finding a routine that works for you Why Bala Bangles are kinda stupid (!!!)   I also cover a listener q+a in this episode on the topic of Dry January– my thoughts on this phenomenon, what to know if you're considering trying it in 2024.
