Garry Lever is a Goju Ryu practitioner and founder of The Karate Collective. He is viewed as a controversial figure in Okinawan Karate due to his outspokenness and refusal to accept dogma.

“Martial Arts is a people building device, it teaches you how to live in a chaotic world and be happy. If we make the best of our lives by doing our best in life, we can create the life that we want. And that's really what life is about, being kind, courteous, respect, and respect for yourself. Do things that make you feel good and help people to be kind.” – Ron Van CliefMy guest this episode is Ron Van Clief, The Black Dragon. Mr. Van Clief is a multi-style Martial Arts Pioneer, a decorated Marine Corps and Vietnam Veteran, and an actor in Hollywood and Hong Kong Films. He has competed in over 900 tournaments, a 5-time world Karate/Kung Fu Champion and a 15 time All American Champion. At the age of 51 he competed in UFC 4 against at that time the Undefeated Royce Gracie. In 2023 at the age of 80 he received his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt and is actively competing in BJJ Competitions. He is the 2002 Black Belt Magazine Instructor of the Year and has taught over 200,000 students over his career. His extensive experience in Martial Arts covers Goju Ryu Karate, Wing Tsun, Modern Arnis, and BJJ. This episode was all about the love of martial arts and how to stay young in the body, mind, and spirit. We dive deep into Mr. Van Clief's story, starting from his early beginnings with Grand Master Moses Powell, to his Military Service, to his Hong Kong Films, to his UFC Fight against Royce Gracie, to his current quest of earning a BJJ Black Belt. His story is one of great inspiration and mental fortitude. We discuss his bouts with Racism and PTSD, he was lynched in the 1960's and his Helicopter was shot down in Vietnam. My Key Take away is that martial arts can be used as a vehicle to heal from unimaginable traumatic experiences and live a life filled with great joy, happiness, and kindness. We will all be faced with challenges, how we face these challenges is what will determine the quality of our lives. We have to be strong enough to forgive and make the best of our lives by doing the best in our lives. Life is really about respect, for yourself and for others. The ultimate purpose of martial arts is to be kind, courteous, and help others by first helping ourselves. We also dive deep into his training experience in many different styles, and his realization that no one style has it all, and that through extensive research and study we get to the point of finding our own unique style. This is a special martial arts lifestyle episode that will inspire you to train and redefine your concept of aging and what is possible.

Mr. Kris Wilder is a Martial Arts practitioner, instructor, and author from Seattle. My job (as a teacher) is to, as quickly as possible, come to some conclusion of what I believe the student's goals would be and then to feed that.

We are back again with another amazing content-filled episode on The Fit Geek Show with the legend himself, Shihan Pervez Mistry. Shihan Mistry will be talks about resistance training incorporated within Goju Ryu Karate Do through traditional methods. Again, this talk is for anyone who wants to learn about Martial Arts, Fitness, some anatomy and overall, lots of wisdom
Giga Chikadze started off as a Goju-Ryu Karate fighter at the age of 14 in Eastern Europe, making his professional kickboxing debut, now Chikadze has transitioned to Mixed Martial Arts and holds a 10-2 record. On Saturday, October 10, 2020, Chikadze will be facing Venezuelan striker, Omar Morales, a 10-0 fighter in the Lightweight, 155 lb. weight division. We spoke to Chikadze about his upcoming fight, how kata is still useful in his martial arts training and how he sees this fight against Morales going. Hit, it's probably going to be a lot of stand up with a transition to the ground as Chikadze has developed his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills quite well in the last couple of years. At 6'0", Chikadze is a larger fighter for his usual weight classes of Featherweight (145 lbs) and Lightweight, but has been making weight throughout the years as, like most Eastern European fighters, discipline is a part of not only training but life. Chikadze's own son has begun training in wrestling and puts on some gloves to hit the bag at and he's barely old enough to go to school. His daughter is now acting and modeling in ads, so you know the Chikaze family is talented in not only combat sports but the arts as well. His opponent, Omar Morales last fought on May 13, 2020, almost 5 months to the day and defeating Gabriel Beniftez by unanimous decision. Chikadze was supposed to fight on August 29, 2020, against Alex Caceres, but that fight was cancelled. His prior fight was on May 16, 2020 against Irwin Rivera, who he beat by unanimous decision as well. Follow Giga Chikadze on Twitter @giga_chikadze and on Instagram @knockoutcancer. UFC 179 will be streaming on ESPN+

El programa de hoy, se lo voy a dedicar al oyente Sebastián Uribe, que me ha pedido a través del programa 77 donde hablaba de Mass Oyama, a ver si podía realizar un programa sobre la historia de Jigoro Kano y sobre Chojun Miyagi. El programa sobre Jigoro Kano ya lo hice en el podcast 58, así que hoy vamos a hablar sobre Chojun Miyagi, que no es el Miyagi de Karate Kid, sino el Maestro en el que se basó el guionista para ponerle nombre al personaje. Como véis, os escucho y procuro hacer lo que me pedís, así que darme temáticas sobre las que queráis que hablemos, Maestros a los que entrevistar, estilos marciales, etc… y me pondré en acción.

Ola Ahlvarsson is a really really interesting guy (Personal site | Wikipedia). He's founded more than 20 businesses, worked with many of the world's biggest brands that you know of (like McDonalds, Google, Microsoft, Merck, Procter & Gamble, Twitter, IBM.... etc) He's also an avid martial artist, with a Black Belt in Karate, and he's become the European champion in Goju Ryu Karate, the Swedish champion in Kung Fu and in Taekwondo, and the world champion in WAKO kickboxing. Two notable businesses that Ola runs are "Star Stable", the world's largest online Horse game - with more than 6 million users, and "Epicenter", which is Sweden's biggest scale-up incubator. Here are a few tidbits of what you’ll learn from the conversation with Ola: What Ola would do if he were the Benevolent Dictator of the world How to look at the world through multiple dimensions, or lenses, to see things from different perspectives How Ola got Swindled by his Miami employee and how a team of Indians made off with his money The difference between a scale-up and a startup (and why it’s easier to become a rap star than create a successful scale-up company in Sweden.) And many, many more things. Here are some books mentioned: Only the Paranoid Survive, Mission Possible, The Nordic Secret, Homo Deus, Nazi Diaries, Robert Kegan’s The Evolving Self. ========== Subscribe to Future Skills on: iTunes | Android | Stitcher | Spotify Join our newsletter for episode summaries and monthly Q&As: www.futureskillspodcast.com Apply for the Future Skills Program
