It's Matt Serra's 51st birthday — and what better way to celebrate than with a few surprise guests? Matt correctly guesses Din Thomas as part one of his birthday surprise — but it's the unexpected call from bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili that really makes his day. Merab joins ahead of his highly anticipated rematch against Sean O'Malley at UFC 316 in Newark. Din sticks around to co-host with Jim and Matt, as the guys share plenty of laughs before welcoming welterweight Ramiz Brahimaj. Fresh off a 1st-round submission win, Brahimaj opens up about his mindset heading into the fight and what's next for him in the division. Later, the crew breaks down the highlights from last weekend's card and weighs in on how Erin Blanchfield's scratched bout with Maycee Barber could affect the title picture for Valentina Shevchenko.

Master Macy sits down with Miss Chrissy, Miss Dana, and Miss Alison—Ripple Effect staff members and moms of black belt students—to talk parenting, perseverance, and the power of martial arts. Through personal stories of discipline, failure, growth, and grit, they reveal how training side-by-side with their kids shaped not just strong martial artists, but stronger families.

On tonight's episode of Long Road to Ruin, Mark Radulich, Pat Mullin and Sean Comer crane kick their way through The Karate Kid Trilogy. We chart the evolution of Daniel LaRusso's journey from underdog in the original 1984 classic to his increasingly strained arcs in Parts II and III. The first film captured lightning in a bottle with a perfect mix of heart, mentorship, and underdog triumph. Part II expanded the scope with an Okinawa-set story that deepened Mr. Miyagi's character but lost some of the first film's spark. By Part III, the charm was wearing thin, the stakes felt forced, and Daniel-san's journey hit a wall of diminishing returns. Join us as we wax on and off about what made this trilogy iconic—and where it started to fall apart.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Send us a textWhat if your body processes 40 billion bits of information every second, but your conscious mind can only access 2,000 bits? That's like having $40 billion in your awareness bank account but only being able to spend $2,000. This eye-opening conversation with Mas Mike Zeleznick, founder of VibraVision, reveals how to access vastly more of your untapped potential through a revolutionary approach to awakening your sixth sense.After spending years collecting black belts across 23 different martial arts disciplines, Mas Mike discovered something extraordinary - an ancient Indonesian martial art that had been guarded by the royal family of Java for 11 generations. What makes this system revolutionary isn't just its 450-year history, but how it allows ordinary people to develop seemingly superhuman abilities in days rather than decades.The transformation began when Mas Mike witnessed blind practitioners who could navigate independently, effectively "seeing" without using their eyes. One man who had been dependent on his mother for 30 years gained complete freedom - riding bicycles through crowds, starting a business, and living independently. These experiences led Maz to adapt this ancient practice for the modern Western world, creating a system that bridges science and spirituality.What sets VibraVision apart is its efficiency and scientific validation. Dr. Jeffrey Fannin, a prominent neuroscientist who worked with Dr. Joe Dispenza for eight years, was astonished by the unprecedented brain activity patterns he observed in practitioners. Through specific breathing exercises and meditative practices, VibraVision essentially turns your body into an electrical generator, amplifying your natural intuitive abilities to levels that might otherwise take decades of isolated practice to achieve.Whether you're skeptical or spiritually-inclined, the beauty of this approach lies in its accessibility - a simple five-minute daily practice produces tangible results that can be felt immediately. As Mas Mike says, "Your superpowers really show up when it's not about you," reminding us that our greatest abilities emerge when we act from service rather than ego.Ready to explore your hidden potential? Try the free introductory energy exercise at vibravision.com or masmike.com and feel for yourself what might be possible when you tap into the extraordinary abilities that have been within you all along.

What if the path to peace isn't avoiding hardship, but embracing it? In this episode, we explore what it means to “love the mat”—to welcome the falls, failures, and discomforts that come with a life of faith and growth. Drawing from scripture and insights from psychologist Reid Wilson, we see that real strength is formed not in comfort, but in repeated encounters with challenge. Jesus never promised we wouldn't hit the mat—He promised we wouldn't be alone. When we stop fearing failure and start trusting His presence in the middle of it, we begin to live with an untroubled heart.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Send us a textEpisode 552"Cobra Kai" and "The Karate Kid Part 3" | Actor: William Christopher Ford | (Dennis de Guzman)William Christopher Ford aka Christopher Paul Ford played strong but silent Cobra Kai bad boy, "Dennis", in "The Karate Kid Part III". He was made aware of an open casting call for "KKIII" for the part of "Mike Barnes" from a good friend and stood in line with hundreds of other young hopefuls. Director, John Avildsen came out with a camera man and started going down the line to take a look at all the talent and stopped to talk to a fortunate few including Ford who gave the director his headshot. About a week later, he got a call from Casting Director, Caro Jones, who called him into read for the part of "Barnes". About a month later he got a call from Jones telling him that the part of "Mike Barnes" had been cast but they wanted him to come down to the set because they needed an actor/stunt person/martial artist to play one of the supporting "bad boys". So Ford met with Stunt Coordinator Pat Johnson and Director John Avildsen the next day and was cast as "Dennis". At this writing, Ford is a 5th degree black belt in Okinawan Shorin Ryu Karate and studied directly with Sensei Richard Rabago and with Master Tadashi Yamashita. He has also studied Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Kick-boxing. He began studying Martial Arts in 1974 at the age of seven. Ford left the Entertainment Industry for many years to help raise his two kids but returned in 2006, and at this time he also changed his professional name to William Christopher Ford to honor his father who passed away in 2005. He has also worked as Chris Ford, William Ford and "WC" Ford.William was inducted into the Masters' Hall of Fame on Aug. 11th, 2012 and was awarded the Lifetime Achievement in recognition of his commitment and contribution to the martial arts. He dedicated the acceptance of this award to his late martial arts mentor, Sensei Richard Rabago, who had suggested Ford for the award before his passing in May, 2012.Welcome, William Christopher Fordwww.mmcpodcast.com#cobrakai #thekaratekid #karatekid #terrysilver #johnkreese #daniellarusso #cobrakaiedits #cobrakaiseason6 #karatekid3 #karatekidmovie #karatekidlegends #blackbelt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mondaymorningcritic/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mondaymorningcritic/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mondaymorningcriticMondaymorningcritic@gmail.com

Dr. David K. Bernard addresses a question frequently raised by Christians navigating modern culture: Is it acceptable for believers to practice yoga or participate in martial arts?Yoga and many martial arts have historical roots in Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Yoga originates from Hindu spiritual practices, while martial arts like kung fu, Muay Thai, and aikido are deeply tied to various non-Christian philosophies.Dr. Bernard explores whether involvement in these practices is compatible with Christian faith and lifestyle. He offers biblical insight, historical context, and practical guidance for believers seeking to honor God in every area of life.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by two familiar friends of the show: lightweight Jared Gordon and women's bantamweight champion Julianna Peña. Fresh off a decisive first-round stoppage win, Jared breaks down the finish and reflects on how his recovery journey has strengthened his mindset inside the cage. After revealing he's now a proud girl dad to a 4-month-old daughter, Jared gets a laugh out of Matt's hilarious (and slightly scathing) story about a young YouTuber who kicked off their interview by asking Matt what it's like to be the same height as a kid — prompting Matt to jokingly offer up his daughter for a grappling match with the young content creator. Shortly after, Jim and Matt's interview with Julianna Peña kicks off with some sparks, as she joins mid-sentence — just as the guys are in the middle of complimenting her, saying she's not getting the respect she deserves ahead of UFC 316. Once they clear up the misunderstanding, the conversation shifts into an engaging breakdown of her matchup with Kayla Harrison. Julianna talks about being an underdog throughout her career, staying focused through the noise, and how she's preparing for Kayla's unique skill set. Plus, she weighs in on the looming possibility of a high-stakes trilogy with Amanda Nunes.

What could you achieve if you let go of all excuses and limiting beliefs? In this deeply motivational episode, Nicole Jansen welcomes Lawrence “Stoney” Stone—a remarkable martial arts grandmaster, published author, stunt coordinator, rock band singer, and cancer survivor whose life story is anything but ordinary. Born with congenital hip problem, later with CMT (Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy) a degenerative nerve disease, Stoney has faced significant physical challenges since birth, yet has refused to let them define or limit him. From building future champions in his dojo to serving as an executive protection consultant, Stoney's impact ripples across countless lives and disciplines. Join us as Stoney opens up about the powerful lessons learned from his “spanking grandma,” and his real-life journey of overcoming adversity with purpose, faith, and fierce love. He shares how mentorship, tough love, a sense of responsibility, and unwavering honesty have fueled his legacy—prompting us all to step up, stop making excuses, and love with conviction. Whether you're searching for inspiration, seeking actionable leadership insights, or grappling with challenges of your own, this conversation will leave you empowered and ready to tackle whatever comes next. What We Discuss in This Episode How did Stoney overcome significant physical limitations to become a martial arts grandmaster and mentor to champions? What role did family and “tough love” play in shaping his unstoppable mindset? How do you guide others—especially young people—out of victimhood and toward responsibility and growth? What does it mean to “not own” your challenges or diagnoses? How can leaders and mentors balance empathy with calling others to greatness? Why is authenticity and emotional expression crucial for true leadership? What does it look like to surrender to purpose and let go of micromanaging your life's plan? How do faith and spirituality underpin resilience and transformation? What lasting advice does Stoney offer for living a meaningful, impactful life? 10 Key Takeaways Lead by Example: Young people and mentees learn most from who you are and what you do—not just what you say or teach. Tough Love Builds Resilience: Support combined with high expectations (“spanking grandma”) pushes us to unprecedented growth. Refuse to “Own” Limitations: Don't take on negative identities around illness or labels—claim victory and move forward. Surround Yourself with Greatness: Your environment and your circle shape your possibilities and determination. Your Challenges Are Your Strength: Facing adversity builds the grit and wisdom necessary to help others. Balance Compassion and Accountability: True mentors love fiercely AND hold people to a higher standard. Embrace Vulnerability: Emotional honesty and caring openly are strengths, not weaknesses, for leaders. Purpose Over Perfection: Focus on finding and fulfilling your unique design rather than achieving flawlessness. Take Responsibility: We must model and teach personal responsibility; excuses perpetuate victimhood and stagnation. Keep Growing and Giving: Growth is a lifelong journey—keep learning, serving, and evolving no matter your stage or circumstances. Favorite Quotes "I've never really relied on or counted on being different. I've never been afraid to stand in front of people and tell them I care. And that makes a difference." — Lawrence Stone "Because I didn't know I was different, because I didn't accept that—I'm just me. I love me. I love what I do. I love who I am, where I am, and why I am." — Lawrence Stone "If I don't believe in me, how can I expect someone else to believe in me? You have to believe in yourself first, no matter what the world says." — Lawrence Stone This episode is a rich tapestry of wisdom, humor, and heart. Tune in—and rediscover what's possible when you stop making excuses and start living your purpose.

Jim and Matt are joined by two fighters slated for action at this Saturday's UFC APEX card. They kick off the show reacting to the just-announced, stacked UFC 317 lineup. Next, Cuban featherweight Yadier Del Valle drops in to share how watching old UFC VHS tapes in Cuba inspired his martial arts journey. He talks about earning his UFC shot on Dana White's Contender Series and previews his debut matchup against Connor Matthews. Later, featherweight veteran Julian Erosa joins the show to explain why he took a quick turnaround just 35 days after his most recent first-round finish. Now in his third UFC stint, Erosa reflects on his mindset shift and prepares for a showdown with Melquizael Costa—a clash of fighters riding three-fight win streaks. Finally, Jim and Matt close out the episode with their picks for Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Burns vs. Morales.

With UFC 315 in the books, Jim Norton is joined by by guest co-host Ben “The Bane” Davis for an episode of UFC Unfiltered that invites Aiemann Zahabi and Reinier de Ridder on as guest callers. Up first is Zahabi — who calls in just days removed from his impressive unanimous decision win over legend Jose Aldo in Montreal. Aiemann shares how the last-minute weight change affected his mindset, what it meant to perform in front of Canadian fans, and how guidance from GSP has shaped him into the surging fighter he is today riding a six-fight win streak. Jim and Ben dish out some more takeaways from UFC 315 before bringing Reinier de Ridder on for a chat. The Dutch middleweight discusses the role of punishing body work in his statement win over Bo Nickal before explaining why he's confident heading into his next fight — a quick turnaround against Robert Whittaker in July's main event in Abu Dhabi.
