SUMMARY In this episode, Jeremy Lesniak and Andrew Adams discuss the reasons why many martial artists quit training just before they achieve significant progress. They explore the emotional and psychological factors that contribute to this phenomenon, including the excitement factor in training, the impact of instant gratification, and the pressure of expectations. The conversation emphasizes the importance of focusing on effort over results, the role of instructors in fostering a supportive environment, and the need for students to take ownership of their growth. The episode concludes with thoughts on self-reporting progress and the importance of continuous learning beyond the black belt.   TAKEAWAYS Many martial artists quit right before achieving their goals. Training can lose excitement, leading to disengagement. Instant gratification affects long-term commitment in martial arts. Effort should be praised over results to encourage persistence. Instructors must model vulnerability and accept mistakes. The black belt is often seen as the end goal, leading to dropout. Students need to feel empowered to track their own progress. Self-reporting can help students recognize their growth. Creating a safe learning environment is crucial for retention. Continuous learning should be emphasized beyond the black belt.   Join our EXCLUSIVE newsletter to get notified of each episode as it comes out! Subscribe — whistlekick Martial Arts Radio

"Scorpio Full Moon: On the Verge of Tears or Rage" conversation with Embodied Astrology Martial Artist Kendra Smith   You don't want to miss this convo!  On this Scorpio Full Moon episode of Cosmic Cousins, we are joined in conversation with Kendra Smith, a Scorpio kickboxer, stuntwoman, celebrity trainer, former WWE pro-wrestler, and founder of Forge Studio in Los Angeles. With over 16 years of training under 8-time World Champion Peter “Sugarfoot” Cunningham, her work bridges performance, athleticism, and empowerment. Kendra and I first met through Heidi Rose Robbins' astrology retreats, where we've both shown up as participants and co-facilitators—sharing a devotion and love of embodied, heart-centered practice.    Kendra shares her groundbreaking new offering, Lunar League—a fusion of astrology and martial arts that invites participants to embody their astrology through movement. Pairing each zodiac sign with a martial art (Kendra's Big 3:  Scorpio (Ninjutsu), Leo (Muay Thai), and Libra (Wing Chun), Kendra's work transforms astrology into a somatic, lived experience. Together, we explore how movement becomes a portal for emotional release, resilience, and personal myth-making, especially in times of intensity and change. Then we close our conversation, with me guiding Kendra through a intuitive stream-of-consciousness journey into the realm of Scorpio.  We receive a visit from a dolphin, Scorpio Bob Ross, and the Page of Cups from Lindsay Mack's new tarot deck, Soul Tarot.   New Offering – Sedna Workshop Download Sedna Workshop Download — The Ocean Beyond Betrayal is a deep, immersive offering exploring Sedna as both a distant trans-Neptunian body and a sea goddess whose mythology speaks to betrayal, survival, and profound transformation.

You'll receive a 90-minute audio transmission, a rich PDF with tarot spreads, reflection prompts, and chart examples, along with somatic practices, ritual guidance, altar creation, and a curated mixtape to embody Sedna's emotional landscape. Timed with Sedna's recent movement into Gemini—alongside Uranus and the Pleiades—this offering explores a collective moment where silenced stories rise and communication becomes a site of healing. With care and awareness, we also honor Sedna's Indigenous origins, reflecting on what it means to engage her story respectfully within modern astrology, and how her archetype speaks to themes of colonozation. Now open for enrollment on the Scorpio Full Moon (May 1, 2026) and delivered on the Taurus New Moon (May 16, 2026), this is a body of work designed to support you in navigating transformation, truth, and embodied wisdom for years to come.

This is the Shaolin perspective: we know that if we only look at that all of the time that we might become an extremely aggressive person that doesn't understand how to use it properly, that's why there needs to be a balance in the training as well.” –Paula LazarzSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show with the general banter, they cover; attending STIHL's 100 year anniversary celebration (meeting Dr Stihl himself!), Brian does the grocery shopping for the first time in 5 years and steals a trolly, plus all the major topics making AFL headlines. This week on Life of Brian, BT and Harrison have the pleasure of chatting with former world champion martial artist, Sam Greco. With a career spanning 35 years Sam had an astonishing record of 147 fights - 131 wins - 11 loses - 3 draws - 2 no contest. This reflects the numerous disciplines he competed in: K1 Kickboxing, Full Contact Karate and MMA. He was a 3x World Kickboxing Champion and a World Full Contact Karatê Champion. Sam grew up in Melbourne's inner-North. To escape the dangers of this rough environment, he found balance, discipline and purpose in the gym. With an unmatched mental fortitude and an imposing 6'3" muscle bound frame, he could knock out opponents with sheer brute force. From his rise through the fight game to becoming one of world's most respected combat sports figures, Sam opens up on the highs, the setbacks, and what it really takes to make it at the elite level. They also dive into the current state of UFC and MMA, Sam's role coaching the next generation, and what's changed in the fight game over the years. BT and Sam also rewind to where their friendship began - over coffees at Sam's iconic café, Don Camillo's. Raw, honest, and full of energy - this is one you don't want to miss. We hope you enjoy the conversation. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chat BT:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Voice messages  Hosts: Brian & Harrison Taylor Guest: Sam Greco Produced by Harrison Taylor Audio & Video by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rhino Productions⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Get in touch with us or see more: Mailbag - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lobmailbag@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Enquiries - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠harrison@ncmanagement.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lifeofbrianpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tiktok - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lifeofbrianpodcast⁠⁠

Most martial artists train movements, but very few train positioning. And almost no one trains what those positions mean outside the dojo. In this episode, we revisit a classical kata that many believe they understand – but the physical choreography isn't the real lesson. The deeper principle isn't about reacting to every possible attack. It's […]

SUMMARY In this episode, Andrew Adams and Jeremy Lesniak explore the perception of martial artists as societal outcasts. They discuss the unique aspects of martial arts training that can be seen as strange by outsiders, the sense of community and belonging that practitioners find within their training, and the evolving perception of martial arts in society. The conversation emphasizes the importance of individuality and self-expression in martial arts, and how being an outcast can be empowering rather than negative.   TAKEAWAYS Martial arts can be perceived as strange by outsiders. Many martial artists embrace their identity despite societal norms. The commitment to martial arts often leads to a sense of community among practitioners. Injuries and physicality in martial arts can create a unique bond among practitioners. The perception of martial arts has evolved over time, becoming more mainstream. Soft skills are increasingly valued in martial arts training. Martial artists often feel a sense of belonging within their training community. The concept of being an outcast can be empowering for martial artists. Martial arts training can provide a sense of identity and purpose. Criticism from others often stems from their own insecurities.   Join our EXCLUSIVE newsletter to get notified of each episode as it comes out! Subscribe — whistlekick Martial Arts Radio

Uncovering the deep connection between Buddhism and Martial Arts, Damiano Seiryū Finizio joins Vincent Moore to explore what it truly means to face our most powerful opponent: the mind.This conversation was originally recorded on Paths of Practice Podcast.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.This time on the BHNN Guest Podcast, Damiano and Vincent discuss:What initially brought Damiano to Buddhism after growing up in Italy, a predominantly Catholic countryHow Buddhism can be harmonious with martial arts Working on self-development and mutual growth rather than sparring Maintaining perfect mental presence during times of physical discomfort Following the Buddhist precepts and adopting a vegan diet for the principal of no-harmMountains as natural energy centersDamiano's global work and exposure to unique cultures in Vietnam, Cambodia, The Canary Islands, and moreBringing the message of peace, awareness, and compassion into the westDamiano's advice for beginners walking the Buddhist pathAbout Damiano Seiryū Finizio:Damiano Finizio was born in Italy in 1992. He began practicing traditional Japanese martial arts in 2012, where he met the Buddhist monk Seiun, who transformed his curiosity for Eastern disciplines and philosophies into dedicated practice. In 2014, he officially took refuge in the Dharma at Tenryuzanji Temple, receiving the name Seiryu, symbolizing his deep bond with his teacher and the temple. Since 2020, he has been living and working in Spain as a hostel owner, while also working seasonally in Italy and Croatia as a trip leader during the warmer months. Despite his commitments, he remains an active member of the Tenryuzanji community and continues to participate in its activities whenever possible.For more information about Tenryuzanji Temple, please click HERE. To keep up with Damiano, visit his Instagram.“The advice is don't do it yourself. It's very likely to happen that you're trying to tame your mind, but if you don't know how to do it, most likely your mind will tame you and make you feel like you're moving forward, but you're just looking for comfort. This is why a teacher is important.“ –Damiano Seiryū FinizioAbout Vincent Moore:Vincent Moore is a creative and creative consultant living in San Francisco, California, with over a decade of experience in the entertainment industry and holds a graduate degree in Buddhist Studies.

His first published novel was Traitor's Blade in 2014. Since then he has published the Greatcoats Quartet, the Spellslinger YA fantasy series, The Malevolent Seven and his latest Play of Shadows. He also has eight more books under contract, so there are plenty more to come! Sebastien has written some of my favourite sword fights in all of literature, so when I decided to update my book, Swordfighting for Writers, Game Designers and Martial Artists, it was a no-brainer to talk to Sebastien about how he approaches writing action scenes in his books. We talk about more than just sword fights, and this conversation will be fascinating to any writer or anyone thinking about writing their first novel. It's not just a chat for novellists. As you'd expect on The Sword Guy Podcast, we do talk about weapons, like a pistol within a rapier, and other strange and unusual weapons that never quite caught on.

Show Featured Sponsor: High Risk Environment Course  In this wide-ranging episode of the American Warrior Show, Rich Brown is joined by Cecil Burch—Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and expert in weaponized ground grappling. Together they explore not only the realities of surviving on the ground in a weapons-based environment, but also the bigger picture threats shaping our world today. Topics include: The principles of ground survival when weapons are in play Why assassinations like that of Charlie Kirk shock and destabilize a nation What the recent train attack reveals about vulnerabilities in our infrastructure How individuals can prepare mentally, physically, and tactically for turbulent times This conversation bridges the gap between technical skill on the mat and the broader issues of violence, resilience, and national security that every protector must understand. Whether you're a martial artist, armed citizen, or tactical professional, this conversation will reshape how you think about fighting where most don't want to be—the ground. Cecil Burch began training in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in 1989 and is currently a 3rd degree black belt. Cecil Burch has been a Martial Artist and Shooter for over forty years. He has studied many different arts and has held numerous teaching credentials in several of them. Cecil has travels extensively conducting seminars across the U.S. as well as internationally. He has been a featured presenter at many tactical/defense-oriented conferences and has worked extensively with Law Enforcement officers, Federal Air Marshals, military special operation troops, and private citizens.

MARTIAL ARTS, CHINATOWN & BEYOND Smithsonian Institute Exhibition How do Martial Arts get into the Smithsonian Institute? Why is Washington DC pivotal? What happened in 60s and 70s Washington? Why was Chinatown important? How is it changing? How do you get martial into the arts? Andrew Staton talks to Dr Sojin Kim, Guest Curator, Sifu Terence Nicholson, Martial Artist & Artist, Harry Lee Chow grew up in DC's Chinatown in the 1970s and 1980s, and martial arts played a major role in his life. He loaned his unique collection of 60s, 70s & 80s martial arts memorabilia to the exhibition. Check out the impressive Sightlines exhibition on view at the Smithsonian American Art Museum through November 30, 2025. Sightlines: Chinatown and Beyond is organized and presented by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center An important part of the exhibition examines Asian martial arts as vehicles for self-expression and community building. Several schools and styles of martial arts flourished in Washington during the '70s, resulting in the formation of a racially and ethnically diverse lineage of practitioners that continues today. Clothing, badges, trophies, photographs, and artwork that chart the fascinating rise, spread, and impact of martial arts in the city and beyond are highlighted in this section. It also tells the story of Simba Dojang, a tae kwon do school whose successes earned it the accolade of "the winningest team." “Transforming Tradition” examines Asian martial arts as vehicles for self-expression and community building. Several schools and styles of martial arts flourished in Washington during the '70s, resulting in the formation of a racially and ethnically diverse lineage of practitioners that continues today. The exhibition includes Terence Nicholson's sculpture, Safety Jacket: A Mourning in Chinatown. A 19th-generation disciple of the Wudang Longmen (Dragon Gate) lineage, Nicholson created this with the Kung Fu sashes recovered after the closing of his teacher's school in Chinatown. Terence Nicholson, a lifelong resident of Anacostia and a proud Washingtonian, is a distinguished artist and art educator. A graduate of the Corcoran School of Art, Nicholson received the Rosenbaum Memorial Scholarship Award and has participated in three East of the River Art Exhibitions. His solo show, Intro-Circumspective at the Willow Street Gallery in D.C., earned critical acclaim.

SUMMARY In this engaging conversation, Stephen Watson, Nick Tabor, and Andrew discuss the intersection of meditation and martial arts. They explore personal experiences with meditation, the importance of mindfulness in training, and how to integrate meditation practices into martial arts classes. The discussion highlights the value of stillness and reflection, the evolution of meditation practices, and the need to preserve the essence of meditation in a fast-paced world. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the significance of meditation and mindfulness, particularly in the context of martial arts and teaching. They discuss the challenges of maintaining presence in communication, the importance of having a clear mind, and the gradual process of developing a meditation practice. The conversation emphasizes the benefits of meditation for self-discovery and personal growth, while also addressing the dual nature of meditation as both a healing and a challenging practice. The speakers encourage starting small and being intentional in integrating meditation into martial arts training. TAKEAWAYS Meditation can enhance martial arts training. Meditation is not exclusive to martial artists. The value of meditation is often underappreciated in martial arts. Personal experiences shape our understanding of meditation. Meditation practices can evolve over time. Emptiness and stillness are crucial in meditation. Mindfulness can be integrated into everyday actions. Intentionality is key in meditation practices. A clear mind is essential for effective responses in martial arts. Meditation requires guidance and practice to master. Finding the right time for meditation can enhance its effectiveness. Meditation benefits martial artists by promoting self-awareness. Meditation is a journey of self-discovery and understanding. The dual nature of meditation involves both healing and challenge. Success in meditation is a gradual process, not instant. Starting small is key to developing a sustainable meditation practice.
