Episode #13: What if standing your ground could transform your life? Join us on this electrifying episode of Positive Traction with Coach Henry as we welcome the legendary Dale Jacoby, a 12-time world champion in kickboxing, sport karate, and Muay Thai. Dale shares his incredible journey from financial struggles to becoming a martial arts icon and successful actor, with over 40 films to his name, including the cult classic "No Retreat, No Surrender." As the 35th-anniversary reunion of this iconic film approaches, Dale reflects on the peaks and valleys of his career and emphasizes the importance of always moving forward. In an unforgettable segment, we recount a tense night at Club Las Palmas in Hollywood, where a confrontation with an imposing figure tested the power of confident spoken words and unwavering eye contact. This story serves as a powerful lesson on the difference between confidence and arrogance, the value of humility, and the essence of true leadership. Coach Henry and Dale discuss the vital role of teaching others to be strong, confident leaders, sharing the values they instill in their children and students for living life without fear and standing up for oneself.   The episode takes a deeper look into the dynamics of dealing with bullies and the transformative power of martial arts. Dale's inspiring account of overcoming childhood bullying through martial arts illustrates the importance of resilience and mental fortitude. We also celebrate his induction into the Martial Arts History Museum and potential recognition by Netflix, underscoring a legacy built on integrity, loyalty, and perseverance. Whether you're a martial arts enthusiast or someone seeking personal growth, this episode offers invaluable insights into leading with humility and confidence, and the impact of standing your ground.   Timestamps: (06:47 - 08:06) Tenacity and Kindness (46:32 - 47:18) Netflix Approaches Artist After Museum Show (49:54 - 50:53) Coach Henry's Funny Brandon Rios Story

Having mastery over ourselves is crucial, and Michelle Manu, our guest today, is empowering women to embrace control. It's important to recognize that we possess more power than we often realize. Michelle is breaking down the stereotypes surrounding female warriors and remains steadfast in her convictions. The strength of our beliefs holds tremendous influence.  Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space for Controversy. On this episode of Better Call Daddy, Michelle Manu discusses the cultural practice of the warrior art, lua, and its historical biases towards Hawaiian women. Michelle is highly proficient in all weapons and aims to empower more people in practicing lua to keep the cultural practice alive. Michelle emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and the power of metaphysics to understand oneself. She believes in the power of thoughts and affirmations to manifest desires and emphasizes the need to shield oneself from negative energy and stimulating external factors. Michelle advocates for non-attachment and transparency in dealing with grief and attachment. Lastly, she expresses her journey and challenges in finding mentors for her cultural background. Michelle Manu is internationally known for her accomplishments as a 10th Degree Black Belt, Alihikaua(General), and Kumu Lua(teacher) of the indigenous Hawai'ian cultural practice and martial, the Lua (Kaihewalu and Manu lineages). Kumu Manu is currently the only high-ranking female teacher of this art and currently the only public representative of a Hawai'ian woman warrior in over 200 years. She is presently the only woman to be given the designation of “Knight Commander” of the Royal Order of Kamehameha I (O'ahu Chapter), for her continued work in protecting, promoting, and perpetuating the Hawai'ian culture through the Lua. Previously Kumu Manu toured the Midwest as a professional Polynesian Hula dancer and choreographer for ten years (1990-2000). Today she uses the Hula dance to teach Lua as she believes it is essential for timing, balance, placement, and micro-body movements during close-quarters combat. This is what Kumu Manu teaches at UCLA, and in her system – Nā Koa (The Warriors) and Pā Lua O Manu. She began working with Honolulu Community College in the Native Hawai'ian Program in 2022. Using the Lua and Hula, Kumu Manu teaches self-protection to people in high-risk environments such as pilots and flight attendants, real estate professionals, healthcare professionals, university students, adult entertainers, women experiencing domestic violence and homelessness, and everyday women. Kumu Manu's required system of study also includes ways of the ancient warrior: metaphysical science (Pohihihi), warrior massage (Lualomi or Lomilomi Koa), and wellness (Olakino) and conditioning (Ho'olā'au). Kumu Manu has been a legal professional for twenty-six years. She has earned a Juris Doctorate (JD), business credentials from George Washington University, business credentials from Harvard Business School and George Washington University, a master's degree in Metaphysical Science (MMsc), and is a 2023 candidate for a PhD in Philosophy with an emphasis in personal transformation. Kumu Manu has been featured in magazines such as: Black Belt Magazine, Hawaiian Airlines Hana Hou!, Martial Arts Xperience, Inside Kung Fu, Sports Illustrated, Martial Arts Masters Magazine, Seni Beladiri (Malaysia), Tae Kwon Do Times (Korea), USAdojo.com, KenpoGirl, Herstory, Martial Arts Illustrated UK, Warrior Magazin (Germany), Martial Journal, Immersion Labs, and El Camino The Way(Spain).

MICHELLE MANU BIO: Michelle Manu is a 10th Degree Black Belt combat artist and instructor of the ancient Hawaiian martial art, "Lua." She has been knighted by the Hawaiian Royal Order of King Kamehameha for her world-renowned accomplishments in Lua. Michelle’s focus has been to teach, in a modern approach, how to become a whole warrior through martial arts training and philosophies to empower people around the world to live their healthiest life, both mentally and physically. Michelle helps her students to overcome past trauma and become more confident by teaching them to unleash their true inherent power. Michelle is also a highly sought-after global lecturer and author, and has had numerous appearances at colleges, and on the large and small screen. Known for her accomplishments as a 10th Black Belt and teacher (Kumu) of the rarely seen ancient Hawaiian Combat Art, Lua, Michelle is also the only woman accepted as a disciple and earn the title of teacher (Kumu) under Grand Master (‘Olohe) Solomon Kaihewalu in over 40 years. Michelle is also the only woman, thus far, to be given the designation of “Knight Commander” of the Royal Order of Kamehameha I for her continued work in promoting, protecting, and perpetuating the Hawaiian culture through the Lua. She was inducted into the 2016 Martial Arts History Museum’s Hall of Fame for altering the course of history of martial arts. A wood weapons maker and expert, Michelle is also the guardian and keeper of the only Kaihewalu Lua exhibit, located at the Martial Arts History Museum in Burbank, California. ​Michelle toured the Midwest as a professional Polynesian Hula dancer and choreographer (1990-2004). Lua was concealed in the Hula when Queen Ka’ahumanu banned the combat art from public display (around the same time Hula was banned). Lua is believed to been around a thousand years pre-Hula, which was approximately 1750 AD. Michelle now converts the Hula into the Lua. For the everyday woman, Michelle uses the Hula, Lua, Metaphysics, and Wellness to teach self-empowerment through the Butterfly Effect program (formerly the SHE (Super Hero Experience) program). Michelle strongly believes and can show that Lua and Hula (and Lomilomi) are the same use of energy. Lua is full contact (to bind and dislocate), Lomilomi is contact (to heal), and the Hula is no contact (storytelling).
