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.

In 2023, she launched "Selfcare by Pri Buiar" to share her wellness journey and offer a roadmap to finding balance and setting boundaries.Priscila isn't just lighting up screens; she's lighting a fire in women everywhere to rest without guilt, say no without fear, and put themselves first without apology. In 2023, she launched @selfcarebypribuiar to make wellness both accessible and non-negotiable.

You may have grown up with the term “nonviolence” shining like a pole star over every discussion of how we accomplish socio-political change. But what does it really mean? And who defines violence for that matter—beyond the police, the courts, and others in power? Today, the theory of non-violence has grown beyond its Gandhian, spiritual aspiration roots, while retaining an irrational faith and offering a distorted view of resistance history. It is now a think-tank-approved, purportedly evidence-based method that guarantees movement success.  That reasoning comes from the pioneering scholarship of the pacifist Gene Sharp in the 1960s, and his inheritors in strategic nonviolence discourse, Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan. They argue that Gandhi's sacred ideal of satyagraha also happens to be the only successful pathway to lasting change—and they have the data to prove it.  But do they? Nope. Matthew's guest today persuasively shows that the movements we think of as “nonviolent” never really are. Why don't we know this? Through a tangle of academic malpractice, spiritual bypassing, liberal wish fulfillment, and erasing anticolonial voices. Oh, and Gene Sharp also got a lot of funding from the Department of Defense. Benjamin S. Case is a retired professional Muaythai fighter, an organizer, educator, and writer. He is a researcher at the Center for Work and Democracy and a fellow at the Resistance Studies Initiative.  P.S.: During our conversation, Ben mentioned that there are antifascist fighting clubs out there. Here are a few to look into: Haymaker in Chicago. SKN Muay Thai in Pittsburgh, PA. Balagoon Boxing Club in Philly, PA.

“This journey didn't begin with fight promotion—it began with the love of the arts, and it continues because of it.”“Mastery is when you're unconsciously competent—your body knows before your mind can think.”“We didn't just build champions—we built humans. And you can feel the difference when they walk into the room.” – Scott CokerWelcome to a very special episode of the Black Belt Podcast. I'm your host, Harinder Singh, and today I'm joined by a true pioneer, visionary, and martial artist—Scott Coker.You may know him as the founder of Strikeforce, the former president of Bellator, or the man who helped shape the careers of some of the greatest fighters in the world. But what sets Scott apart is not just what he built—it's how he built it.At his core, Scott is a martial artist. A student and teacher who carries the legacy of Ernie Reyes, a master of building not just champions, but character. From training in Korea to creating global fight organizations, from discovering legends like Daniel Cormier and Ronda Rousey to launching his latest venture, “Fight Night,” Scott's journey is a masterclass in authenticity, intuition, and martial arts spirit.In this conversation, we dive into:The philosophy behind building warriors from the ground up.The subtle art of talent identification and what it means to feel someone's greatness before the world sees it.The return to grassroots martial arts through “Fight Night” in San Jose.The evolving culture of combat sports—from rings to cages, from Muay Thai to MMA.And most importantly, what it really means to live, breathe, and walk the path of martial arts—on and off the mat.This is more than a conversation. It's a rare glimpse into the heart and mind of someone who's helped shape the evolution of modern martial arts, all while staying deeply rooted in the traditional code of the warrior.

Zach Stone's life arc runs from teenage “knucklehead” to crisis negotiator, trauma-informed facilitator, and head-of-product for thirty health-ed dev teams. In this rich, funny, and occasionally hair-raising conversation we drill down into the how of navigating chaos — on a subway platform, in a corporate boardroom, and inside your own nervous system.Trigger warning: there's a conversation about suicide at about 15 minutes into the episode. Skip to minute 17 if you want to avoid this section.Here's a tasting menu of our conversation:Gang manuals & purple binders – How a Quaker-adjacent conflict resolution course turned a 15-year-old troublemaker into a group dynamics geek.From union hall to board hall – Lessons learned refereeing SEPTA labor fights and why the same “rubber-and-glue” listening works on Zoom stand-ups.OARS in rough water – Using Motivational Interviewing (Open questions, Affirmations, Reflections, Summaries) to defuse rage, whether from a bus driver or the voice in your own head.Simulated danger, real breakthroughs – How well-designed role-plays can heal trauma if you hold the container (and what happens when a participant suddenly starts to undress).Signs you're in a chaotic system – Chronic absenteeism, cortisol tummy, “my work doesn't matter” syndrome, and 70% burnout in tech.Habit > culture – A shout-out to Paul Gibbons, Prochaska & DiClemente, and the myth of top-down culture change.Martial arts as somatic therapy – TaeKwonDo to Muay Thai to boxing; what Zach saw when veterans laid down their canes and kids in shelters stopped fighting.Virtual heartbreak – Coaching a Kharkiv dev team while missiles shook their bomb shelter.Chaos surfing 101 – Why you don't control chaos, you ride it; plus simple team-level practices to build collective resilience.TakeawaysName the elephant first. Start every workshop by voicing the resistance in the room; it evaporates faster than you'd think.Watch for survival mode. Tight shoulders, skipped meals, rolling eyes? Slow down before you roll out another initiative.Move the meat-sack. Five minutes of mindful movement (shadow-boxing, Tai-Chi, hallway laps) resets the neuro-chemistry better than another latte.Change habits, not slogans.

He was planning a trip to Pai too.在那里,我一位我在泰国新年在清迈认识的新朋友 Evert,他也正打算来 Pai 度假。The second time we met… he showed up at my room—with magic mushrooms.第二次见面,他竟然带着蘑菇来我房间。It was my first time trying mushrooms.那是我第一次尝试蘑菇。I saw beauty so intense, it brought tears to my eyes.我看到的美景让我感动到落泪。I also went deep into self-reflection.我也进入了很深层的内在反思。�第四段:内在觉醒与持续探索(Inner Awakening)After that first time, I actually tried mushrooms two more times.那次之后,我又尝试了两次蘑菇。One time, I was completely alone.有一次,是我独自在房间里进行的。The other time, I was with a healer I met at a hot spring in Pai.另一次,是和一位在 Pai 的温泉遇见的疗愈师一起,那次非常特别。She created a safe, sacred space for us, and I saw so much more.她为我们营造了一个安全而神圣的空间,而我看见的东西更多了。Not just with my eyes—but with my heart.不只是用眼睛,而是用心。Each experience brought new clarity, healing, and wonder.每一次的体验,都带来新的清明、疗愈与惊奇。� 结语(Reflection & Call to Action)This April reminded me:The most magical journeys don't always happen across countries—they happen inside.这个四月提醒了我,最神奇的旅程不一定跨越国界,而是发生在我们内心深处。What did April awaken in you?你的四月,又唤醒了你什么呢?Thanks for joining me on this journey.感谢你与我同行。Don't forget to subscribe, share your thoughts, and join Fly with Lily to grow with us.别忘了订阅、留言,还有加入我5月20日即将开展的七日晨光觉醒旅程Seven Days of Morning Awakening,赶快到 flywiithlily.com 下载我们的离开舒适圈中英语挑战手册,如果已经注册过邮箱的朋友很快的你在邮箱里就会接受到邀请!和Lily一起进行华丽变身、成长、冒险!

From Fighter to Coach: Billy Freedson's Combat Sports Journey

Send us a textThe journey from fighter to coach often reveals the deepest insights about combat sports. Billy Freedson, standing at just 5'5", began his martial arts journey with what he calls "Napoleon syndrome" – a chip on his shoulder and a readiness to fight that eventually transformed into a sophisticated understanding of striking, grappling, and the intricate dance between them.Billy's expertise spans multiple disciplines: Muay Thai, K-1 kickboxing, wrestling, judo, jiu-jitsu, and even Filipino knife fighting. This comprehensive background has made him a valued coach at Cleveland's Upgraded Industries, where he's helped shape numerous fighters including Tony "The Latin Assassin" – a wrestling specialist whose striking has evolved from "brutish" and forward-charging to technical and angle-focused under Billy's guidance.What makes Billy's perspective particularly valuable is his willingness to acknowledge the hard lessons of his own fighting career. From backyard brawls to a knockout loss against future UFC champion Cody Garbrandt, Billy understands the painful education that combat sports provide. After going 3-0 at 135 pounds, his fighting career ended with a difficult weight cut that drained his performance – experience that now informs his coaching approach.The podcast explores fascinating aspects of the fight game: how wrestlers can use striking to set up takedowns, why women fighters often underestimate their own power, what six weeks of training in Thailand taught Billy about authentic Muay Thai, and even a candid assessment of Jake Paul's boxing skills ("high level amateur"). Throughout these topics runs a consistent thread – Billy's dedication to building Cleveland's combat sports community through collaborative training rather than gym rivalrySubscribe for exclusive content: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1530455/support Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEReaper Apparel Reaper Apparel Co was built for those who refuse to die slowly!

Nearly two years removed from retiring on top with a win over Irene Aldana, the soon-to-be UFC Hall of Famer opens up about life outside the Octagon, balancing family and fitness, and what it would mean to dust off her gloves for a title shot against the winner of UFC 316's co-main event between Julianna Peña and Kayla Harrison.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review, where this week we're taking a neon-lit, blood-soaked trip through the moody underworld of Bangkok with Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives (2013). If you thought Drive was a stylish slow burn, this one cranks up the stillness, strips back the dialogue, and drops you into a hallucinatory revenge opera that's equal parts mesmerizing and maddening.Ryan Gosling stars as Julian, a quiet, emotionally blank drug smuggler running a Muay Thai gym as a front in Bangkok. When his volatile brother Billy is murdered for committing an unspeakable crime, their monstrous mother Crystal (Kristin Scott Thomas) arrives in town demanding vengeance. Julian is reluctantly pulled into a spiral of violence and surreal symbolism, facing off against Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm), a sword-wielding police lieutenant who dispenses his own brutal, godlike justice. Refn drenches the screen in glowing reds and deep shadows, pairing every scene with an eerie, droning score from Cliff Martinez. The film is light on plot and even lighter on dialogue—Gosling speaks fewer than 20 lines—but the atmosphere is thick enough to cut with a katana.Only God Forgives is a fever dream of a film—icy cold yet visually scorching. It's like a revenge thriller that's been put through a Lynchian blender, leaving behind a hushed, haunted meditation on masculinity, vengeance, and judgement. If you want action, go elsewhere. If you want mood and madness, step right in.

In this electrifying episode of Healthy Waves, host Sana is joined by Nico Verresen — a 6-time Muay Thai and MMA champion turned elite performance psychologist. Together, they explore how to stay cool, calm, and deeply engaged in high-pressure situations. Drawing from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and decades of training elite athletes and CEOs, Nico shares powerful mindset shifts and easy-to-apply techniques that anyone can use to turn stress into strength. Whether you're battling boardroom anxiety, juggling family life, or facing internal fears, this episode offers practical tools to transform tension into triumph. About the Guest:Nico Verresen is a former world champion fighter and now a sought-after performance psychologist. He works with Olympians, Fortune 500 CEOs, and high performers across industries to unlock flow states and resilience under pressure. His approach blends science, movement, and mindset to help people transform stress into their superpower. Key Takeaways: Stress isn't the enemy—your mindset is. Nico explains how the belief that stress is harmful actually causes more harm than stress itself. Embrace, don't escape. Rather than fighting stress, Nico suggests seeing it as a biological signal of something important, much like our ancestors did with real threats. Learn to ground yourself. Simple tools like the physiological sigh and progressive muscle relaxation can calm the body without suppressing energy. Mental rehearsal works. Visualizing how you'll respond to stress before it hits prepares the brain to stay steady under pressure. Practical for everyone. From elite athletes to working parents in unfulfilling jobs, these techniques work because they align the body and mind through awareness and self-regulation. Bubble method for thoughts. One of the most creative tools: naming and acknowledging negative thoughts, then releasing them like soap bubbles to reduce their emotional grip.

Ever wonder why some fighters look completely unfazed… even when they're eating clean KO shots?It's not just that they've got a chin. And it's not just experience either.A punch doesn't knock you out just because it's hard. It knocks you out because your head moves.More specifically, because your skull moves—and your brain doesn't.That little delay is all it takes for your brain to slam into the inside of your skull. That's the knockout.Mike Tyson's famously thick neck wasn't just for looks. It made him ridiculously hard to knock out.You can do the same—without having to bulk up like a Marvel character.Here's how:-Brace your neck.Deliberately push your head into your gloves when you're in your guard. It switches your neck muscles on and helps absorb the impact.-Engage your lats.Think of your elbows as tusks. Squeeze them in with purpose—it's not just “hands up,” it's “structure on.”-Adapt to the range:Long range (Green): Relaxed but ready.Mid-range (Amber): Structure engaged.Close range (Red): Hands tight, head braced—go full crash helmet mode.This way, even if they land a shot, your brain doesn't get rattled.You stay standing. You stay sharp. You stay dangerous.KEY MOMENTSFollow along using these quick timestamps:00:00 Introduction00:10 What Really Causes a KO00:44 Strong Neck = No Whip, No KO01:33 Your Guard Isn't Passive—It's a Shock Frame01:51 Range Awareness = Guard Readiness03:22 A Crash Helmet Saves You04:07 From Cover to Clinch: Turning Defense Into Offense04:37 Confidence in Your ShieldsFurther notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2025/04/11/become-ko-proof/
