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.

I flew to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil during the height of Carnival season to chat all things self-care, fitness, and rest with award-winning Actress, Model, and all-around queen Priscila Buiar. Best known for her role as Valentina in the series "Stupid Wife," Priscila is using her platform to empower women to put themselves first: mentally, physically, and emotionally. 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. We took a Muay Thai class together, bonded over our water sign placements, and loudly declared that selfcare is anything but selfish. This episode is your reminder that FOMO has nothing on inner peace.

Matthew is back today for more with Ben Case: profiling Gene Sharp and the (non)politics of strategic nonviolence, plus his strange funding sources. Also: why did Erica Chenoweth speak out against antifascist Trump protesters in January of 2017, and suggest their research proved that property damage and scuffles with the police would ruin any opposition movement to Trump? Also: where does the funding come from for all this bad research? Gene Sharp worked for the Department of Defense, and today, Bill Ackerman is a top funder of strategic nonviolence research.  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.  Show Notes Street Rebellion: Resistance Beyond Violence and Nonviolence | Case Why Civil Resistance Works | Columbia University Press  Why Not Riot?

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. Draft tiny incentives that make the preferred behavior the easy behavior; culture follows.Links & ResourcesZach on LinkedIn – the easiest place to connect and geek out about behavioral science.Red Kite Project – trauma-informed organizational change (Charlotte DiBartolomeo).AFSC Help Increase the Peace curriculumBooksPeter Levine – Waking the TigerBessel van der Kolk – The Body Keeps the ScorePaul Gibbons –

The simplest way to get better at Muay Thai, is just to do more Muay Thai!I used to think soreness meant progress.If I wasn't waking up stiff, bruised, or dead-legged, I'd wonder if I had even trained hard enough.So I'd double down — longer pad rounds, heavier bags, extra roadwork, more lifting sets.Because more work means more gains, right?That's what I told myself… right up until my body said otherwise.Turns out, chasing exhaustion isn't the same as chasing excellence.And that's where Bryan Popejoy flips the script...KEY MOMENTSFollow along using these quick timestamps:00:00 Why the "Train Till You Drop" Mindset Is Failing Fighters00:44 Smarter, Not Softer02:06 Why Thailand Isn't Your Template03:48 What Real Efficiency Looks LikeFurther notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2025/05/02/think-you-need-to-do-more-muay-thai-bryan-popejoy-shares-what-youre-missing/

But this April… something else was blooming inside me.四月的雨会带来五月的花，但今年四月，在我内心开花的，是更不可思议的东西。�第一段：Pai 遇见 Edu（Meeting Edu in Pai）In early April, I left Chiang Mai and headed to the dreamy mountain town of Pai.四月初，我离开清迈，前往梦幻山城拜县。On my second day there, I met Edu—a Muay Thai trainee from the Canary Islands of Spain.抵达的第二天，我认识了 Edu，一位来自西班牙加那利群岛的泰拳训练者。To my surprise, we clicked immediately. We had so much in common!令我惊讶的是，我们一见如故，发现彼此竟有好多共通点！We both had traveled to only one South American country—Peru.我们都只去过一个南美国家，就是秘鲁。And guess what? We both tried Ayahuasca there.你猜怎样？我们都在那里体验过死藤水。Even crazier, we were both heading back to Chiang Mai on the same Friday—me for a Thai dance performance, and him for a Muay Thai fight.更巧的是，我们同一天周五都要回清迈，我要去跳泰舞，他则要参加拳击赛。�第二段：泰舞、拳击与新年狂欢（Performances & Songkran）That week was magical. He came to see my Thai dance performance, and I went to cheer for his Muay Thai match.那几天真像一场梦。他来看我跳泰舞，我也去为他的比赛加油。There was definitely a spark between us, but we had different future plans.我们之间确实有些火花，但我们的未来规划不同。We talked openly and maturely, and agreed to stay friends.我们很成熟地谈开，决定做朋友就好。Then came Songkran—Thailand's water festival.接着就是泰国新年泼水节！We ran around like kids with water guns, ice buckets, and laughter.我们像小孩一样奔跑、拿着水枪和冰桶，疯狂大笑。Those moments reminded me of how beautiful it is to play.那些时刻让我想起：“玩”其实是一种祝福。�第三段：遇见 Evert 与魔幻体验（Meeting Evert & the Mushroom Trip）After all the fun, I returned to Pai a little sick and tired.狂欢过后，我带着一点感冒回到了拜县。There, my another new friend, Evert, who I had met in Chiang Mai during Songkran. 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！

“Ugh that generation is so entitled!” But are they really? As Jackie Dacanay shares, “The problem isn't Gen Z asking so much, it's not having the conversation early enough.”So how do you lead a team made up of Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers especially when there are unspoken biases, stereotypes, and different values at play?In this fireside chat I had at HR Retail, I talk with Jackie Dacanay, Northern California Regional Director of Service Culture & Engagement at Fairmont Hotels, about how to build inclusive, values-aligned workplaces that actually support multi-generational teams—and boost retention while doing it.Also: Did you know Jackie's a hula champion and motorcyclist? And I've been doing Muay Thai (yes, Thai kickboxing—the art of 8 limbs, punching, kicking, knees and elbows!) for 21 years. So, we know a thing or two about discipline and collaboration

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!

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by two fighters representing different eras of Brazilian greatness. First, surging featherweight Jean Silva drops in for his Unfiltered debut to discuss his standing as a 145-pound title contender after beginning his unblemished 5-0 UFC tenure with each win coming via stoppage. Silva reflects on his statement victory over Bryce Mitchell, how Muay Thai turned his life around, and why he channels an alter ego called “Lord Assassin” every time he fights. Later, UFC legend Amanda Nunes returns for her 14th appearance on the show. 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 Episode 192 of the Pu'u Muay Thai Podcast, we sit down in-person at Teep Studios in Scottsdale, AZ with a very special guest: Jason Cruz, the legendary frontman of the punk rock band Strung Out and a dedicated student at Pu'u Muay Thai Ventura. Jason was in town for the Punk in the Park festival in Chandler, AZ, but made time to talk about his powerful journey through music, fighting, and finding purpose.At 51 years old, Jason shares how Muay Thai has transformed his life—and how discovering it with his wife during COVID gave them a shared mission of empowerment, discipline, and community. From touring the world with his band to stepping into the ring at our Eat Sleep Teep event, Jason's story is a unique and deeply authentic one that bridges punk rock and martial arts like few can.Topics include: 

It's easy to avoid the stuff that actually builds you up—especially if you're only training from fight to fight.You're in the groove, your bread-and-butter combos are sharp… until you touch the awkward stuff.But that “awkward stuff”? That's where the real gains are.When I spoke with Professor Tony Myers—a legend in the world of Muay Thai—he shared something crucial:Skills are perishable. They come and go. You don't just ‘have' them. You've got to keep developing—mentally and physically. Otherwise, they slip.Too many fighters think training hard for six weeks before a fight will solve everything.It won't.Still just training fight to fight?

Arriving with no knowledge of English and few opportunities, Kenya faced immense challenges, from being unable to attend high school or community college to being turned away from work. However, a kind gesture from an African American homeless man helped guide him toward education and a new life. A Cambodian-born martial artist, Kenya is known for his expertise in Kbach-Kun-Boran-Khmer (Bokator) and Muay Thai kickboxing. Despite enduring the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime, he pursued martial arts in Thailand and later excelled in boxing in the United States. With a deep understanding of hardship and compassion, Kenya has dedicated his life to helping others, particularly in the fight against human trafficking and advocating for human rights.

A story about overcoming the odds, training hard, and fighting for more than pride but for love. It's also about watching your World Champion brother be crippled and they leave him to rot on a Bangkok street corner. Yeah, Kickboxer is a wild film that's mainly about Muay Thai. But ignore all that and enjoy the 80's action!

In this episode, we catch up with Razor Rob McCullough and Nathan Broadmax to discuss the Razor Striking System (RSS), a self-defense system rooted in Muay Thai. We discuss the development of the RSS curriculum, its goals, and the importance of creating a supportive environment for students. RSS aims to make striking accessible to a wider audience. In this conversation, Rob and Nate delve into their experiences in martial arts, discussing the differences between self-defense training and combat sports, the evolution of training, and the importance of building a community through martial arts. We explore the business side of martial arts and envision the future of structured training programs for beginners and experienced practitioners. The discussion highlights the significance of self-defense, the growth of jiu-jitsu, and the potential for martial arts to be both a hobby and a viable business. In this conversation, Rob and Nate discuss various personal and professional projects, including a science fiction novel, a growing YouTube channel for jiu jitsu, and the development of a martial arts program. You can learn more about Rob on IG:⁠@razorob⁠⁠@razorstrikingsystemYou can learn more about Nathan online:⁠www.victoremlaw.com⁠IG: ⁠@nmbrodnax⁠YouTube: ⁠@BJJforBreakfast⁠Chapters00:00 Introduction to the BizJitzu Podcast02:59 Razor Striking System Overview06:03 The Goals of Striking Training08:59 Curriculum Development and Iteration12:09 Progression and Retention in Training15:10 Real-World Applications of Striking18:13 The Importance of Structure in Martial Arts20:48 Accessibility of Striking for All23:59 Cultural Aspects of Muay Thai and Striking28:01 Sparring Stories and Training Dynamics29:21 Self-Defense vs. Combat Sports Training31:00 The Evolution of Training Methods33:22 The Journey of Martial Arts Together35:39 Business and Martial Arts: A Partnership39:10 The Future of Martial Arts Programs42:39 Building a Community Through Martial Arts46:43 The Importance of Self-Defense Training49:45 The Evolution of Jiu-Jitsu and Combat Sports56:33 Reflections on Personal Growth and Projects01:06:53 Building a Successful Martial Arts Program01:17:30 Podcast Evolution and Future PlansKeywordsRSS, Razor Striking System, martial arts, self-defense, striking training, curriculum development, member retention, Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu, fitness, martial arts, self-defense, combat sports, training methods, community building, sparring, business in martial arts, future of training, personal growth, podcasting, science fiction, training, coaching, community, business, writing

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.

In Episode 191 of the Pu'u Muay Thai Podcast, we're coming to you straight from Bangkok, Thailand with a special crossover segment from CHOK Chats—hosted by content creator and RWS commentator Joe Comerford, joined by Jonathan Puu and Josh Soliva.This wide-ranging, no-filter conversation digs into the realities of training and fighting Muay Thai in Thailand, the cultural expectations for foreigners, and the ongoing issue of influencer fraud—people selling online content and courses without real experience.We discuss:

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/
