“I never wanted to be the greatest martial artist ever, I always saw myself as a teacher. I want to influence people, I don't want them to be impressed by what I do, I want to be a vehicle for them to learn. To me integrity is a moment by moment choice. My work is to challenge myself to choose the way I respond to situations. Who we are is more important than what we do.”My guest this episode is Fariborz Azhakh, who is a master of Hapkido and a student of Master Steve Sexton. He is the founder of Team Karate Centers and over the years has built on the foundations of Hapkido to develop a system of multicultural martial arts based on usefulness; one that draws upon principles from a variety of fighting styles and ranges, including kickboxing, grappling, trapping, weapons, joint locks, and meditation. The “Hapkido Blend,” allows all students to cultivate their own individual art within the traditions of Hapkido. Throughout his journey, he repeatedly cites his teachers and heroes as his greatest inspirations, among them: Benny Urquidez, Ji Han Jae, Ron Balicki, Stuart Quan, and Simon and Phillip Rhee. Sensei Fariborz is also a pioneer of martial arts on the internet, he created the first major martial arts resource website and online magazine back in the 1990s when websites were almost unheard of. This episode is all about becoming a master teacher. My key takeaway is that self-defense and self-development must be taught as in integrated curriculum. As martial artists and martial arts teachers we have a responsibility to our students and to ourselves, to learn, practice, master, functionalism and maintain not only our physical skills but also our personal and interpersonal skills as a combined approach. We also dive deep into the distinction between a Teacher, Instructor, and Coach. Sensei Fariborz and I also discuss that the common thread amongst the great masters is that they are real. Their character and competency are congruent on and off the matts. Martial Arts is a way of life, and to truly understand the life changing benefits of the Arts we must have great teachers that can be pointers to the way. I had a great time talking story with Sensei Fariborz, his knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of the way of martial arts is truly inspirational. Tune in for another fantastic episode.

We sat down and watched some stuff. And then talked about it. First up, 1989's Best of the Best starring Phillip Rhee and Eric Roberts is a muddled quagmire of plot inconsistencies, bad dialog, 80s action movie tropes, and somehow James Earl Jones. Then, all the heartbreaking and exciting twists and turns in the fourth episode of Marvel's Loki, and Invincible had an absolute gem of a first season finale. Checkout ADAMSNERDS.com for more!

Die kurze “Sommerpause” ist Geschichte und wir machen fast nahtlos weiter mit Show #36. Zu Beginn lassen wir Euch teilhaben an dem niedersächsischen Filmkaufrausch, den Leo, Benedikt und Max vor einigen Wochen durchlebt haben. Die Ausbeute war gigantisch und höchst differenziert und Ihr werdet sicher bald so einige Besprechungen über die Neuerwerbungen zu hören bekommen. Bevor wir uns allerdings an deren Vertonung machen, möchten wir natürlich die Reviews der aktuellen Show anpreisen, durch deren Programm Tobe gewohnt souverän führt. Da hätten wir vornweg die Besprechung zu DÜNNES BLUT, eine ambitionierte Indie-Produktion, die Schöpfer Mehrdad Taheri fast im Alleingang gewuppt hat. Ob die Umsetzung seiner Vision funktioniert, verrät Euch Max. Danach wird Benedikt ganz anders, wenn er ganz allein BECOMING von Regisseur Omar Naim vorstellt, einen übernatürlichen Thriller in dem es Vertretern des „starken Geschlechts“ auf ungewöhnliche Weise an den Kragen geht. Zusammen widmen sich die beiden dann einem gern übersehenen Klassiker des Nachkriegs-Coming-of-Age-Filmes. NOW AND THEN – DAMALS UND HEUTE ist hier natürlich gemeint, der mit reichlich Frauenpower in Form einer illustren Darstellerinnenriege um Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, Demi Moore und Melanie Griffith aufwartet. Danach wartet Benedikt mit der blutgetränkten Mistgabel auf Euch und präsentiert im Wicked-Vision-Media-Slot PITCHFORK einen Slasher von Glen Douglas Packard, der sich trotz des kleinen Budgets an den Großen des Genres zu messen sucht. Julia und Lisa hingegen haben sich den besten Film überhaupt -zumindest gemäß IMDB- gesucht und mit DIE VERURTEILTEN ihn auch gefunden. Frank Darabonts meisterhafte Umsetzung der Stephen King Novelle Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption bedarf hier keiner Worte mehr, derer verlieren die Kolleginnen genug. Danach wird es wieder weniger episch, dafür umso hektischer, wenn Benedikt unter der Regie von Justin Dec in COUNTDOWN die Lebenszeit weg läuft. Zum Schluss küren Leo und Benedikt abermals den BEST OF THE BEST und KICK FIRErn sich abermals mit Phillip Rhee durch das berühmt-berüchtigte Hau-Drauf-Franchise. Wir machen den Deckel rauf auf die Sendung und wünschen Euch wie immer viel Freude beim Zuhören.
