One of our most popular episodes on American Glutton over these past years is this interview we are re-sharing today. One of Ethan's favorite roles was playing D in the Hulu series, Chance. The character D was based on Tom Kier. Tom has been a combatives instructor for the past 30 years and he is considered a subject matter expert by USSOCOM (The Unites States Special Operations Command). He also holds a master instructor/Tuhon rank in Sayoc Kali. Sayoc is a Filipino martial arts system developed by Pamana Tuhon Chris Sayoc. Mindset is an integral part of Sayoc, and Ethan thought it would be a good idea to get Tom on the podcast to share some of those principles, and how they can assist in achieving your goals.

In this episode, I have Patrick Consing, Tuhon in Sayoc Kali, Master Instructor of Kapatid Martial Arts in Pleasantville NY and one of most influential people I turn to for mentorship. If you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand. Everything begins with thought I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand. If you act like a stranger, you’re going to be treated like a stranger. A talk on optimism with a black belt class Training dictates how you can do everything Factors that help create success Why do people get stuck? If a plan is created for success, then why not follow it? Something that you can always do Pain and change Willingness to make your training work Faith in your training Accessing your resources Your accomplishments and deeds Welcoming mistakes Ignoring preparations Why can’t you avoid training Staying sharp Everyday you should be seeking Don’t forget who forged you Exercise trust in your mentors Addressing the need to take a break Willingness Communication and being connected Character based training Self selections Methodology Its alright to learn something new If you’re already a master, why are you here?

My second guest on the podcast is with a good friend and training partner in the Filipino Martial Arts. The topic is about his podcast called Lakas FMA with episodes on capturing time and how it gives the ability to revisit it from a personal perspective that I feel is important. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/lakas-filipino-martial-arts-podcast/id1264966907 You'll have to forgive the quality around minute 16 of the podcast. I tried a different sound setup with my guest, Guro Joe Marana, on recording the audio. It reverbs for just a short spurt but we'll give it a go anyway. Introducing Guro Joe Marana and Lakas Filipino Martial Arts podcast Influencing through time Time hopping Personal inspiration Important and completely organic conversations Sayoc Kali's direct influence on us Defining moments Picking on social media some more referencing EP 04 Getting self conscious about the camera Reminiscing on VHS recordings Ascending relationships with time capsules from the personal archives Thank you for time well spent
