Host Pete Deeley welcomes listeners back to The Jiu-Jitsu Mindset, promotes subscription coffee and announces the new app "My Jiu-Jitsu Journey," then interviews Sensei George Rego about his lifelong martial arts path. Rego describes walking into an old, gritty dojo as a child and feeling instantly "at home," drawn to the combination of real physical capability and character, honor, and discipline—echoing Miyamoto Musashi's "twofold way" of sword and pen. He discusses the unique trust of training, the deep teacher-student bond, and the grief of losing his sensei. Rego shares lessons on discipline becoming self-discipline, navigating students who disappear, and his motivation for writing "The Founding of Jujutsu and Judo in America," including Teddy Roosevelt's ju jitsu connections. He concludes that a strong martial artist should be difficult to harm but easy to respect.   00:00 Welcome and Updates 01:05 Meet Sensei George Rego 02:01 Why Martial Arts 03:25 First Dojo Awakening 05:54 Quiet Strength Ideal 09:14 Twofold Way Mindset 13:21 Loss of a Sensei 15:02 Teacher Student Bond 19:08 Trust and Time on Mat 22:18 Students Who Disappear 23:44 Refocus on Students 25:07 Sensei Beyond Fighting 27:13 Systems and Discipline 29:14 Gravitas of a Master 31:05 Why Write the Book 33:53 Research and Roosevelt Dojo 35:05 Preserving Hidden Lineages 36:22 Where to Find the Book 36:57 Audiobook and Bestseller Run 38:33 Hard to Harm Easy Respect

SUMMARY In this episode, Sensei Dell Hamby shares his journey into martial arts, starting from his late introduction at 33 years old in Switzerland to his deep connection with Okinawa, Uechi Ryu karate, and Kobudo. He discusses the significance of finding the right dojo, the passion that drives his practice, and the cultural roots of karate that inspired him to pursue training in Okinawa. Sensei Hamby reflects on his lifelong commitment to martial arts and the joy of living in a place that he considers a paradise for training.   In this conversation, Dell Hamby shares his extensive journey in martial arts, detailing his transition from Shotokan to Kobudo, the establishment of his dojo, and the adaptation to online teaching in 2020. He reflects on the differences in training styles between Switzerland and Okinawa, his experiences with tournaments, and the joy of traveling to teach. Hamby also discusses the connection between music and martial arts, emphasizing the importance of concentration and rhythm in both disciplines.   TAKEAWAYS Sensei Dell Hamby began his martial arts journey at 33 years old. He started training in Shotokan karate in Switzerland. His first trip to Okinawa was in 1996, marking the beginning of a lifelong connection. He emphasizes the importance of finding the right dojo for training. Sensei Hamby was inspired by the roots of karate and wanted to experience it in Okinawa. He has been returning to Okinawa every year for 30 years since his first visit. Living in Okinawa has allowed him to immerse himself in martial arts and culture. He believes Okinawa is a paradise for martial arts training. His passion for martial arts grew after his first training session. Sensei Hamby has developed a deep appreciation for Uechiryu karate. Kobudo fascinated him, leading to a deeper exploration of weapons training. Online teaching became essential in 2020. Tournaments shifted his focus from competing to officiating. Training in Okinawa was more intensive compared to Switzerland. Traveling allows him to connect with diverse martial arts communities.

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei – ZCNYC – 6/14/26 – The Buddha said, “All things are ultimately liberated; they have no abiding place.” In this koan, the teenage Satsujo, completely devoted to practicing the Dharma, was sitting in her room when her father peeked in and saw her seated on a copy of the Lotus Sutra. Shocked, he shouted, “What are you doing sitting on this precious scripture?” Satsujo replied, “How is this wonderful sutra different from my ass? Quickly! What is this body-heart-mind before thoughts of sacred and profane arise?” Hojin Sensei uses this encounter to invite us to question the familiar divisions and fixed ideas in which we can become stuck—those habits of mind that separate sacred from ordinary and can become a source of confusion and suffering. (From Hidden Lamp: Stories from Awakened Women #72 – “Satsujo Sits on the Lotus Sutra”. Japan, 18th century.)

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei – ZCNYC – 6/13/26 – When inquiry is alive within us, every thought we think can end with a question mark — perhaps even an exclamation mark — rather than a period. There is freedom in this openness, in loosening our fixed certainty and allowing experience to remain alive and fresh. Hojin Sensei explores a passage from the Diamond Sutra: “Develop a mind that abides nowhere.”

What if diagnosing PTSD, anxiety, and depression could be as objective as a blood test — done in 10 minutes on your phone?That's the vision behind Sensei, a company using AI and ocular biometrics to bring measurable, objective diagnostics to mental health. In this episode, host Deborah Westphal sits down with David Zakariaie, founder and CEO of Sensei, to talk about the science of the eye, a $2M technology problem solved with a commercial camera, and why fixing mental health starts with fixing measurement.Key TakeawaysMental health's biggest crisis isn't just a shortage of care — it's a measurement problem. Major depression, the most commonly diagnosed mental health condition in the U.S., is misdiagnosed approximately 65% of the time. PTSD, bipolar, and schizophrenia are misdiagnosed between 84–92% of the time.Sensei's diagnostic app shows patients a series of ocular stimuli for roughly 10.5 minutes, captures their eyes' responses via a standard smartphone camera, and outputs a binary diagnosis plus a severity score.The platform measures approximately 45 individual metrics across three categories: traditional ocular metrics (pupil size, blinks, saccades, gaze), iris dilator and sphincter dynamics (mapping sympathetic vs. parasympathetic nervous system activity), and heart rate and heart rate variability from facial video.Sensei is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials for a PTSD diagnostic, with an FDA submission planned for late 2025 and approval expected in 2027.About 16,000 people participated in pre-trial studies; the full dataset at submission is expected to reach approximately 30,000.The go-to-market strategy focuses on telehealth platform integration — partnering with companies like Spring Health, Talkspace, and BetterHelp to embed the diagnostic tool directly into existing care delivery workflows.Future expansion targets schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, with longer-term interest in neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and dementia.About David ZachariaDavid Zakariaie is the founder and CEO of Sensei, a mental health diagnostics company building the first FDA-regulatory-grade platform for diagnosing and monitoring PTSD, anxiety, and depression using AI-powered ocular biometrics. His path began at 15, when he attended Google I/O, received an early pair of Google Glass, and became fascinated with the scientific potential of the human eye. He left high school after 10th grade, taught himself to code, and launched the company in 2015.Resources & Links MentionedSensei: sensei.health (verify current URL)Mental Health Study (Phase 3 Trial Sign-Up): mentalhealthstudy.orgKaren Toffler Charitable Trust: tofflertrust.org (verify current URL)Parea Therapeutics (digital therapeutics reference)The CAPS-5 (Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale)The PCL-5 (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5)If You Enjoyed This EpisodeSubscribe to Research Renaissance wherever you listen to podcasts.

SUMMARY In this episode, Sensei Diane shares her 47-year journey in martial arts, discussing the evolution of women's participation, the challenges faced in training, and the importance of consistency and motivation. She reflects on her transition from student to teacher and emphasizes the transformative power of martial arts in building self-esteem and community. She also shares her journey from martial arts practitioner to teacher, discussing her passion for joint locks and the importance of adapting training for aging bodies. She emphasizes the need for women in martial arts to have a platform and the lessons learned from organizing events. Sensei Diane reflects on how martial arts has been a lifeline during difficult times and the importance of sharing knowledge within the community. Looking to the future, she expresses her desire to make martial arts accessible for older individuals and the necessity of consistent training for self-defense.   TAKEAWAYS Diane has been training in martial arts for 47 years. She started martial arts for self-defense due to a rough job environment. The dojo environment was welcoming, encouraging her to stay. Training in the 80s was different, with fewer women involved. Women often have to drop out of training due to family responsibilities. Diane's motivation evolved from self-defense to helping others. Consistency in training is crucial for mental and physical health. The dojo serves as a place to leave troubles behind and recharge. Diane emphasizes the importance of not quitting, even when motivation wanes. Transitioning from student to teacher was a natural progression for Diane. Learning multiple martial arts can enhance overall skills. Ego should be left at the door in martial arts training. Feedback from participants is crucial for event improvement. Martial arts serves as a vital social network for practitioners. Martial arts can be a lifeline during personal hardships. Sharing knowledge is essential for growth in martial arts. Adapting training for older individuals is a future goal. Consistent training is necessary for effective self-defense.

In this talk, Jogen Sensei makes a distinction between detachment (checking out), non-attachment (neither clinging nor pulling away), and fearless intimacy (meeting experience without any strategy at all), arguing that the ideal of the serene, unruffled practitioner can seduce people into using practice to avoid their emotions rather than meet them. The talk closes by noting that psychological inquiry and meditation practice aren't opposites — sometimes a recurring feeling needs honest examination, and the goal isn't a sanitized, emotion-free self but something more like becoming a conductor through whom life moves freely. ★ Support this podcast ★

The core of the talk breaks meditation down into two complementary skills: staying, which is the ability to keep attention where you want it and non-clinging, which is recognizing that body, mind, and experience are largely just happening on their own without needing to be controlled or possessed. The talk closes by noting that love, devotion, and curiosity can all be brought into practice, but staying and non-clinging remain the fundamental nuts and bolts. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this informal talk, Jogen Sensei explores the Buddhist “perfection of effort” (virya) as a subtle, deeply personal process of aligning one's life with what the heart genuinely longs for, rather than forcing oneself through rigid discipline or external standards. He argues that all effort is already “perfect” because effort learns from itself over time, and that true practice is less about becoming someone better than about continually realigning with the awakened nature already present within us. The talk concludes by emphasizing the balance between self-effort and “other power” — support from community, teachers, and life itself — encouraging practitioners to continue steadily, sincerely, and compassionately on the path. ★ Support this podcast ★

When we let go of grasping and really turn on our attention inward, we stop making a separation between our “self” and everything else. When we don't let all our attention seep outward, we can find the energy for awakening which help dispel the doubts and distortions that create suffering.
