This past two weeks, I have had the honor of speaking to Sahbunim Jamie Webster, who played himself (and the character of Great Wolf) in the mid 90s martial arts show, WMAC Masters. Sahbunim (abbreviated here as SBN) is the Korean term for master instructor at a martial arts school, and the Webster Martial Arts academies have been serving the Northern Alabama region since 1973, when SBN Jamie's father, opened the first martial arts school in the area. We had a great conversation about many topics - martial arts history, WMAC Masters, breaking, toy collecting and more, and it was long enough that for the sake of editing, I broke it into two episodes. You can find part one here.A lot of today's episode is about collecting. WMAC Masters, similar to a lot of other children's programs of the era, was created with the idea of selling toys. The company producing the show, Saban, had the toys made through its manufacturing partner, Bandai, and while you can still find the figures around today, since the show only went 2 seasons (26 episodes), there were probably more figures that would have been made had the show been around longer. I never had any as a kid, since I was a teenager when the show aired and didn't really play with action figures by that time, but I did pick up a Great Wolf figure on ebay for this interview.Jamie also sent me a number of pictures from his own extensive collections, which he describes in the episode.See them here: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2025/05/12/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-509-welcome-sahbunim-jamie-webster-great-wolf-from-wmac-masters-part-2/Jamie has an extensive collection of WMAC Masters memorabilia as well, and it just feels right that a star of the show would have one of the largest, if not the largest collections of show stuff ever. If you visit the links below, you can see him talking about his costume (which he still has) and more.A few related books:If you are interested in the show, to my knowledge there was never a "making of" book created when it came out, but author Kristopher Landis wrote an extensive behind the scenes book called Quest for the Dragon Star you can find here. Highly recommended! SBN Jamie has quotes featured in a number of the segments.I recently also wrote a segment for a book being published by whistlekick's books division. I wrote about watching WMAC Masters as a teenager, seeing SBN Jamie doing windmills, and how that spurred me on a years long quest to be able to do the same. The show was such an inspiring thing to have as a kid since it was positive and full or actual martial artists I read about in magazine who were more or less playing themselves and saying and doing things good martial arts instructors would do (at least in season one). Anyhow, that segment is part of a book called Modern Dads of Martial Arts, Vol 1, and is coming out 6/10/25. There actually was a mom edition (Happy Mother's Day all you moms out there) that released last year called Modern Moms of Martial Arts, Vol 1. Check them out!If you have not see WMAC Masters, you can find all the episodes uploaded to Youtube here. They were never released on DVD, to my knowledge, so these are, I believe episodes that a kind soul likely taped off the TV and then digitized and eventually uploaded.You can learn more about SBN Jamie and his schools here:-The Webster Martial Arts Academy of Decatur-The Webster Martial Arts Academy of Madison-Instagram-Tiktok-YoutubeThanks for being on the show, SBN Jamie, and thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

This week, I had the honor of speaking to Sahbunim Jamie Webster, who played himself (and the character of Great Wolf) in the mid 90s martial arts show, WMAC Masters. Sahbunim (abbreviated here as SBN) is the Korean term for master instructor at a martial arts school, and the Webster Martial Arts academies have been serving the Northern Alabama region since 1973, when SBN Jamie's father, opened the first martial arts school in the area. We had a great conversation about many topics - martial arts history, WMAC Masters, breaking, toy collecting and more, and it was long enough that for the sake of editing, I broke it into two episodes. I was in high school by the time WMAC Masters aired and had been doing martial arts for just a few years. Though I was a little beyond watching cartoons on weekend mornings by then, I do remember getting up to try to watch episodes of WMAC Masters, since they were one of the few sources of martial arts I could find on network television (unless there was the Chuck Norris or Van Damme movie or the odd kung fu film playing on this random Spanish language channel that had them sometimes). SBN Jamie was a Native American character on the show called Great Wolf, who, besides being a pretty swell martial artist and acrobat, was also a breakdancer. He did windmills on the show a number of times. I talked about how seeing him on the show was one of the reasons I wanted to learn how to do the move on a previous episode, so when I stumbled across his school contact info, I had to reach out to thank him. We get to talk all about mills and other acrobatics on this episode!If you have not see WMAC Masters, you can find all the episodes uploaded to Youtube here. They were never released on DVD, to my knowledge, so these are, I believe episodes that a kind soul likely taped off the TV and then digitized and eventually uploaded.You can learn more about SBN Jamie and his schools here:-The Webster Martial Arts Academy of Decatur-The Webster Martial Arts Academy of Madison-Instagram-Tiktok-YoutubeStay tuned for part 2 next week!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

My guest today is Willie “The BAM” Johnson, Willie shares his rebirth from bullying, poverty, and physical, sexual and mental abuse. Rampant crime and drugs engulfed his community. Becoming a successful drug dealer, user and criminal eventually landed him in jail. This tragic scenario almost seems to lose its edge and become less tragic, because it is a situation that is repeated endlessly in near-epidemic proportions throughout the United States. Willie breaks the cycle with the principle of Martial Arts to become recognized today as an Urban Legend and a member of Black Belt Magazine's Hall of Fame along with the world's greatest Martial Artists like Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Jackie Chan and many others. He also returned from Sports Karate as a seven-time World Champion. There could be no better representative for all of the life-changing benefits that the Martial Arts bestow. Professor BAM has also been recognized by both eastern and western masters in the Martial Arts as one of today's most gifted and talented Martial Artists. He got his start at age six by being inspired by Bruce Lee while residing in downtown Baltimore. Today, he is a graduate of the Beijing Physical institute of China and holds a seventh degree Black Belt under Master Kenneth Parker, a master's degree under Grandmaster Dennis Brown and a first degree Black belt under Master Garcia Davis. Among his credits is a solid record of wins including the first national Triple Crown Wushu/Kung Fu title, WAKO World Title, two All-American titles, and being the first African-American to hold two national American Sports Karate Association titles. He is the producer of more World Champions in one year than any other Martial Artist. Through the Better Attitude Maker Sports Karate Team, he is also recognized as one of today's most recognized action stars. He played himself on the hit TV show- WMAC Masters along with Bruce Lee's daughter Shannon Lee and some of the 21st century's leading Martial Artists. He has also been on many other TV and film projects including the Hong Kong Production entitled “Super Fights.” Johnson also had a fight scene against Chuck Jeffreys – The choreographer for a number of Wesley Snipe's Films, Including Blade: Trinity. He was also a featured performer on the Wesley Snipes production “Wesley Snipe's Presents: Master of the Martial Arts”, Chuck Norris' “Kick Drugs Out of America” and the Dragon-Fest “Superstar Show.” If you enjoy the podcast, please subscribe and leave a short review on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen?

My guest today is Chris Casamassa, Chris is a martial artist, actor, and stuntman who is best known for his role as Scorpion in the movie Mortal Kombat and the related TV show, Mortal Kombat: Konquest. He is the son of martial arts guru and Red Dragon Karate founder Louis D. Casamassa. (Chris co-starred on the TV series WMAC Masters under the call-sign "Red Dragon".) Casamassa is also the President of the successful Red Dragon Karate Schools, which were founded by his father. As a national competitor on the North American Sport Karate Association circuit (N.A.S.K.A) Casamassa was the #1 form competitor in the country for four consecutive years. Chris started his martial arts training in 1969 at the age of 4. He made his first-degree Black belt at the age of 10. His professional tournament career started in 1982 and when he retired from professional competition in 1992 he had amassed a string of titles: He was a 4-time national open forms champion, along with 2 national weapons titles, and a top 5 rated middleweight fighter. He then began a career in film and television, his most recognizable role being Scorpion in Mortal Kombat. His accomplishments in martial arts training continued during this time; he was awarded his 8th degree Black Belt in Red Dragon Karate in 2004.
