The Dark Side Of Karate Book: https://amzn.to/4ymejDl
It only takes 30 seconds online to find martial artists arguing over which style is the best. Style vs. style, endless debates, and unnecessary division.
But my experience at an open mat showed something completely different.
Martial artists from different backgrounds trained together, shared knowledge, challenged each other with respect, and left as better martial artists. No egos. No arguments. Just people united by a passion for learning.
Imagine how much stronger our martial arts community could be if more clubs opened their doors to each other instead of building walls.
I believe every martial artist should visit other clubs, attend open mats, and train with people from different styles. We have far more to learn from one another than to argue about.

Ever wondered what your karate grading panel is really thinking?
In this episode of Anxious Black Belt, Les Bubka takes you behind the grading table to reveal what examiners look for during a karate grading, why a black belt is only the beginning of the journey, and how anxiety can distort our perception of being judged.
Whether you're preparing for your first belt, a black belt grading, or simply struggle with performance anxiety, this episode offers reassurance, practical insights, and a unique perspective from someone who has experienced both sides of the examination.
