Tyson Larone is a BJJ belt, a Muay Thai teacher, TEDx speaker, and a strongman competitor. In this episode he and I dive deep into exploring how BJJ can be used for self defense, including how context changes everything in self defense… adaptations that women and smaller people need to make… the problems with the one time self defense seminar model… the need for force-multipliers and whether guns can act as that force multiplier… the single biggest thing any man can do to keep the women in his life safe and more. We also perceptions and expressions of masculinity, conservative-appearing privilege, and much more. As always, Tyson brings receipts for everything he says.

IMPORTANT: This podcast was recorded in early December 2024 but only released in early January 2025. Therefore some of the dates referenced are incorrect. Tyson's flashlight course IS currently available (at gethomesafe.online), Stephan STILL wants his Christmas presents, and his William Shirer Kindle offer is valid until the end of January 2025
