Episode 107: Rafael Mattei

Listen Later

This week - a frank, hard-hitting, helpful discussion with Rafael Mattei - co-founding Instructor at Systema Puerto Rico, and a Federal Law Enforcement Agent with some serious experience facing bad guys in the field. Rafi is a prolific martial artist and a good friend to NC SYSTEMA, having taught workshops on groundfighting, weapons tactics and more.

Here, we talk about:

  • His path into martial arts, from Goju Ryu Karate and Muay Thai to BJJ and Systema
  • Testing it all for efficacy in the "fight lab", and then again in the field
  • The critical importance of self-regulation before, during, and after life-or-death situations
  • Advice for staying calm and prepared in the current global environment

    • Many thanks to Rafi for his time and insights.
