Listen Later

We talk with Pow about his upbringing as a first generation immigrant and his experiences through bullying and self-discovery, his early street education as a "hustler" and his commitment to something greater after 9/11.  We discuss his exciting military career as a former Counter-Terrorist Operations Analyst for United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and how he found Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu through his time overseas.  He discusses his new venture, the opening of The Compound BJJ Muai-Thai Combatives in Washington DC and how he is applying a new and novel reexamination of the martial arts philosophy around bringing together knowledge from any and all arts as the Mission of The Compound. Lastly, Pow shares his strategies on maintaining a playful mindset and gives us all a piece of advice to not take life and ourselves too seriously because after all, it is only a game.
