Most people believe they know how violence works.

But when reality hits, it’s faster, uglier, and more unpredictable than anything they trained for.

In this episode, Richard Dimitri - one of the world’s leading experts on violence - breaks down what people get wrong, and what you actually need to understand to deal with real-world situations.

As the creator of The Study of Violence, he shares insights that go far beyond techniques - into awareness, behavior, and how violence truly unfolds.

You’ll learn:
• Why most people misunderstand violence
• The key principles behind real-world self-defense
• How to think and respond under pressure

If you care about personal safety and understanding reality - not fantasy - this episode is essential.

Most people think martial arts is about fighting and techniques.

But that’s only the surface. Without the right mindset, it all falls apart - both in training and in life.

In this episode, I sit down with Michael Schjerling, head instructor of Bujinkan Kuki Taisho Dojo Copenhagen and 15th dan in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (Ninjutsu). We dive into the deeper meaning of martial arts - what it really means to have a warrior’s mindset, and how it shapes the way you handle life’s challenges.

This isn’t about being a “bad-ass assassin.” It’s about discipline, awareness, and developing a mindset you can rely on under pressure.

You’ll learn:
• What a true warrior mindset really is
• How martial arts apply beyond the dojo
• Why mindset matters more than technique

Hit play and discover what martial arts is really about.
