March 29, 2019The Way of the Wolf Part II
Send us a text
Martial arts marketing meets the ways of the contrapreneur and the psychopathic predator. Should we be wary of the soft skills we teach in self-protection? Can a McDojo ever be honest?

This episode picks up with the magical realism of Angela Carter and her understanding of the both predatory danger presented in the wolf allegory and its allure. Then we look at the machismo of predatory salesmanship and how it attracts martial artists.

February 10, 2019The Way of the Wolf Part I
Send us a text
The wolf is a powerful icon and metaphor, used to exemplify a particular type of predator. . Wolves and humans have long shared hunting grounds, resulting in the extinction of wolves in some regions of the world and the earliest domesticaion of a species of wolf in the form of the dog. Human society has cast "The Big Bad Wolf" as the leading symbol for the main villain of any narrative. Balanced against this, humans have also derived many positive attributes from the wolf. However, amidst the confusion between metaphor and fantasy, other ideas have fed into the human society. This has ended up in the martial arts and self-protection subculture.

This episode takes a critical look at Gavin de Becker's book "The Gift of Fear" (and the mainstream culture that promoted it) in exploring human predator warning signals, revealing the disturbing fact that the very same warning signs self-protection teachers recommend their students look out for in offenders are also being used to recruit students to their class...

January 19, 2019The Way of the White Moth
Send us a text
Attitude is arguably the most important component of self-protection. Without attitude, awareness is worth nothing and neither is anything else. In the first episode of the second season of the Clubb Chimera Martial Arts podcast Jamie Clubb looks at one of the most contentious aspects behind a survival attitude.

By starting with an ancient poem as his starting point this episode touches upon a wide range of topics, including discipline, temptation, fear, WWI trenches, stoicism and, above all, hope.
