In this special edition of the Clubb Chimera Martial Arts podcast, we re-visit Halloween 1828 and the climax of a series of cold-blooded murders. Taking a self-protection eye, we look at how raw opportunity and circumstance tempted two infamous criminals to sell the lives of their own for profit. The podcast raises questions regarding victim selection and how it can be defeated through target hardening as well as the weaponising of alcohol by criminals, the importance of training against multiple attackers and on the ground, and the need to promote safeguarding in the community.

In this special unscheduled episode Jamie Clubb looks at the fallout of UFC 229: Khabib vs McGregor and takes a look at the relationship between promotion and professional combat sports. Hatred, charisma, wit, irresponsibility, theatre and hype are all ingredients that have helped create some of combat sport's most colourful characters and ensure they have become a part of history. But why are we still outraged and surprised when fighters step over perceived lines? What choices do we have?

In the second part of The Aftermath Jamie Clubb looks at the psychological impact on individuals following a conflict situation. From the extreme cases of the atrocities of World War I to dealing with self-recrimination over not acting in a certain way against an intimidating antagonist the black dog haunts many of us. This episode touches on the roots of this figure of fear and depression from its roots as a folkloric spectral being of British folklore to the metaphor that is often used today. Jamie also discusses the methods many use to combat the various physiological and psychological effects of the aftermath.

The first of a two-part episode. Jamie Clubb offers his thoughts and reflections on martial arts quests. He comments on the difference between dojo hoppers and martial arts cross trainers, and why he believes there is often a lot of incongruity in martial arts teaching. He provides insight into two of his three-point criteria for selecting classes that teach good self-defence skills.

Personal security concepts and pre-emptive striking discussed here have their basis in Jamie's training under Geoff Thompson and Matty Evans of the Real Combat Method as well as Mo Teague's Hard Target System. Weapon awareness comes from Steve Timperley's Knife and Edged Weapon Awareness Programme and the hard skill tactics describe come from Karl Tanswell's STAB programme and various concepts learnt from Mo Teague's teachings.
