JEFF LIBOIRON | Artists Should Be Pugilists

Listen Later

Jeff Liboiron is a martial artist, voice over performer, fiction and non-fiction author, and most recently, poet.

It was his poetry that brought him to my attention. His writing is vivid, brutal, and real. It revels in graphic violence, blades and flowing blood, dark skies, screams, and steel. And the celebration of a crumbling empire's final, fatal collapse... and the dangerous world its corpse will leave behind.

In our conversation we discussed:

  • How being born without half a leg influences his approach to fighting and martial arts
  • The notion of a behavioral delivery system for how to communicate that you're a dangerous person before you have to demonstrate it
  • The limitations of most martial arts trainings in term of real-world applicability
  • The story of his books, including a description of his novel Onwards, a post-apocalyptic story of grief and revenge
  • And finally, a discussion of Roman McClay's novel "Sanction" and what it taught him about himself, as it's done for many men, including me

    • Indeed, as I hope you’ll see, Jeff is very much a warrior poet.
