I first became aware of Marcus Charles through Facebook, although we'd never met we had so much in common, a love of Martial arts, JKD,CSW and Kali in particular, Boxing and Boxer dogs! Marcus is an JKD/Kali Weapons and Self-Defense Instructor. He has taught various Military, Law Enforcement, and civilian agencies. Marcus has been training and teaching since the age of 20. He fell in love with physical fitness at the age of 16 afer seeing and reading about Arnold Schwarzenegger. His love of bodybuilding changed to martial arts after reading an article in Muscle and Fitness magazine about Arnold's admiration of Bruce Lee. Living on the Southside of Chicago and being a security bouncer for many years, Marcus has had many encounters where he has had to defend himself. Marcus’ goal for his students is to combine the athletic training of MMA with the Self-Defense drills of various arts to make his students grow to their full potential. This episode of Mick's Martial Arts is from me, Mick Tully and was produced by Luke Berry for Abrupt Audio. At the end is a clip of our brand new comedy show 'Get Happy'.
