Global Love Day is the universal recognition of our innate oneness through love. It is our vision to unite one and all in a celebration of love and compassion. Join people around the world in celebrating and expanding LOVE.

We are one humanity on this planet.

All life is interconnected and interdependent.

All share in the Universal bond of love.

Love begins with self acceptance and forgiveness.

With respect and compassion we embrace diversity.

Together we make a difference through love.

When we come from this limitless love we naturally and easily embrace ourselves and our fellow humanity. Opening our heart, we allow unconditional love to be our guide and compassion to be our gift to life.

We invite you to celebrate with us by consciously focusing on love and what it means to you throughout this day. We hope that by practicing love in all areas of your life, you will find it easy to love unconditionally all year long. Our main theme explains it best..."Love Begins With Me"

Be a part of it. Spread the word. Share your love.

Join Restita and Bob on Sunday April 24th at 6:00 pm Pacific Time, as they discuss "Personal relationships in the Dojo".   Call us at (347) 677-0699 to join the conversation and share your thoughts. We open the phone lines at approximately 6:30 pm, after our first segment.

The Dojo is a lifestyle venue for many, and because of that, developing a relationship with others is part of the lifestyle. However, what is appropriate and what isn't? In many schools, the students become a "family", and just like families, there's the possibility of family-type relationship. There are typical student-teacher relationship, friendships between student ranks, junior/senior student "brother/sister" relationships, "Sempai-Kohai" relationships, even romantic relationships.

However, what is considered as "allowed" in Dojo relationships? Its one thing for a group to go to dinner at a restaurant, but is it appropriate for students to date each other? Then there's the controversy about Teachers dating students. Where is the line drawn? Should there be a line?

Call in and share you thoughts about this subject. (347) 677-0699

Join Restita and Bob as they discuss the challenges, emotions, victories, personal setbacks etc that some martial arts practitioners go through as they walk the martial path. The road isn't always smooth, and while some quit martial arts because of the difficulties, many more stay.

As martial artists, some of us know about the "love it one day, hate it another". It has nothing to do with the martial arts themselves, but rather, us. The challenges, the victories....let's discuss!

Join us Sunday March 27th at 6:00 pm Pacific Time, as Restita & Bob discuss the pros and cons of cross training in Martial Arts.  Call us at (347) 677-0699 to join the discussion.

Modern MMA has been assumed by some to be the only system that does "cross training", however is that the ONLY system that does so? What are the pros and cons of cross training? Should there be a specific time in one's timeline of training where he/she could get the best advantages of cross training? What about instructors that forbid any type of cross training for their students? Tune in as Restita, Bob, and several martial arts masters discuss this topic. Join the conversation by calling (347) 677-0699.....we'd love to hear from our listeners!

Sunday March 20th, 11:00 a.m.  Sunday Brunch Show!  Call in number (347) 677-0699

Please help us welcome World Champion kickboxer, Kathy Long! Starting today, she will be joining Restita and Bob once a quarter as a guest co-host. The trio will answer martial arts related questions, Kathy can answer questions about her career, philosophies, etc. It will be a fun show when the "Terrific Trio" gets on the mic!

Give us a call to ask Kathy any questions, suggest a topic for open discussion, or to just join us all for a fun round-table chit chat about martial arts and the martial arts industry!

3/13/2016 6:00 PM Pacific Time!

Its open floor at the Dojo tonight! Talk about anything martial arts related. Are you a student of the arts and have a question? Call in and we'll answer the best we can or get someone that can answer! Call in just to say "Hi" and let's talk Shop!

A couple topics we already have on the list: "Old School training"--do some schools shy away from some types of training?...is it because they're worried about parents suing them? Negligence is one thing, but if parents let their kids play football why are they overly worried about martial arts?  "Music in the Dojo"....does it help or hinder the training?

Call in and put in your 2 cents...or talk about anything else! Open Floor!
