Join Sifu Restita and Sifu Robert as they welcome Hanshi Daniel Hect, CEO of the prestigious Masters Hall of Fame. We'll talk about his martial history, his military service, and the Masters Hall of Fame!

Unfortunately, Hanshi Hect couldn't join us for the show due to unforeseen circumstances, so Sifu Robert and Sifu Restita discussed the Masters Hall of Fame. Both are Ambassadors and former inductees to the Masters Hall of Fame. They chatted about the organization, duties of Ambassadors, nomination requirements, etc. They also briefly discussed Self Defense and a shout-out to Sifu Helen Yee, who survived a gun assault by wits, not by "trying to be a hero".   Interesting chat!!!

Connectivity in the Digital Age... Please join Lyn and Andy when we talk about how the internet has changed how people market their business(es), compared to the old door-to-door-salesperson and word-of-mouth. We now find it easy to schedule appointments online, advertise, and network at the comforts of your home or smalle office space. We'll discuss analog and digital ways of hard copy vs virtual copy, the differences, and their respective pros and cons.   We want to invite you, especially those of you who are self-employed and would like to have ideas on marketing, to listen to this coming Tuesday's Century HealthTalk radio show. The show starts promptly at 8pm PDT, and we encourage you to call in during the live show at 347-677-0699.

Join Sifu Restita DeJesus and Sifu Robert Deahl as we have an open forum about "tradition in the modern martial arts world"

How important is "old school" tradition in modern martial arts venues? As a Koryu (classical) practitioner, do you feel that observance of the old ways of tradition is a way to understand the culture of the old days? As a modern practitioner, do you feel that traditions such as bowing, rank titles, etc are a relic to an era long past? Are you middle of the road, feeling that common courtesy is key? We'd like to hear from you!!!

Call in to join the discussion. All are welcome, regardless of style and rank. While debate is welcomed, we strive to keep the forum as mature of discussion as possible. No flaming or trolling will be allowed.

Our initial panel includes: Soke Gregg Wooldrige and Professor Patrick McDaniel. We also hope to hear from Guro Mark Stewart and Guro Wes Bennett.

Join Sifu Restita and Sifu Robert as they welcome Professor Patrick McDaniel, founder of the Ki Do Kai Kempo system.

The Ki Do Kan System is derived from Kajukembo . Professor McDaniel began studying Kajukembo Karate in 1973 at the age of 13, and promoted to black belt in 1977. He was promoted to certified instructor in 1988, endorsed by the Kajukenbo founder Sijo Adriano Emperado and received masters certification in 2002 under Master Richard Peralta. In 2004, he developed his method, "The Noble Way", i.e. "Ki Do Kan". Professor McDaniel is recognized by the World Black Belt Council, and is slated to be inducted into United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2013.

Professor McDaniel is also an avid bass guitarist, poem and philosophy writer, and I has a line of martial arts posters coming soon that will be on the market soon,powered by "Noble Concepts Unlimited."  He is also active in mentor programs for local children's organizations.  His biggest inspiration as a young boy was watching Jim Kelly who is also and African American, which told him " If I could do it, You can do it. "

Studies in music indicate that it is a natural healer. Researchers have discovered that blood flow and respiratory rates can synch with music, and that swelling crescendos - increases in volume - appear to induce moderate arousal while decrescendos induce relaxation. Proven to release dopamine responsible for pleasure, music shows promise in the treatment of mental and somatic illnesses. Similar research also suggest that it may be useful for patients with traumatic brain injury and as therapeutic intervention for problems associated with aging.

Please join us, Lyn Yancha, LMP and Andy Mayor (musician), for a discussion on how music played a healing part in their lives. Please call the live call-in number with your stories to share.

Bullwhip collectors and whip artistry enthusiasts, Join Sifu Restita and Sifu Robert as they welcome "Whip Wunderkind", Adam Winrich!

If you want to learn a great way to enhance your proprioception, coordination, awareness, and ambidexterity, you should take up bullwhip cracking....its NOT as easy as you think! In fact, most people injure themselves when they try to crack a whip a way they *think* it should be.

Join us for a conversation about TaiChi and QiGong with Sifu Restita DeJesus of Seattle Wushu Center and Aaron Irons of Harmonious Embodiment Arts.

TaiChi and QiGong (pronounced as chee-gong) are seen as little more than an unusual exercise practiced in the park by many people. There are even misconceptions that these movements are "easy" and are perfect for the fragile senior citizens. Lyn can attest that it is not. That is only an ilusion.

Our conversation will cover the benefits of practicing TaiChi/QiGong; practical applications in every day living; as well as being used in self-defense.

We welcome live calls. So mark your calendar and jot down the information: Tuesday, February 12, 2013. 8pm PST.
