Who knew what watching a Lord of the Rings again could trigger? Seriously, limiting principles or self-imposed limitations are worth exploring yet all too often overlooked. Enjoy!

Then we look forward to what comes next.

We've both been busy for the last year, so it took Iain Abernethy and me this long to get another crossover podcast done. This time, we asked listeners to tell us their pet peeves and we then first steel-manned them to follow up with weak-manning them. The goal was to look for different angles to each one, nuance, and so on. As always, it was loads of fun for us to discuss all this and there will be a Part 2 soon. Enjoy!

The next crossover podcast with Iain Abernathy is coming up soon and one of the questions we received for it triggered this episode here: what are some of the important principles of conditioning for martial arts and self-defense? Not what the "influencers" on social media say, but what sports science actually says? I cover this and more in this episode.

Enjoy!

It was way too long since I talked to Kris Wilder and I'm happy to say he accepted my invitation to interview him right away. We had an amazing talk covering a wide range of topics relevant to martial arts, self-defense, karate, and much more. We continued to record a second part in which Kris answers the questions from my Patrons.
