Wim Demeere Podcast

Dan Trailescu is a martial arts and self-defense instructor from Europe who has an interesting take on things. We talked about most everything related to these two in this interview and it was tons of fun. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did talking to Dan.

Young folks, old philosophers, and vampires. Seemingly unrelated, but I touch on all of these and much more in this episode on how you can age as a martial arts instructor. How things change and how I'm going about it.

Enjoy!

I had a great time doing an interview with Maija Soderholm for the podcast. We got to talk about Arnis and Filipino martial arts, knives, knife design, her books, her views on martial arts and self-defense, and of course, what it was like to train with her teacher, Maestro Sonny Umpad.In the bonus episode on Patreon, she answers questions from my Patrons and she also shows us her new knife design!

I share some thoughts on how you can use filters of violence to look at incidents and learn from them. By consciously switching these filters, you can avoid being blindsided by your own biases or lack of specific experience. In the end, they help you discover more information that you can then use to keep yourself safe.

A new year, a new podcast episode. I give a few updates in this one and then answer Brian's question on martial arts and self-defense training for the older and elderly. We all get old, but that doesn't mean you have to go gently into that good night. So I'll give you my thoughts on how to train when you're no longer filled with the strength of youth. Enjoy!

2020 has been an... "interesting" year, to put it mildly; I look back on what that meant for my blog, podcast and other activities. Then a look into the future at what 2021 might bring.

In the previous episode, we talked about the worst possible martial arts advice you can get. So it is only fair we talk about the best advice in return and that's what this episode is all about.
