Wim Demeere Podcast

It's finally here! After loads of blood, sweat, and tears, Boxing for Self-Defense is published. Both the ebook and paperback versions are available right now and non-Amazon retailers will follow soon. It's been a road filled with difficulties to both write this book and then get it published. In this episode, I talk about that, what the book is, about and what comes next.

It took more time than I would have liked, but here is the interview I did with Tammy Yard-McCracken. She is a psychotherapist, Krav Mage instructor, Violence Dynamics instructor and much, much more. I very much enjoyed talking to her about her approach to teaching self-defense and everything else we got to cover.

The bonus episode where Tammy answers questions from my Patrons is right here.

Took longer than I wanted, but here's the interview with Alain Burrese I promised you all. Alain is a great guy and has loads of training and experience. He's written some excellent books, not least of which his latest one on how to survive a shooting. We talk about that and a lot more during this episode. We also did a bonus episode on my Patreon page right here. For the show notes with all the links, go to http://www.wimsblog.com/41 Enjoy!

I am traveling and have limited time on the computer, which is why the episodes are late. But here is the promised podcast interview with Marc MacYoung. We talked about all sorts of topics and I think you'll enjoy this episode a lot. For the show notes with all the links, go to http://www.wimsblog.com/40 Enjoy!

In this one, Iain Abernethy and I talk about teaching from our specific expertise: He does lots of seminars, I do lots of private teaching. We thought it would be interesting for you to hear us talk shop about the way our experience is both similar and different. I certainly had a lot of fun in this talk and learned a lot. There is also a bonus episode, in which Iain and I keep talking and share some behind the scenes stuff. For the show notes with all the links, go to http://www.wimsblog.com/39 Enjoy!

This Tuesday, October 15, it will be exactly twenty years since I started my very first website. My blog today grew out of those humble beginnings and it's been quite a journey! In this episode, I talk about the ups and downs, funny and great things that happened along the way and how I will celebrate this anniversary with a deluge of podcasts this month.

This episode of the podcast has the Randy King interview I mentioned a while ago. We had a blast talking about self-defense and teaching it and I'm sure you'll enjoy it a lot. If all goes well, I'll do another Randy King interview here on the podcast in the future, perhaps when his new book comes out. In the meantime, enjoy the show!

This podcast came about because a few things came together one after the other. It got me thinking about all those silly (heated) arguments on the internet about martial arts and self-defense. We all know these happen, but what would be a better way to discuss these topics? That's what this episode is all about.

This was a fun interview with Nick Osipczak, former MMA fighter in the UFC and tai chi chuan practitioner. We talk about his fights and training, how gegot started with Tai Chi Chuan, his painting, CBD business and lots more.

We had some issues with the connection every now and then, so keep listening if it cuts out occasionally.

Last June, I did a special Q&A month on Patreon. I didn't get to all the questions, so I am working my way through them in various places, including in this podcast. Carlos asked me about the effectiveness of Pentjak Silat and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense. In this episode, I try to give a nuanced opinion on both these arts. Enjoy!
