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!

Also, we do an announcement at the end.

Here's the next podcast episode, #32: Self-defense tips for young women. This will be a controversial one for some listeners, I'm well aware of it. But I believe it is more important to be as truthful as I can be than cater to popular belief that I know to be harmful. If it isn't for you, then I can only shrug and move on. Nobody forces you to listen to my stuff anyway, right? If it is for you, There is also a 45min. bonus episode to accompany this one over on Patreon.

In this episode, I take a closer look at the three most common mistakes students make in martial arts and self-defense classes. I've been teaching for a long time and have consistently seen these come up. They can be avoided though, which is what I also discuss here.
