Wim Demeere Podcast

In this episode, I give you an update on what's been going on, including one wicked cool surprise. Then I talk in-depth about the instructional video I'm filming in two weeks: Basic Self-Defense. It's a program I've been teaching for the last 20+ years and I'm excited to share it with you all. With a bit of luck, it'll be available at the end of the month.

The show ends with a Q&A on how to condition your shinbones for muay Thay and kicking in general.

Enjoy!

Whatever martial art or self-defense system you train in, eventually you are faced with injuries. Either you suffer one or you have to help somebody else. In a street-fight or a self-defense situation, you or a friend or loved one can get seriously injured too. What do you do then? What should you do before the ambulance arrives or before you can get to a hospital?

In this episode, paramedic Doug Wittrock covers the most common injuries that result from physical violence and explains the best practices on how to handle them.

Enjoy!

In this episode, I talk about something that has been on my mind a lot these last few years: how martial arts work as systems. They all have specific components, a structure and an internal logic, which can differ wildly from one art to the next. I dig into this a bit to explain why a lot of discussions about martial arts and self-defense systems go wrong all too often.

Enjoy!

One of my Patrons asked if I could give some tips about taking good notes of your martial arts and self-defense techniques. He struggled with it during seminars and is looking for some information on how to do it better.

I take a lot of notes myself and have devised my own system over the years. In this episode, I share some of the most key aspects of efficient note-taking for the long term.

In this episode, I interview karate expert Iain Abernethy. He is one of the most popular instructors today and travels the world teaching seminars. He is most known for his approach to "bunkai", which are the applications of the movements in kata. We discuss this and much more during the interview.

After we stopped recording, Iain proposed a project we could both work on and I said yes. It'll take a bit of time, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it. We'll let you know when it's ready.

No interview this episode due to circumstances, so I made another episode answering a question from one of my Patrons: how to analyze videos of a violent incident. I explain some of the factors I take into account and how you can use the information for your own self-defense needs.

We're at episode 15 now and in this one, I interview Captain Jon Lupo of the New York State Troopers. I've known Jon for a long time and he's a solid, stand-up guy. I wanted him on the show to let him share his experience in law enforcement with us all and ask some specific questions relating to self-defense and the law. I think you'll enjoy it!

The reason this episode is a few days late is because I did a book launch last week and it took up all my time. As of then, you can get my Heavy Bag Training book again in paper and electronic version. That said, let's start the show:

I have a cold, so you'll notice I sound a bit differnt in this episode. Regardless, in this one I cover some updates, do a Q&A, but most of all I give my thoughts on gun control. It all started over something I posted on my Facebook page which prompted me to talk about it in this episode. My goal is to explain how I see this topic in general, a basic introduction if you will. I hope you find it useful.
