Sabomnim Alain Burrese is a martial arts practitioner, instructor, and author from Montana.
I know how to fight. I've done that. But I wanna become a martial artist and better myself through martial arts and learn the skills and everything else that can go with learning a martial art...
It's so rare to have a guest here on the show that started training by himself. Sabomnim Alain Burrese read martial arts books as a child and started training what he learned in their backyard.

On this episode, Jeremy talks about one of the first martial art to set foot in America, Judo.
If we talk about martial arts, we often talk more about karate, taekwondo, and Brazilian jiujitsu that's why there are myths and misconceptions about it. Judo was created by the Japanese educator, Jigoro Kano in 1882. Judo is one of the first martial art that came to America and it is mostly known with its throws and takedowns. On today's episode, Jeremy talks about the history of Judo so listen to find out more!
Master Chris Natzke is a martial arts practitioner, instructor and a former national gold medallist from Colorado.
...He was just like your son when he came here five years ago, and that's where your son can be in five years. So you create this culture, right? Because you're not just developing great kickers and punchers, you're developing great human beings.
Not many of us came on a time where martial arts was not as popular as today that if you're a kid who wants to learn taekwondo or karate, its either there's no school in your area or all of the students are double your age. Master Chris Natzke is the latter because as a kid, his peers are all twenty-somethings. While he has a lot of awesome stories, one of the most notable was his time training with Bill "Superfoot" Wallace. You have to listen to find out more!
On today's episode, Jeremy talks about the issue of have we gone too far trying to stop bullying.
Bullying is a sensitive subject that has been an important part of public discussions, especially in the last two or three decades. Where did the conversation go? Have we gone too far trying to stop it or are we still lagging behind? On this episode, Jeremy talks about his personal experiences and how he was able to get through bullying.
Senpai Ricky White is a martial arts practitioner originally from the United Kingdom, now based in Virginia.
You've got to fail otherwise you're never gonna actually truly understand what you're trying to achieve and what it is that you actually need to overcome...
It's not everyday that we introduce guests that are listeners of the show and part of the community. Well, today is that day because Senpai Ricky White is one of them. Senpai White started his journey as a young child but took a break and came back, later on, to continue on his journey. He is diagnosed with a medical condition that is almost unique to him that brought pain everyday. However, Senpai White never stopped training and used martial arts as a form of treatment to his condition. Senpai Ricky White is an inspiration to us and you have to listen to find out more!
On this episode, Jeremy once again talks about another historical figure in the martial arts, Tangsoodo's Won Kuk Lee.
Universally, when we talk about Taekwondo, what comes to the conversation instantly is General Choi Hong Hi as he is called by many as the "Father of Taekwondo." Won Kuk Lee, is Choi's predecessor and teacher who essentially created taekwondo with the name Tang Soo Do Chung Do Kwan. Thus, it's safe to say that Won Kuk Lee is the "Grandfather of Taekwondo." Jeremy talks about his life in Korea during the war and how he was able to create tangsoodo. Listen to learn more!
Sensei Amanda Cass is a martial arts practitioner and instructor from Massachusetts.
One thing about martial arts that I always do say to people is, it's something that you can do forever, there something more to learn. It doesn't matter if you've been doing it for five, ten, twenty years, there's always a new avenue you can explore...
It's always great to hear that martial artists start their journey at a young age and stay until they're adults. What's more inspiring is when the whole family is also involved in your journey. Sensei Amanda Cass started training at a tender age of 8 because of her mom wanting to go back to martial arts while her children are also into the martial arts. It's a true family affair but Sensei Amanda Cass has always gravitated to martial arts because of the great community and the people that she serves in the martial arts. Aside from her worthy Instagram stories, there's more to her than meets the eye. Listen to find out more!
On today's episode, Jeremy talks about the importance and benefits of friendships in the martial arts.
We create friendships as we meet people as a kid in high school and as an adult working in the office. Some we let go, and some we keep for a long time. Our friendships are usually based on similarities like our location, interest and how we see the world. Most martial artists share interests with self-defense and the bond starts there. As martial artists, we usually don't treasure the training and the stuff we do at events but we remember the friendships we create. Listen to find out more!
