Episode 532 - Sensei Ron Kluger

Sensei Ron Kluger is a martial arts practitioner and instructor based in Israel. He's the head of Karatedo International.

In my opinion, to be a fine martial artist is one thing and to be a fine teacher you need both. You need to be a fine technician and a fine teacher. You need to Invest in both important factors.

Sensei Ron Kluger - Episode 352

When you talk about Israeli martial artist, you would immediately think about Krav Maga. For some reason, Sensei Ron Kluger is not one of those for a simple reason that when he was starting at 12 years old, Judo was the only one available for him to train on. Sensei Ron Kluger found himself training in a good dojo and trainer that's why he never went back. Presently, he is the Head of Karate Do International and Rector at the International Budo Academy. We had a lot of international martial artists in the show and Sensei Ron Kluger is definitely one of the best. Listen to learn more!

Episode 526 - Mr. Jason Brick

Mr. Jason Brick is a martial arts practitioner, a successful Journalist, and a host of an upcoming podcast!

I like that experience from martial arts that being told over and over again; "That's not right, do it again." In a way, I know my Sifu wasn't' angry with me, I was just doing it wrong and I was expected to fix it. It absolutely contributed to my success as a journalist and also my success as a parent and spouse.

Mr. Jason Brick - Episode 526

The influence of our parents is monumental to children and that case is true for our guest today. Mr. Jason Brick was influenced by his father, who has an affinity for wrestling, to start training in 7th grade. Being exposed to wrestling first, Mr. Brick transitioned to Kempo without any complications. Mr. Brick's dedication to the martial arts also enabled him to become the best journalist and father that he can be. As a father, he is a staunch advocate of a safe home that's why he created the upcoming Safest Family on the Block Podcast that talks about protecting the family with our martial arts skills. Listen as Mr. John Brick talks about his life and journey to the martial arts!
