The Ballad of Igor - Chapter III - An Ugly Interlude (Halloween Episode)

Taking the quote "...determined to prove a villain" from Richard III, we explore the dangers of the self-fulfilling prophesy of physical aesthetics and crime. Our "Igor" from true is the "hobgoblin" Charles Peace, an especially notorious cat-burglar and murderer of the Victorian era. We learn lessons regarding allowing all sort of boundaries being breached.

The Way of the Shark Redux Part 3

My extended, re-written and re-recorded deep dive into and critical analysis of ground-fighting, submission grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes to a close. On this episode I look at recent criticism made against the original UFC and the Gracie influence. This episode also discusses criticism levelled against the claim that most fights end up on the ground. Finally, we review grappling and ground-fighting's place(s) in martial arts and self-defence.

The Way of the Shark (part one) Redux

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the motion picture "Jaws", I present a re-recording of "The Way of the Shark" with a new 8-minute introduction. Part one of this classic podcast looks at the rise of ground grappling in the mid 1990s. Jean Jacques Machado once said "I am a shark, the ground is my ocean, and most people don’t know how to swim." It had been a year since Brazilian Jiu Jitsu had shocked the martial arts community and attracted worldwide attempt when they used a "no-holds-barred" televised event to prove their art was superior to all others. For the best part of the 20th century and even before then, ground fighting had been an art despised by the greater world of martial artists. It had become a dirty little secret that had developed into a secret weapon. This is the story of its raise to mainstream acceptance.
