Marco Lala began his martial arts journey at the age of 13 in Kenpo, moving to Kyokushin under Sensei Hioki, later with Shigeru Oyama, and going on to obtaining black belts in Judo & BJJ, becoming a full-contact champion and ultimately creating his own system TettsuBushi Jitsu, incorporating all rages of fighting. Made famous by a series of popular and dynamic instructional books and videos beginning in the 90s, made available again now. A martial artist, entreprepreneur, and modern philosopher. Just an awesome man and it was an honour and privilege to spend time with him. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

My guest Natan Levy signed to UFC, fighting out of Syndicate MMA in Las Vegas, by way of Israel. He has a background in Uechi-ryu Karate and switched to MMA with a Pro MMA Record of 6 wins with no losses, as well as cross training in Kyokushin Karate. Natan has a fantastic story, having traveled to Okinawa, Japan, to train in Karate as a teen, studied Kyokushin under Shihan Artur Hovhannisyan, traveling to Las Vegas to pursue his dream of fighting in the UFC, and fulfilling it. A fantastic conversation with a humble martial artist who is making a great name for himself. A real honour. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Shihan Tom Callahan was one of my first guest on The Martial Way, and today he joins me again to talk about The Mindset of a Martial Artist. Many people don't understand the mindset of a martial artist...the internal way you think about yourself and how it influences every aspect of your daily life . Most look at it as a way to fight. However, most people will never get into a fight . So, why do we train? Plus Kyokushin-kan, Ikken, seminars and so much more! I hope you enjoy!

When is it the right time to escalate and when is it time to peacefully deescalate the situation? Speaking poetically, carry the sword sheathed (this relates to kyokushin in terms of how Sosai imagined the kanji) , apparently Sosai "Oyama chose the kanji of Kyokushinkai (極真会) to resemble the samurai sword safely placed in its sheath." When do you unsheathe the metaphorical sword, and when you do, are you prepared for the consequences? Many references were made in the show, including Geoff Thompson, Joe Rogan, and Scott was trying to recall a story he thought was by Donn Draeger, about Sosai, but it was actually Christopher Caile, the founder and Editor-in-Chief of FightingArts.com. AND he butchered the story! Haha.

Shihan Janine Davies, 6th Dan, is the IFK Chief Referee , an international Chief Judge in Kata and also former European Champion in Kata. (Please note, I refer to her in the podcast as former "World" Champion in Kata. I apologize for the error.) Shihan Janine is respected worldwide for not only being a high-level Karate-ka, but as an incredible instructor at seminars. With amazing understanding and grasp of the intricacies of Kata. She discusses the highs and lows of her karate career, and leaves us with some amazing tips to apply to own learning.

Clip from my fantastic conversation with the Last Uchi Deshi of Sosai Mas Oyama. Nicholas Pettas emotionally shares what Sosai Mas Oyama meant to him, his passing and competing in the European Tournament. See the full conversation here: https://youtu.be/nuZHNcPDUrY Also, check out Nicholas' channel The Tokyo Show: https://www.youtube.com/user/nicholaspettas/ The Martial Way Podcast on Apple iTunes: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-martial-way-podcast/id1299884621 The Martial Way: http://the-martial-way.com

At the age of twenty-one, Nicholas Pettas completed the brutal 1,000-day Uchi-deshi program of Sosai Mas Oyama, which made him the second ever foreign graduate, and second non-Japanese, to ever finish the program (the first being Judd Reid, my first guest on this podcast), and he was the last uchi-deshi of Sosai Oyama, who died soon after his graduation. After graduating the programme, he competed in several tournaments and achieved many significant titles and honours such as the European Karate Heavyweight Champion in 1995, placing 5th and 3rd place in the World Championships, respectively in 1995 and 1997, and would go on to win the K-1 Japan Grand Prix Championship in 2001, in front of 70,000 people. He is currently a Japanese media personality, staring in several TV shows and movies, an entrepreneur, and became a Reebok Crossfit Ambassador and Trainer, playing a major role in its introduction to Japan. This is amazing conversation about his time as an Uchi-deshi and later careers. Emotional at times, and so insightful. I really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. OSU!
