Tony on the Tim Larkin Podcast
You’ve been an instructor of the Martial Arts for a long time, studied self defense an violence for over 40 years; what is the ONE thing you would teach someone if you only had 1 hour with them?
I teach martial arts (Karate) one thing I preach is Self Defense, i’d like to make my instruction more meaningful, how can I do that?
You posted: This idea is counterintuitive – your teacher isn’t your teacher, the bad guy is your teacher.
Because in a truly violent encounter, the bad guy picks the time, the place, and the attack.
You Don’t Need To Be A Blackbelt To Defend Yourself – What do you mean with that?
“Don’t confuse technical with tactical”
Where do you put “breath practice” on your scale of helping your Self Defense practice?
One of the very few Combatives experts who crosses over with all the combat related communities: self-defense, combat sports, and military/law enforcement. – What is the difference between each of those mindsets as it relates to combat/self defense?
You’ve created a Self Defense class or system for CrossFit, can you talk about how that came about and how you approached the curriculum for it?
How do you deal with the people who critique you publicly or even privately that don’t really seem to know about the reality of violence. AKA the McDojo Sensei
The KNOW FEAR® program which focuses on managing fear through
