Tune in this Sunday at 6 pm Pacific, as we discuss traditional martial arts and mixed martial arts. So many people think their own art is above all else, and we're here to discuss the concept of "its the artist, not the style". What are the pros and cons of each? Can a practitioner cross train in both? Why do people think that  MMA is primarily just Brazilian JuJitsu? Call us at 347-677-0699 to discuss these questions and more, and give us your thoughts on traditional and modern mixed arts! If you've experienced flack for being "too modern" or "too traditional", or if you've admittedly been one of those people who held an elitist attitude that held your style above all else, call us on show night and let's discuss!

Sunday Brunch Episode! Join Restita and Robert as they revisit the subject of "etiqutte and protocol" in martial arts. Are these rules of manners and behavior mandatory to observe in order to call oneself a "martial artist"? Or, do you believe that such traditions are simply antiquated customs from a bygone era?  We want to hear from YOU!

Join Restita and Robert as they welcome shooting instructors Kent Turnipseed and his longtime student/assistant Alan Egusa to the show! Kent Turnipseed is the founder of the Turnipseed method of shooting. From traditional martial arts Kent adopted the principles of balance, skeletal alignment, muscle relaxation and body indexing which he used to develop a shooting method that utilizes proper body mechanics. It is both strong and relaxed at the same time, and is inherently mobile. It is the modern martial art of shooting firearms. This technique, while highly ideal for women, is perfect for men as well. The training is based on awareness and proper body mechanics, not strength.  Listen live if you're interested in learning to shoot, or are already an experienced shooter that hasn't yet tried the Turnipseed technique. Call in with your questions!

Did you know that your thoughts are real things? Someone thought about flying like birds and ended up being a real thing called an airplane. Someone thought about getting from point A to point B in a motorized vehicle and came up with an automobile. Your brain emits radiation energy to the world around you. Energy can neither be created or destroyed So that wave of radiation continues on forever as it difuses the farther away it gets from the source. Like attracts like. So waves of energy with similar frequencies are attracted to the source that emits a like frequency. Everything is made of energy. Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons are the building blocks of atoms. Think about things as if they are already apart of your life. Join Lyn and Andy and discuss the practice the Law of Attraction: Thought Manifestation.
