Send us a text Unified Fighting Systems founder, AG Martial Arts Centre owner, therapist and author, Andy Gibney returns to the show asking the question: "Is Bruce Lee still relevant?" Bruce Lee is an undeniable icon - at least for the Baby Boomer and Generation X age groups. However, what is his position and influence today? How important is a discussion about him in the martial arts world or even in his own legacy of Jeet Kune Do?  Being a master instructor under original Bruce Lee student, Richard Bustillo, Andy provides an insightful and honest view on these subjects (along with several others).  Unified Fighting Systems Andy Gibney author website Andy Gibney books Music for the Outro:  "Titans" by Cold CinemaLink: https://bit.ly/3HjGhpV Support the show Support the show Support me on Patreon Buy "When Parents Aren't Around" Audiobook Clubb Chimera Website Clubb Chimera Martial Arts Facebook Group Clubb Chimera Facebook Page Clubb Chimera Twitter Clubb Chimera YouTube Clubb Chimera Instagra

Send us a text Originally published as a vlog in 2021, this episode lays down my philosophical outlook on combative disciplines. I essentially see them to be three tribes that overlap far more than some would like to admit. On this show we look at the valid and invalid criticisms thrown against them from rival camps and outside. Finally, we take a look at the problem with "stylism".  Music for the Outro:  "Titans" by Cold CinemaLink: https://bit.ly/3HjGhpV Support the show Support the show Support me on Patreon Buy "When Parents Aren't Around" Audiobook Clubb Chimera Website Clubb Chimera Martial Arts Facebook Group Clubb Chimera Facebook Page Clubb Chimera Twitter Clubb Chimera YouTube Clubb Chimera Instagram Jamie Clubb Books Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a text Dr Rosi Sexton is a Mixed Martial Arts polymath. A grade 8 level pianist and grade 7 level cellist who performed at the Royal Albert Hall when she was just 17, she achieved a first at Trinity College Cambridge, a MsC and PhD at Manchester in Mathematics and Computer Science, but left it all behind to pursue a career in Octagon. Already possessing black belts in Taekwondo and traditional Jujutsu, she took up Mixed Martial Arts and became first British woman to fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. She retired from professional fighting having won two titles in two different divisions in Cage Warriors and BodogFight, and gainer her black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Today, in addition to becoming an excellent climber, Rosi continues to teach martial arts and self-protection, but her main career is sports therapy and osteopathy. I take full advantage of the latter of these skills on this show by moaning to her about my various ailments.  Olton Health and Performance Combat Sports Clinic

Send us a text Chapter IV - Escaping the Vultures We pick up on our series dedicated to self-protection as it relates to opportunistic predators. After a brief look at the unfair reputation real vultures receive, we return to the serial killers mentioned in the first chapter.  The episode touches upon some real-life examples of Gavin De Becker's survival signals, the double tap, an asymmetrical assault changing to symmetrical with the de-escalation fallout, tactical escape and a broader view of long-term self-protection - why empathy is important to protect the ones we love from society's scavenging predators.  Haarmann, The Story of a Werewolf  by Theodor Lessing (The Monsters of Weimar) Killing for Company by Brian Masters The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer by Brian Masters My Life Among the Serial Killers by Helen Morrison  Serial Killers: The Growing Menace by Joel Norris The Long Shadow Des (Guardian article) Drink Spiking Myths Metropolitan Police Website Drug-Spiking Reports Rise Fivefold Memorie

Send us a text Mo Teague is a teacher with a tremendous CV in both real-world application (military, professional and civilian) and martial arts training. His life has long been one of discovery, exploration and reality checks. It has also involved a lot of conflict. Much has been said and discussed about his external conflicts. However, on this episode we touch upon internal divisions through the concept of identity. Mo discusses how identities imposed upon us directly affect our choices and how we might craft our own identities in a positive way, laying the foundation on values and beliefs. Mo is perhaps the biggest all round influence on my teaching methods and martial arts education. With the podcast now in its seventh season this discussion is long overdue.  Tactical Research and Development Group  Mo Teague on LinkedIn Mo Teague interviewed by Matt Stait Music for the Outro:  "Titans" by Cold CinemaLink: https://bit.ly/3HjGhpV Support the show Support the show Support me on Patreon Buy "When Pa

Send us a text Chapter III - Crime Opportunity TheoryAs we pick back up on our "The Way of the Vulture" series focusing on opportunistic crimes and criminals, and the self-protection lessons we can take from them, we look at Opportunity Theory. This was an approach to criminology that the its adherents believed had more direct benefits than previous ideas. In this third chapter (second episode) we will look at how much of this idea holds up and what are its limitations.  Support this show Previous part and chapters of this show Opportunity Makes the Thief Hunting Humans Serial Killers: The Growing Menace Alice Miller's Books My Life Among Serial Killers Music for this episode:"Dark Music - Creepy Music Box" by Terra Fantasy Music Music for the Outro:  "Titans" by Cold CinemaLink: https://bit.ly/3HjGhpV Support the show Support the show Support me on Patreon Buy "When Parents Aren't Around" Audiobook Clubb Chimera Website Clubb Chimera Martial Arts Facebook Group Clubb Chimera Facebook Page Clu

Send us a text Unified Fighting Systems founder, AG Martial Arts Centre owner, therapist and author, Andy Gibney joins the show for a look back at a childhood favourite. Taking the "Everything is Martial Arts" concept in an interesting direction, we look at the gentle world of A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh and discuss its influence and connections to martial arts. Far from living up to the moniker "a bear with very little brain", Pooh might be a childhood gateway to critical thinking. Whereas owl presents us with the model of the flawed teacher. With fear being such an important area of understanding in self-protection, Piglet provides a certain perspective. Meanwhile Tigger and Eeyore provide us with opposite extremes of emotion whilst also potentially showing the benefits of enthusiasm and stoicism. There's a lot to unpack!

Send us a text Support the showWe begin our study of opportunistic crimes and their unique brand of predator. Chapter 1 - Detective Haarmann - Where we are introduced to a grisly opportunist who first terrified and then revolted the inhabitants of inter-war Hanover, Germany. Fritz "The Wolf-Man" Haarmann, a lazy, unintelligent, habitual crook and child molester, took full advantage of the desperate environment that surrounded him. Chapter 2 - The Opportunistic Predator - We break down what a threat means in self-protection and focus on the opportunity element. This leads us on to criminals who are disorganised in their methods and focus on opportunity.
