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.

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.

Part 2 is a megalodon of an episode with over 80% new material. After an examination of some of the criticism thrown at Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Submission Grappling, including a conspiracy theory surrounding UFC 1, we dive back into the history of modern ground fighting.

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.

This episode covers the second half George Foreman's boxing career. Foreman was once the most feared boxer of his generation, but time has moved on. He has evolved into a minister and runs a youth centre. George's contemporaries, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton and Muhammad Ali, are all long into their respective retirements. However, with a huge family to support and the centre haemorrhaging cash, the big man considers the unthinkable. Facing a wall of disdain and criticism from the Boxing community - supported only by the man who took his title away, Ali, - George Foreman takes the difficult journey back to the prize ring. However, this is not some exhibition tour or a few fights to make a quick buck. Big George wants to become the heavyweight champion of the world again.

This episode covers the first half George Foreman's boxing career. Foreman was once the most feared boxer of his generation. An angry man, he ploughed his way through the heavyweight division until he faced the legendary Muhammad Ali. Foreman's early career saw a large amount of foreshadowing, such how fear was used as a weapon but also how love could also win the day.

Send us a text On this special Christmas and end of year/season episode of the show, we welcome back polymath mixed martial artist and sports therapist Rosi Sexton. Recorded during the summer of 2024 it provides a useful record of how confirmation bias work and critical thinking is lacking in martial arts and greater society. Following our in depth discussion, I talk about the continuing issues regarding manufactured outrage, including the supposed "War on Christmas", as well as reflections on some of this year's major Boxing bouts. All of this plus a reflection on CCMA's extremely busy year.

Send us a text Lee Hasdell is often known as "The Godfather of UK MMA" and for good reason. He discovered the burgeoning new limited rules fighting scene in Japan before the first UFC shook the martial arts world to its foundations. Already a successful nak muay and kickboxer who had fought internationally under some of the biggest pioneers of the sport and earning several titles at the time, he switched to MMA and began promoting the first incarnations of this new sport in the 1990s. He quickly became a controversial and revered figure. However, Lee's scope stretches far further than competing in, teaching and promoting professional combat sports. He has a deep respect for traditional martial arts, was one of the original reality revolutionaries on the self-protection circuit and a sophisticated cross-trainer who gathers insight from a range of disciplines outside of combative systems. On this episode Lee shares his insights into Combudo, an organisation and approach to martial arts, combat sports and self-p
