    Adam Taggart: JKD Phd

    Adam Tags Taggart is a man on a mission, and he has just relocated to Illinois as he pursues a Phd studying the effects of martial arts on the brain. A personal fitness and martial arts instructor, Adam takes Mick through his discovery of cognitive kali, the fighters paradox, and his desire to learn and understand exactly why the arts do what they do for so many people. And this is an episode that will have to be followed up in future - we're claiming the exclusive interview here once his doctorate is published! This episode was recorded at the MKG Kali camp in Calshot in May 2018 and is produced by Ant McGinley and Mick Tully.

    How to become a stunt performer: Marc Rodrigues-Bernet

    Marc Rodrigues-Bernet is an upcoming actor, serving soldier, and martial artist. He is currently working towards making his way on to the British Equity Stunt Register which will give him an industry recognised competency process and the opportunity to start his career as a stunt performer. We caught up at the MKG camp in Calshot earlier this year, and in the process stumble across a potential moneyspinner for a Christmas book from your host Mick Tully. You can see Marc's youtube channel here including the excellent action short The Collector. Mick's Martial Arts is produced by Ant McGinley.

    Keith Priestly: Kyokushin Kyorkshireman

    Our 80th episode features a man who pulls no punches, physically and verbally. Keith Priestly is somebody Mick grew up reading about - a fearsome Kyokushin Fighter, an old school hardcore trainer, and an eternal student. He discusses his career, how he uses old training methods to continue to turn out champions, and bemoans the state of modern martial arts. And his opinions are just as strong as his punches, so don't be too surprised if some of them sting as in his own words, he's not afraid of upsetting anybody. Mick caught up with him at the Warriors Assemble Awards in May 2018, and another old friend of the show pops up to say hi. This episode marks 3 years since we launched this show - thank you for listening, and thank you to all our guests. If you enjoyed the show please spread the word and share amongst your friends.

    Robbie Hirst: Breaking Through Pain

    We're back after a little hiatus and what a way to jump back in! Recorded earlier this year at the Warriors Assemble awards, Mick sits down to talk with a young man who has overcome more than his fair share of obstacles on his way to his black belt in Tae Kown Do. A genetic condition means that Robbie Hirst has had more broken bones than every other guest we've had on the show COMBINED! Join him as he tells us how everyday tasks can lead to another break, yet that never gets in the way of his training. A truly inspirational interview, that also features possibly Mick's worst joke EVER. Stay tuned right to the end for that.

    Shae XS: Bare Knuckle Boxer

    This episodes guest is a man that many people think they know, but very few actually know. A guy who’s lived a life that has seen both ends of the spectrum in regard to what most people would consider ‘normal’. We cover everything from his time in the parachute regiment, time spent at her majesty’s pleasure, working in high profile close protection, his upcoming bare knuckle boxing world title fight, and how Jiu Jitsu has become a part of his path to redemption. No subject was avoided and more importantly for me personally, many can get a glimpse of the person and not the reputation, and then it’s up to you to make your mind up. There’s an old adage you should never judge a man unless you’ve walked a mile in his shoes.. and this episode goes a way to explain what that walk would entail.. sit back and listen to Mr Shae XS If you enjoyed the show please take the time to leave us a review and spread the word amongst your friends Mick's Martial Arts theme tune is performed by Katalina Kicks and appears with their kind permission Find out more about this amazing band at www.Katalinakicks.com This episode was produced by Luke Berry.

    Steve Mosley: History & Tradition

    I’d heard about this guys years before and he was more of an urban myth, one of the original guys to regularly visit LA and train at the world famous Inosanto academy, he then disappears for a number of years.. then reappears when he’s literally achieved mythic status. If that wasn’t enough, he then proceeds to post grainy footage of the pioneers of the UK JKD scene from old VHS that he’s kept for years. Personally, for me, it’s been a treat to watch a young Phil Norman looking like Sensi Terry Silver from karate kid, the ageless Rick Young making me more certain he’s the Benjamin Button of martial arts and finally the late Guro Colin Sherred looking every inch of the giant he was. Steve is back where he belongs, training, inspiring and teaching and being a great advert for progression as I follow his journey back with Guro Phil Norman in both JKD Kali elite and Ghost... a truly wonderful and lovely guy.. Guro Steve Moseley!!
