    Rebuilding - A Discussion with Rosi Sexton

    Rebuilding - A Discussion with Rosi Sexton

    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.

    The Way of the Vulture Part III

    The Way of the Vulture Part III

    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.

    Identity - A Discussion with Mo Teague

    Identity - A Discussion with Mo Teague

    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.
