The TaeKwonDaddy Podcast Logan Ramirez

Hard work matters.  We all know it.  But few really live it and even fewer exemplify what hard work really is better than former NFL player and now (2020) head coach of Trinity University.  Raised on a cattle farm in South Texas, Jerheme learned about hard work at a young age and those lessons laid the foundation for what would become his character and by virtually every standard make him a successful human being.  He now attempts to lay that foundation for those he encounters including student athletes that attend NCAA Division III Trinity University, his family, and most recently, me.

6th Dan in American Tang Soo Do, Mike Jones talks about his martial arts journey through not 1 but 2 major life disruptions that I believe would have broken any normal human being. But not Mike.  He has used both obstacles to hone and sharpen the man that he is, often carried through them by his community and faith.  A truly inspirational man with an incredible life story, I'm honored to have been able to spend this time with him.

Professional Health and Fitness Coach and BJJ Black Belt Raynald Ray joins me to discuss increasing power in my quest to do a jump 540 kick (cheat 720).  At a high level being able to increase revolutions in the air requires proper technique and power, which can be aided by strength training and losing weight.  One of my long time friends, I always enjoy the opportunity to visit with Ray and am grateful for his knowledge.

Was invited to speak on Taekwondo on Li Lin's Funny Millionaires podcast where we discuss what Taekwondo is, why it's awesome, and which if my kids will take over the reigns when I'm gone.

A great episode covering some technical details on kicking and then moving quickly into how Chris' approach to building a kicking and martial arts curriculum is secretly a parallel to how we can all become better humans.  Be present and remember that small incremental changes make habits you want to form better.

You can learn more about Chris at his official website http://chrisjonesaction.co.uk/ and check out his online kicking class at https://onlinekicking.co.uk.

In this episode I get to visit with Master Jose Ramirez of the Christian Taekwondo League (San Antonio, TX) on the Top 10 Taekwondo Mistakes You Are Making (and not really you, of course, but probably someone you know).
