    Bill Killinger on radical self-honesty, consequences, and the pursuit of better in martial arts and life

    Send a text This conversation with Bill Killinger explores martial arts as a framework for radical self-honesty, decision-making, and long-term personal growth. I met Bill through jiu jitsu and he’s one of the most influential people I’ve had the pleasure of training with. Bill began training in judo at the age of fourteen and has spent decades immersed in martial arts, including kung fu, Filipino Kali, Jeet Kun Do, kickboxing, karate, boxing, wrestling and jiu jitsu. He’s also the Canadian Director for ISR Matrix International.   We Discuss:   Fear of conflict  Make decisions out of acceptance of the consequences  When violence is the answer  Celebrating discomfort  Radical honesty (about the stories we tell ourselves)  “Collecting data” and “gathering evidence”  Is this a problem and how do I know?  Sustainable goal setting and pursuing better  Is discipline greater than motivation?  Recognizing when an identity no longer serves you  Singularity of purpose  Martial arts training for sport vs for life  Storytelling is the true commodity of life  Connect with me: @casswarbeck    Audio editing and processing by Wyatt Pavlik Theme music by Ievgen Poltavskyi from Pixabay *Please appreciate that any information discussed is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, always seek the opinion of a physician or qualified healthcare provider.*
