Two people that do martial arts sit down and talk. Sometimes about martial arts, sometimes about something entirely different. Ever wondered why people wear pyjamas and fight each other? Mick's been doing it for 30 years and wants to know too. Subscribe and see if he can find the answer.
Each episode he speaks to a different practitioner from masters of traditional arts to UFC superstars - and everything in-between.

Keith Priestly: Kyokushin Kyorkshireman
Keith Priestly is 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.

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.
