For all of my martial artist’s friends & family and to all of my combat veteran friends. THIS IS A MUST LISTEN TO PODCAST. I have to do a lot of driving for work and regularly listen to some of the biggest podcast shows out there. The Adam Carolla Show, UFC Unfiltered with Matt Sera and Jim Norton are a few that I subscribe too and listen too frequently. The Primal Radio podcast is easily as entertaining and interesting as the fore mentioned podcasts.
The hosts are really knowledgably, creditable and down to earth guys. They do their homework on their guests and manage to keep the conversation light hearted, playful and interesting. This podcast is not just for JKD practitioners, it is for everybody interested in martial arts and combat experience. While I may know, have trained with and traded leather with some of their guests. It doesn’t taint my opinion of the quality of this podcast.
This review has been a long time coming as I stumbled across it and fell in love with it back in the fall of 2017. If you’re a fan of boxing, UFC, the Deadliest Warrior, Bruce Lee movies and martial arts in general, then you must subscribe to this podcast. I promise you, it won’t disappoint.

Great coach, great show

Had the chance to train with Jim for a while some years back, and this show is as great as his training regime - accessible, comprehensive, and fun. Get into people, and if you are in the central NJ area, get in with Jim for a session or two.
