We have a really great discussion about de-escalation, the reality of violence and how most martial artists aren’t properly prepared to teach violence management. Check out Joes website for some great material and the details of his upcoming UK seminar tour. https://www.violencepod.com *There are a few audio issues with this episode, luckily Joe wasn’t affected so all the great info is still there!

Rest in Peace Sensei Chuck Merriman. We recorded this conversation with Chuck Merriman in August 2020. He talked to us for a long time and he told us incredible stories, One favourite was the time that he met Richard Burton in London. He sadly passed away in October 2021 and we wanted to say thank you to him for his generosity to spending so long with us and for sharing his wisdom and encouragement. And also to pass on our condolences to his family and many friends around the world. Please listen and enjoy this remarkable man. Sensei Chuck Merriman.
