Out of Position Fighting (Dog Boxing)
In this episode, we dive into the art of out-of-position fighting, or “Dog Boxing,” inspired by the unexpected realities of real-world encounters. Unlike the open spaces of a training mat, real life fights often happen in tight, awkward spots—cars, stairways, or crowded bars. Discover why training for these environments is essential for practical self-defense and mental adaptability. We’ll explore insights and drills from legendary martial artists: Guro Dan Inosanto shares a Bruce Lee story on fighting in the backseat and introduces his close-quarter drills. Erik Paulson’s Wall Survival Drill prepares you for scenarios where there’s nowhere to back up. Justo Dieguez’s Around the World Drill teaches movement and control in different unconventional body positions. Learn about my approach with C-TAC principles like Surface Engagement, Timing, and the “4 Man Box” tailored for real-world scenarios. Plus, I’ll give practical tips on how to make any environment a training ground.

Turn Off The Noise

Turn Off The Noise
In my latest episode, I discuss turning off the noise that we allow into our minds daily to improve our mental bandwidth. Allowing persistent distractions to consume your daily focus will hinder your progress in life, so as high performers, we need to take control of it. The “system” doesn't want you to be extraordinary, and as warriors and leaders, it is our job first to lead ourselves and then to set an example for those around us. If this resonates with you or someone you know, remember: While you may not be to blame for being shaped this way, the choice to remain unchanged lies with you.
