The Emil Barna Podcast

What's martial arts got to do with confidence? In this episode of The Emil Barna Podcast, Damien Chaurémootoo delves deeply into his roots as a martial artist, beginning with his childhood in Mauritius and migration to Australia. He talks about coaching young kids and adults into becoming more confident human beings through his unique approach to the martial arts, bullying, mental health, and discipline.

Damien's name is engraved on a commemorative plaque in the province of
Henan, China—a plaque erected on the occasion of the great return of Wing Chun to the Shaolin Temple that also bears the names of Robert Downey Jr. and William Cheung, Grand Master of the traditional Wing Chun and direct disciple of the legendary Ip Man. It was under the tutelage of Grand Master William Cheung that Damien perfected his mastery of Wing Chun Kung-Fu and became an instructor.  Damien’s passion for martial arts began after watching movies featuring Bruce Lee, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal. He's since honed his skills in Wing Chun Kung-Fu, aikido, kickboxing, combat training, fear management, and motivational speaking.

Damien Chauremootoo worked as an Operations Manager and Chief Instructor at the global HQ of the Global Traditional Wing Chun Kung-Fu Association in Melbourne, Australia. He's trained alongside and formed partnerships with people such as Grand Master William Cheung, Shihan Hiroo Mochizuki, Sam Greco, Master Joe Sayah, Master Eric Oram, Scott Adkins, Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal, Michael Jai White, George St-Pierre, and many more.

Co-founder of Empower Tactical, Damien shares his martial arts knowledge with civilians to teach them practical skills and awareness. He's worked with doctors, police officers, security guards, school groups, and young kids.

Aren't martial arts only about beating people up? Don't only those who like fighting sign up for these sports?

Vickie Simos is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist who is also a Fourth Degree Black Belt in the Filipino martial art of Doce Pares Eskrima (stick fighting) and a Second Degree Black Belt in Anjukanpo Karate. Vickie is a Silver Medallist World Stickfighting Championships, Pan Pacific Gold Medallist for Stick Fighting, and a qualified Personal Trainer.

Vickie is the founder of Thelo Active Therapy, an initiative that combines martial arts and mainstream therapy. In 2017, Vickie published her memoir called The Boxer Within where she reflects on her experiences with depression and anxiety and how martial arts helped her overcome those mental issues.

Emil interviews James H. Fallon, PhD to get his insights into COVID-19 lockdowns. Dr Fallon is a neuroscientist and psychopathy researcher and has been an authority on matters relating to neuroscience, mental illness, neuropsychiatry/psychology, and psychopathy for decades. He was very gracious with his time, exploring current events relating to governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr Fallon has delivered a monumental TED Talk on psychopaths and wrote a memoir on his experiences called The Psychopath Inside.

In this hilarious, sombre, and intellectually stimulating episode, he and Emil explore a topic Dr Fallon hasn't yet done so openly: lockdowns. They touch on the effects of lockdowns on the most impoverished, how some kids might actually benefit from homeschooling, how governments appear to be becoming more authoritarian in disposition, recent Victorian and New South Wales lockdowns (including protests), and killer clowns.

Strap in, this was a fun (and sombre) one!

Emil interviews Juanita Smith on all things hypnosis-related.

Born in the 1970’s, Juanita grew up in Dunedin, New Zealand under the care of a traumatised mother and her seven-year-old brother. As a baby, Juanita was so unwell with ear infections that she lost all hearing in one ear and partial hearing in the other. At two, Juanita was temporarily placed in out-of-home care and then raised with various relatives. Surrounded by poverty, trauma, and addiction, Juanita followed that path for some time before making a decision to take control, pursue freedom, and live the life of her dreams.

Having an entrepreneurial spirit, Juanita embarked on various careers and business ventures over the years, ending with her current role of working with people to overcome their addictions and underlying trauma through hypnosis. Her book, Is It A Habit Or An Addiction?lays out a step-by-step system to overcome addiction from food, cigarettes, drugs, gambling, and others.

Ruth discusses her dad's experiences during the Tet Offensive, one of the largest military campaigns of the Vietnam War. She talks about how his violence at home impacted the family and how the past often influences the present. She also chats about why unnuanced family violence groups don't work and how to heal from past traumas by crafting a new story of oneself and one's experiences.

Ruth Clare is the award-winning author of the memoir, Enemy. Her book, published by Penguin in 2016, explores her experience of growing up in a home with family violence and is a search to understand how the Vietnam War impacted her father’s behaviour. Ruth is also a TEDx and keynote speaker who hosts and speaks at events and conferences Australia-wide using many of the skills she developed after working throughout her twenties as a professional actor.
Ruth’s writing has been described as “...raw, ...evocative, ...magnetic, ...insightful and ...brilliantly moving,” and has appeared in publications such as The Age, Meanjin, Elle and The Good Weekend. Ruth is working on her second non-fiction book, Powerful, which focuses on ways to make it through the dark moments, and how changing the stories we tell ourselves about our lives can reconnect us to our personal power.
