“Exist to Inspire, Martial arts is so much more than what people think.  If you live the way, and actually make martial arts part of your lifestyle it comes with these values and skillsets that no one can take away from you and can be used in all aspects of your life.” – Mr. Mikey Dillard

“I want kids to have confidence and discipline, self-respect and respect for others, I want kids to stand out, a place where they fit in, have achievable goals, we exist to inspire, and we are here to grow martial arts.” – Mr. Michael Dillard

My special guests this episode are Mr. Michael Dillard who is the CEO and Founder of Century Martial Arts and his son Mr. Mikey Dillard who is Century’s CFO.  Century Martial Arts was founded in 1976 by Michael Dillard as one man working out of his garage, it has grown into a worldwide leader and innovator off martial arts equipment, instruction, and transformed the professional martial arts industry.  Century’s success is due to the fact that it is owned and operated by Martial Artists, Michael Dillard is a multi-style black belt and is a 2 time National Karate Champion, his son Mikey Dillard is also a highly accomplished Tang Soo Do Black Belt, BJJ Brown Belt and has fought MMA. 

This episode is all about leadership and inspiration through the love of the martial arts lifestyle.  My key takeaway is that Martial Artists who are instructors in schools are catalysts to inspire change in people.  Martial arts instructors and school owners are the ones instilling the values of confidence, honor, and discipline inside their students, and make martial arts so much more than a physical activity like other sports.  We dive deep into the humble beginnings of Mr. Dillard’s career, his training with Chuck Norris, Roger Green, Bill Wallace, to the development of Century Martial Arts and their plans for the future.  We also take a look at how martial arts training directly transfers to leadership in business.  The Dillard’s truly live the martial arts lifestyle, they train in the morning, work, teach at lunch, work, and get back to training.  Tune in for a wonderful episode, the father and son stories are entertaining and inspiring, but above all the love, commitment and dedication to the martial arts values and the power they have to change lives is what makes this family and company thrive.   

Kush Hayes and Len Kabasinski meet each other for the first time on the LA Set of Pact of Vengeance.

Rickson is a world class martial artist that has changed the world view of jiu jitsu.  In this episode he talks about growing up training and how his dad inspired and supported him. 

Other topics are how jiu jitsu helps law enforcement officers and people of all walks of life find balance.  He also describes how fear can be useful and his view of becoming "comfortable in hell" 

Master Rickson also has an online academy now available that you can check out here 
https://www.rickson.academy/

A lot of insight is delivered in this episode that goes beyond the training floor and gives insight into one of the greatest martial artist view on the world, success and happiness.

Johnny has done martial arts his entire life and was a martial arts champion doing TV and Movies when he met Rickson Gracie, then his life changed when he was helpless against Gracie Jiu Jitsu.  He then spent the next 30 years trying to master BJJ.

Lots of great stories of training in the early days, his influence from Rickson and Carlos Machado, and how its been passed down to his own student Daniel O'Brien who runs Triad Martial Arts.

Johnny now teaches law enforcement full time and certifies thousands of officers every year.  He feels it is his calling to help the law enforcement community and has become one of their biggest advocates.

6th Dan in American Tang Soo Do, Mike Jones talks about his martial arts journey through not 1 but 2 major life disruptions that I believe would have broken any normal human being. But not Mike.  He has used both obstacles to hone and sharpen the man that he is, often carried through them by his community and faith.  A truly inspirational man with an incredible life story, I'm honored to have been able to spend this time with him.

Will Tatum is a retiree and martial arts practitioner. Will shares his journey through martial arts including starting from scratch with a new style well into his sixties.

Palmer College of Chiropractic-Davenport graduate, Dr. Nick Askey (with Airrosti) joins me for a quick visit on tips and tricks every martial artist should consider for dealing with pain so you can continue to train.  Pain is an inevitable part of growth and often a limiting factor for training, so understanding how to deal with it and safely power through it is an important topic I believe every athlete should consider, especially to improve the long-term outlook of their physical health. 

Dr. Nick Askey runs the Broken to Unbroken podcast and you can follow him on instagram @kickaskey

Jonathan Van Heijzen is a husband and father of four children. Jonathan shares his journey of reconnecting with martial arts after hitting a physical low point, and how his family all got involved with martial arts.

A Tae Kwon Do practitioner since 4, after high school Raynald Ray went to play football at NCAA Division 1 Ohio University, then almost went to the NFL, but ended up returned to San Antonio to be a full time personal trainer and, at the same time, became a Muay Thai fighter and Jiu Jitsu World Champion. 

Master Jose Ramirez (of the Christian Taekwondo League) and I visit on what to expect now that you're officially a martial arts parent! We start out with some negative things to experience (like crying and disappointing looks) the move into lots of positive benefits (like better listening and flexibility) and wrap up with several keys to success.

Coach, teacher, speaker, certified John Maxwell Leadership team member, and president of the International Martial Arts Council (IMAC), John Terry is a clear leader in the martial arts community and a true joy to visit with. His passion for leadership is obvious and his heart for the community is intentional as displayed through his US Martial Arts Hall of Fame and a 2016 Master’s Hall of Fame induction for his Kid-Safe and Women-Safe advocacy work.

The Grandmaster of my dojang (Christian Taekwondo League under Master Jose Ramirez), Johnny 'Lightfoot' Thompson has guest instructed and consistently supported all of the students every week as long as I can remember. A 9th Dan in American Tang Soo Do, Johnny is not only an incredible source of knowledge, but a constant source of encouragement, inspiration, and for those who know him, fun.
