“Most martial arts don't work.” This is a phrase we often hear from self-defence and combatives experts. The argument usually goes something like this: martial arts are designed for sport, tradition, or competition, and therefore they don't prepare you for the reality of violence. If you really want to protect yourself, you need a dedicated self-defence or combatives system. Now, obviously, people have an interest in promoting their own business, their own system and their own tribe. We all do. But I want to present a counterargument. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Dark Side Of Karate Book: https://amzn.to/4ymejDl It only takes 30 seconds online to find martial artists arguing over which style is the best. Style vs. style, endless debates, and unnecessary division. But my experience at an open mat showed something completely different. Martial artists from different backgrounds trained together, shared knowledge, challenged each other with respect, and left as better martial artists. No egos. No arguments. Just people united by a passion for learning. Imagine how much stronger our martial arts community could be if more clubs opened their doors to each other instead of building walls. I believe every martial artist should visit other clubs, attend open mats, and train with people from different styles. We have far more to learn from one another than to argue about. ✅ Free Action Plan: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://payhip.com/KFMH⁠⁠⁠ Ever wondered what your karate grading panel is really thinking?

Anxious Black Belt Podcast – Episode: Chrissie Howard Sensei (Gambukai Karate) In this episode, Les Bubka sits down with Chrissie Howard Sensei for an honest and powerful conversation about a lifetime in karate. From starting training in the early 1980s and rising through the competitive ranks on regional, national, and international stages, to building and relocating dojos while balancing life, work, and personal challenges, Chrissie shares the reality behind the black belt journey. She opens up about growing up with karate as a foundation, the pressure of competition at an elite level, and how anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt shaped her experience both on and off the tatami. The conversation also explores her transition into coaching and mentoring, and how teaching karate became a way to support others through their own challenges. A deeply human look at resilience, discipline, and what it really means to grow through martial arts—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Learn more about your ad choices.
