The idea for this show has been a long time in the making. With over 30 years behind the mic in radio and professional voiceover and over 35 years in martial arts it was just meant to be. I started my martial arts journey in 1984 after seeing The Karate Kid for the first time at age 10. I started my radio journey in 1989 at age 15 at KFML radio in Little Falls, MN. I first had the idea for a weekly martial arts radio show back in 1997 but the station I was working at would not go for it. I tried at a few more stations over the next decade but nobody thought it would work. My last try was around 2008-2009 and the community I was in had around 35 martial arts schools in about a 25 mile radius. I talked to a bunch of the schools, had guests lined up and even found some sponsors. I took the idea to the talk radio station I was working at and they still turned me down. Fast forward over 10 years. I was working on a few other podcasts and I finally decided to develop my martial arts radio show as a podcast. I worked on the show for over 6 months and here we are.
