The minds behind the popular video, Okinawan Karate: The Original MMA, Michel and Aaron, join me on the program today. We talk about the state of Karate, why it is considered useless by some, and what karate Culture is doing to raise it's street cred. Can kata be used in a real fight? If so, how? Does karate need to change or just be re-discovered?

In this episode, I talk to John Parish who was a student of Abel Sandoval, who was my Si Gong. There is little known about Able Sandoval in the world of JKD. He was a student Steve Johnson and Bill Holland's first JKD instructor. He was a competent fighter and a wealth of kung fu knowledge. Abel died back in 2005 of cancer and in this episode we celebrate his life.
Also, we are looking for anyone who may know some of Abel's students: Tommy Sanchez, Don Brock, and Dale Olson. If you know any of those people, please let them know that we would like to get in contact with them.
