Benny "The Jet" is one of the best known fighters of all time. Growing up in a fighting family, Benny had his first fight at 5 years of age and won his first title at 14. He would go on to represent the US as a member of Elvis Presley's international fight team, pioneer the sport of kickboxing and win six world titles in 5 weight divisions, fighting allcomers.
To this day Benny teaches Ukidokan from his world famous Jet Centre, which is about to open a brand new facility in Woodland Hills, California. He is still fighting fit and enjoying life.
I think you'll enjoy the way Benny thinks and some of the amazing stories of his time with Ed Parker, Elvis, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Richard Norton and Jeff Speakman.
And keep an eye out for his new branded sports gear, "Jet Power Equipment".

Mick Pope is a fascinating blend of academia (he has a PhD in Meteorology), religion (he is a devout Anglican and hosts a podcast, entitled "The Natural Philosopher) and martial arts (Mick is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). Mick researches and teaches climate-related matters and, in this episode we discuss the central issues around human-induced climate change.
If you don't believe that humans have any responsibility in creating changes to our climate, then THIS IS the episode for you!!
At the conclusion, Mick encourages everyone to visit The Climate Council for easy-to-understand information to help broaden your knowledge on this vital topic.
I hope you enjoy this chat (and forgive my occasional rants!!)
