Tue, 19 Nov 2019 15:00:00 GMT

Mike Blackgrave appears on the Primal Radio podcast for a third time to discuss his recent mental, physical and spiritual transformation.

Michael Blackgrave, founder of SEAMOK, began his first steps in martial arts learning WWII combatives at a young age from his father, a 101st Army Airborne Infantry Veteran.

Later Guro Blackgrave also enlisted in the Army and served honorably with the 59th Ordinance Brigade and the 74th USAFAD during the height of the cold war in the capacity of COMSEC security. Additionally Guro Blackgrave gained twenty years experience bounty hunting, bodyguarding, and providing club and special event security. He has taught seminars to civilians, law enforcement and private security personnel throughout the United States and used every opportunity to gain more working knowledge of the arts as he traveled.

Mike is a strong advocate of practical and tactical firearm usage, and has taught seminars to civilians, law enforcement, and private security personnel throughout the United States. He is also responsible for building the P.C.C.T. (Police Control Capture Tactics) course for the Waycross, Georgia Police Dept.

Mike is a published author on the subject of self-preservation using edged and impact weaponry, and is a member in high standing with the WCMAA (World Combat Martial Artists Association) and also a life member of the NRA.

SEAMOK (Simple Effective Aggressive Methods of Kombate) is a combative art system encompassing any weapon, from boots to blades to bullets, toe to toe, downrange, or on the ground. SEAMOK was born from the sweat, blood, and scars of Founder Bwana Mike Blackgrave. Its foundations have roots in a myriad of systems including Goju-Ryu, Wing Chung, Qi Gong Kung Fu, Western Boxing, and a host of Philipino Martial Arts (FMA) such as Silat, Escrima, Kali Illustrisimo. After becoming proficiently adept in all these systems, Guru Blackgrave combined the best aspects of each system, and forged his own art, which applies to body mechanics and combative skills that apply with any confrontation and virtually any weapon.

Amo Guro Michael Blackgrave is available for teaching seminars on the concepts and applications of SEAMOK as it applies to empty hand, weapon, and firearms in violent confrontations.

S2 Ep83: #83 Tim Tackett on his new book Essential JKD

Fri, 27 Sep 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Tim Tackett is a martial arts instructor and author from Redlands, California who runs a non-profit group dedicated to preserving Bruce Lee's art of Jeet Kune Do.

The new book Essential Jeet Kune Do - This book will serve way to decide what will work the best for you and what aspects of JKD you need to keep, as well as throw away. I feel that it would be impossible to learn this from your instructor, as he will mainly focus on what works best for him. I have been fortunate to have learned from many of the senior students of Bruce Lee and have noticed that they all focus on certain things and not on what some the others are doing. For some it may be the boxing aspects. For some it may be footwork. For others it was trapping energy and the Wing Chun elements. It was only when we started focusing on the Western fencing aspects of JKD that I was able to understand and focus on what has become my essence of JKD. Of course, an instructor cannot just hand you what will become your essence or foundation of your own JKD. This is something that you must discover for yourself as you work to become more a more efficient JKD practitioner. The purpose of this book is too show you most of what we teach in my garage and the basic principles behind each. Once you have worked on these you will come to realize what will work for you and what will not. Some of you will want to focus on distance and footwork. Others will feel comfortable crashing the line. Whatever works for you is the main thing. Just use the book as guideline to discover your own essential JKD.

S2 Ep65: #65 "36 Questions that lead to Love"

Sun, 31 Mar 2019 00:21:33 GMT

Jim and Tom run through the New York Times "The 36 questions that lead to Love". The questions are broken up into three sets, with each set intended to be more probing than the previous one.

The idea of the questions is that mutual vulnerability fosters closeness. To quote the study’s authors, “One key pattern associated with the development of a close relationship among peers is sustained, escalating, reciprocal, personal self-disclosure.” Allowing oneself to be vulnerable with another person can be exceedingly difficult, so this exercise forces the issue.

S2 Ep62: #62 Dr. Jaime Hope, MD - on her book "Habit That"

Mon, 11 Feb 2019 06:00:00 GMT

This week on Primal Radio Jim & Tom interview Dr. Jaime Hope, MD - on her book "Habit That".

Healthy living nowadays seems to require spending one hour a day exercising, one-hour doing yoga, tons of time shopping for and prepping healthy meals, meditation time, journaling, quality time with family and friends…oh and getting plenty of sleep, doing well at our jobs, and finding downtime. It doesn’t take a math whiz to see that the hours dedicated toward each adds up to more than 24 hours in a day! It can seem overwhelming and a lot of people start with great intentions and then eventually just give up and revert back to their old unhealthy habits.

In Habit That!, Dr. Hope teaches you how to fight against waning motivation and overcome the inevitable roadblocks on the road to healthy living. You’ll discover how simple, sustainable habits can reinforce the four pillars of health—eat, sleep, burn, and release—and support you in your daily life.
