Rarely does one interview pack in so much heart, humor, and hard-won wisdom. In this continuation of Sensei Ed Brizz’s conversation with Grandmaster Eric Lee, the discussion digs deep into what it truly means to be a lifelong student of martial arts and of life itself. Grandmaster Lee makes one thing crystal clear: purpose demands action, not just thought. He rejects the idea of retirement entirel...

Rarely does a single conversation capture decades of wisdom so powerfully. Grandmaster Eric Lee, the legendary “King of Kata,” sits down with Sensei Ed Brizz to share a lifetime of hard-won insight about what martial arts truly means. Born nearly eighty years ago in a small village near Canton, China, Eric’s journey began watching his father practice and grew through the influence of classic kung...

Rarely does a single conversation contain this many hard-won lessons packed into one sitting. Chris Harris, sixth Dan martial artist and founder of Roku Jitsu, built a system combining six martial arts disciplines after a childhood that could have broken anyone.

Jef Naayers, who first fell in love with Kung Fu at age eleven after watching David Carradine in the original Kung Fu pilot, has spent decades training at Shaolin Temple, traveling to China yearly, and wrestling with questions that go far beyond fighting technique. The overuse of titles like “Grandmaster” and “Sifu” is actively damaging...

What does it take to transform childhood bullying into a lifetime of martial arts mastery? Jose Luis Torres II started training at age five after his mother enrolled him in karate, inspired by Chuck Norris films. Fast forward four decades, and Torres, who is now a ninth Dan in Tang Soo Do, actually met his childhood hero at a charitable gala in Texas. (Talk about a full-circle moment.) Interesting...

Starting martial arts training in 1973 after watching Bruce Lee, Hanshi Jonathan Edmondson thought earning a black belt would solve everything. The bullied child seeking confidence discovered something far more profound: his real opponent wasn’t external at all. (It never is, really.)
