Our "Igor" from true is the "hobgoblin" Charles Peace, an especially notorious cat-burglar and murderer of the Victorian era.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the motion picture "Jaws", I present a re-recording of "The Way of the Shark" with a new 8-minute introduction. Part one of this classic podcast looks at the rise of ground grappling in the mid 1990s. Jean Jacques Machado once said "I am a shark, the ground is my ocean, and most people don’t know how to swim." It had been a year since Brazilian Jiu Jitsu had sh...

However, with a huge family to support and the centre haemorrhaging cash, the bi...

This episode covers the first half George Foreman's boxing career. Foreman was once the most feared boxer of his generation. An angry man, he ploughed his way through the heavyweight division until he faced the legendary Muhammad Ali.
