Champion Fights & Bangkok Nights | Dave Mears
Dave Mears is a former Taekwondo world champion. After being a successful teacher, Dave moved to Thailand and managed several award-winning bars. Famous guests include Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Hollywood legend, Steven Seagal.
Transcript from ‘Champion Fights & Bangkok Nights’ podcast
Dave – I had a very good instructor. He was very proactive and he drove me everywhere, to take me to the England squad training. My big chance came and I was selected for the England team. It’s like going through selection with the forces. You know you’ve got to be in it, to win it. Incidentally, I followed the Royal Marines fitness course. The USA were undisputedly the best kickboxing team in the world. I trained professionally six days a week for several hours a day.
I’d start the day with my running coach for a 10 mile road run in the morning. We could do that in 50 to 55 minutes which is not bad considering we’re not runners. During our run back, we’d have a little break, then we’d go into the weight room to do the weight training.

Chris – Dr Itay, how are you?
Itay – I’m good and thanks for having me on Chris. If you look back a couple of weeks ago, we had a small conflict going on here in Israel. There were rockets from Gaza and a lot of domestic terrorism taking place. I just landed from the United States, I believe it was the 18th of May and I got called in urgently by the military for about twenty days, to be involved in some of the activities.

Gheorghe – Yes I’ve done my national service when I was eighteen, for one year. When I’ve been on my national service the Chesapeake regime fell. I’d been for four years on the service, it was a good and bad experience. Then I moved on so I came back and worked as a contractor for the army. I’ve been a surgeon, a physical training, shooting and hand to hand combat instructor.

The World’s Hardest Man WOKE UP | Lee Morrison | #185
The world’s hardest man woke up, features Lee Morrison, chatting with Chris Thrall. Lee runs the Urban Combatives course and here he talks about his life as a street-fighter, doorman and martial-arts experience.
The World’s Hardest Man WOKE UP | Lee Morrison | #185
Former Royal Marines Commando Chris Thrall chats with Lee Morrison from Urban Combatives – a no-nonsense-approach fight school. Lee grew up in violence on the streets, but now focuses his efforts on tackling the oppression facing all of us.
Transcript from ‘The World’s Hardest Man’ podcast
Chris – I was looking at your stuff on the internet earlier. You look like the world’s hardest man.
Lee – Yes it’s not just about being how to handle yourself, it’s about being able to control your mind. I think it all comes down to that because you know, if you can control your thoughts on a regular basis you become a master of your thoughts. You can control your feelings and if you control your feelings, that’s your entire state of being so I think that’s very important. It’s not so much what goes on around us, although that’s horrendous enough, but it really comes down to how you respond to it.

Gracie Jiu Jitsu Black Belt | Krav Maga Teacher | #73
Gracie Jiu Jitsu Black Belt podcast, features Jon Hegan who is an IKMF Expert level, chatting with Chris Thrall. Jon tells us about his illustrious career from serving in The Royal Marines, to becoming an expert in martial arts.
Gracie Jiu Jitsu Black Belt | Krav Maga Teacher
Few other UK martial arts instructors have such an extensive and authentic martial art CV. A former IKMF Expert level, Jon Hegan has trained in the martial arts for over 30 years. Jon is one of the few people in the world to be a full 1st degree black belt Professor in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu under UFC legend Royce Gracie. He is also a BJA Judo black belt. Jon is one the highest qualified Krav Maga instructors in Europe. Although anyone can teach martial arts, in order to teach a practical self-defence system like Krav Maga it helps to have some first-hand knowledge in dealing with ‘extreme’ violence. For 20 years Jon ensured this was the case. After a six-year service in the Royal Marines, serving in an operational commando unit, he then spent two years “on the door” as a bouncer. For 15 years he worked with young offenders in various secure units, experiencing a daily exposure to violence. As well as teaching a regular class, he also teaches Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu at the Metropolitan Specialist Training Centre. There he has taught members of the Public Order instructors, as well as operators from the Special Air Service, and Special Boat Service.
Transcript snippet from ‘Gracie Jiu Jitsu Black Belt | Krav Maga Teacher’ podcast
Chris and Jon
C – Jon, how are you brother?
J – Great, great how are you?
C – Wonderful, I can say. I’ll tell you what I’m going to do Jon because people always think these are interviews and they’re not. This is my podcast, this is me chatting to my mate about stuff we find interesting. It could be stuff we both might have done, and you’re certainly a man that your resume shall we say, puts Rambo to shame…
