Big news — we’re getting ready for the next FREE live seminar inside the Martial Arts Academy. This time we’re filming with Sifu Martin Gonzalez, an instructor we met at the Water & Steel seminar with Kelly Worden and his team. When we trained and filmed with Martin, he showed us powerful street-fighting concepts rooted in traditional systems like Wing Chun, Muay Thai, and Boxing — and the clips went absolutely gangbusters. Martine is one of those rare instructors whose knowledge comes from real experience and hard training — not just theory. When he talks, you listen. We’re traveling to film a free live seminar with him, and we want your input. We’re planning a course focused on real street fighting — how Martine takes traditional martial arts, strips away the nonsense, and focuses on what actually works. Vote on the topics below. The winning topic will become the focus of the live seminar. Let us know what you want to learn — and we’ll build the seminar around it

Comment “YES” if you’ll be there. 👊 Join us for Too Close for Comfort — our upcoming live seminar focused on close-range striking and real-world self-defense. 📅 Saturday, February 21 🕚 11:00 AM MST 📍 Live inside Budo Brothers Academy — click the Calendar tab to access the Zoom link. We’re also attaching a short video for you to watch before the event so you can come prepared and understand what this “too close” range really looks like. This is going to be powerful, practical, and immediately applicable.

Got my serrada sticks the other day and made a quick unboxing video with the kids. Just silly fun, but I thought others might get a kick out of it too. https://youtu.be/j4FCUMOk0co?si=AsrnqCZ5DveiQwjS
