I may have missed the New Year date in line with the Gregorian calendar, the Chinese Zodiac’s calendar begins on 22nd January. It’s the Year of the Rabbit and so I took the opportunity to run my two Way of the Rabbit shows from way back in season 2 as bumper edition. The content still stands up but I apologise for the sound quality, which I have only been able to slightly improve. So that just leaves me to say in my best possible Mandarin (please forgive me) Xīnnián hǎo and in Cantonese, as it was said in my school which had a lot of Hong Kong nationals, Gong hei fat choy. Have a happy vigilant, witty, quick-minded and ingenious year of the Rabbit. Show Notes for this episode: Tsukahara Bokuden – Samurai LegendBrer RabbitThe Art of War by Sun Tzu The Art of Fighting Without Fighting by Geoff ThompsonRicky Hatton gets Mugged in China by Mark Vester Music for the Outro:  "Titans" by Cold CinemaLink: https://bit.ly/3HjGhpVSupport the show Support the show Buy "When Parents Aren't Around" Audi

The final episode to this two season/eight-part story has arrived. Jersey Joe and Ezzard are head-to-head in a living chess match played out in the boxing ring. Walcott breaks records in challenging for the world heavyweight title for an historic fourth time, but no one wants to be known as great loser. What will be his legacy? Show Notes: Ben Myers (Progressive Fighting Systems Profile)Knuckle up Buttercup - Ben Myers PodcastTribute to the Man Who Didn't Quit Jersey Joe Walcott: A Boxing BiographyBoxing Biographies: Jersey Joe WalcottClose Encounters with the Gloves OffThe RingEast Side BoxingWho in the World is Arnold Cream? Joe Louis:Music:

The penultimate episode of the Cakewalker quintology and the entire Jersey Joe Walcott story (first started in season four's trilogy, "Coal for Jersey Joe"). Ezzard Charles faces the pressure of being a heavyweight champion that followed the beloved Joe Louis. Meanwhile, Louis is forced out of retirement by severe financial problems. The two men will have to face off to decide the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. At the same time, Jersey Joe Walcott begins his campaign for a rematch against Charles as faces off against competition in Europe. Tribute to the Man Who Didn't Quit Jersey Joe Walcott: A Boxing BiographyBoxing Biographies: Jersey Joe WalcottClose Encounters with the Gloves OffThe RingEast Side BoxingWho in the World is Arnold Cream? Joe Louis:Music:

Christmas takes us full circle as we continue with the Jersey Joe Walcott story. We pick up with the build up to Jersey Joe's third attempt at the world heavyweight title. The National Boxing Association declares the position vacant with its former holder, Joe Louis, promoting a fight to determine the new champion. Jersey Joe takes on the "Cincinnati Cobra" Ezzard Charles. Along the way we look at the history of the left hook, boxing's great surprise attack forged through the gloved era and an apt metaphor for life. We also take a brief look at Two-Ton Tony Galento, one of the sport's most colourful figures, as he checks out the two new prospects. Going further back, we recount the uncanny tale of when Jersey Joe met the original Joe Walcott and look at his story as one of history's greatest welterweights. Shownotes/Links: Tribute to the Man Who Didn't Quit Jersey Joe Walcott: A Boxing BiographyBoxing Biographies: Jersey Joe WalcottClose Encounters with the Gloves OffThe Rin

We return to the first half of the 20th century and our saga of an unsung boxing hero. After winning the respect of the world but not the championship, Jersey Joe Walcott and the longest reigning world heavyweight king, Joe Louis, know they must face one another again. Meanwhile a new devastating force rises through the weight divisions. We chart the rise of Ezzard Charles, "The Cincinnati Cobra", considered by many to be the greatest light heavyweight of all time and reluctant new contender for boxing's most prestigious crown. Sub-plots include the boxing style of Archie "The Mongoose" Moore, the courage of Freddie Mills, "Murderers' Row" and Gus Lesnevich.Shownotes/Links: Clubb Chimera Martial Arts Facebook GroupClubb Chimera WebsiteClubb Chimera Facebook PageClubb Chimera TwitterClubb Chimera YouTubeClubb Chimera InstagramJamie Clubb BooksFinding the Truth - Ben MyersTribute to the Man Who Didn't Quit Jersey Joe Walcott: A Boxing BiographyBoxing Biographies: Jer

This bonus show is a re-edited,  re-recorded and newly produced version of our original Halloween episode from season one. Enjoy!In this special edition of the Clubb Chimera Martial Arts podcast, we re-visit Halloween 1828 and the climax of a series of cold-blooded murders. Taking a self-protection eye, we look at how raw opportunity and circumstance tempted two infamous criminals to sell the lives of their own for profit. The podcast raises questions regarding victim selection and how it can be defeated through target hardening as well as the weaponising of alcohol by criminals, the importance of training against multiple attackers and on the ground, and the need to promote safeguarding in the community.Resources for this Episode:Clubb Chimera Martial Arts Facebook GroupClubb Chimera WebsiteClubb Chimera Facebook PageClubb Chimera TwitterClubb Chimera YouTubeClubb Chimera InstagramJamie Clubb BooksBurke and Hare: The Year of the Ghouls by Brian BaileyThe Real Mary PatersonThe Anatomy Murders Corpse of the Da

We return to the Jersey Joe Walcott story in this new series of episodes. Having won his opportunity to challenge for the world heavyweight championship, Jersey Joe faces one of history's greatest boxers: Joe Louis. It's been an arduous journey and few people hold out much for the challenger. However, Jersey Joe and his camp have a plan to unseat the Brown Bomber. Can they pull it off? Clubb Chimera Martial Arts Facebook GroupClubb Chimera WebsiteClubb Chimera Facebook PageClubb Chimera TwitterClubb Chimera YouTubeClubb Chimera InstagramJamie Clubb BooksTribute to the Man Who Didn't Quit Jersey Joe Walcott: A Boxing BiographyBoxing Biographies: Jersey Joe WalcottClose Encounters with the Gloves OffThe RingEast Side Boxing Music for the Outro:  "Titans" by Cold CinemaLink: https://bit.ly/3HjGhpVSupport the show Support the show Buy "When Parents Aren't Around" Audiobook Clubb Chimera Website Clubb Chimera Martial Arts Facebook Group Clubb Chimera Facebook Page Clubb Chimera T

The 73rd or 70th episode (depending on your perspective) is the most unashamedly self-indulgent yet. I tie in religious texts, mythology, punk rock, Ernest Hemingway, Plato, Elvis, Don Quixote, Shakespeare, Idi Amin, Georgette Heyer, Henry V and many other disparate concepts and people into the story of martial arts. Let's Get Ready to Ramble!Useful Links: Clubb Chimera WebsiteClubb Chimera Facebook PageClubb Chimera TwitterClubb Chimera YouTubeClubb Chimera InstagramJamie Clubb Books Music for the Outro:  "Titans" by Cold CinemaLink: https://bit.ly/3HjGhpVSupport the show Support the show Buy "When Parents Aren't Around" Audiobook Clubb Chimera Website Clubb Chimera Martial Arts Facebook Group Clubb Chimera Facebook Page Clubb Chimera Twitter Clubb Chimera YouTube Clubb Chimera Instagram Jamie Clubb Books

The concluding part of my discussion with Lawrence Kane on the seminal book on martial arts subculture he authored with previous podcast guest, Kris Wilder. This episode we look more into the reasoning behind the questionnaire order that was used to collect data for this book on martial artists. Both Lawrence and I were surprised by much of the data was provided, demonstrating the real personalities behind individuals who stick with martial arts training.  Clubb Chimera WebsiteClubb Chimera Facebook PageClubb Chimera TwitterClubb Chimera YouTubeClubb Chimera InstagramJamie Clubb BooksLawrence A.

Lawrence Kane is a hugely respected martial arts teacher and best-selling author. Along with Kris Wilder he has produced an immensely significant study on martial arts subculture. By carefully constructing a survey, they have compiled surprising and enlightening data on the people who practise martial arts. Clubb Chimera WebsiteClubb Chimera Facebook PageClubb Chimera TwitterClubb Chimera YouTubeClubb Chimera InstagramJamie Clubb BooksLawrence A.

On this episode we look at peer pressure through the lens of fiction: how herd mentality or the need to fit in can influence otherwise rational and moral human beings to commit heinous crimes. Although all the references for this episode come from feature films, television programmes and literature, most are inspired by real events or are allegories for real events. Art can often offer a very helpful way to view ideas and the human condition. My desire with this piece is prompt thinking from a self-defence, defence of the self perspective. After all, self-protection should begin with mental self-protection. Clubb Chimera WebsiteClubb Chimera Facebook PageClubb Chimera TwitterClubb Chimera YouTubeClubb Chimera InstagramJamie Clubb Books Music for the Outro:  "Titans" by Cold CinemaLink: https://bit.ly/3HjGhpVSupport the show Support the show Buy "When Parents Aren't Around" Audiobook Clubb Chimera Website Clubb Chimera Martial Arts Facebook Group Clubb Chimera Facebook Page Clubb Chimera Tw

"Your pain in my heart" - It's not a likely quote to see flying around the self-protection subculture and industry, but when it comes to better managing potential violence such thinking makes a world of difference. On this episode Australia's Joe Saunders of the "Managing Violence" podcast discusses the role of empathy in de-escalation ahead of his international tour of England and Switzerland along with a range of other related subjects. We also delve into areas not commonly covered in self-protection circles such as dealing with violent relationships in the workplace, extended family and at home. I also got an opportunity to discuss a regular elephant in the room - the timidity of martial arts students. Clubb Chimera WebsiteClubb Chimera Facebook PageClubb Chimera TwitterClubb Chimera YouTubeClubb Chimera InstagramJamie Clubb BooksJoe Saunders' "Managing Violence" Podcast and Services Music for the Outro:  "Titans" by Cold CinemaLink: https://bit.ly/3HjGhpVS

It’s 5th February 1943 at the Olympia Stadium, Detroit, Michigan. Sugar Ray Robinson enters the ring to face his latest opponent. Robinson has fought 40 professional bouts now, not losing one, and has been dazzling audiences since his amateur days. Tonight is a rematch.  The man standing across from the ring is Jake La Motta. The last time they met it he was described as a “human truck”. Robinson had won the match with what looked like relative ease on the scorecards and the audience had shown their approval. Giving away 10lbs, he had used his superior footwork and exemplified the art of boxing in the eyes of many. However, there were still others who betrayed they primal lust for the gladiatorial roots of pugilism. They saw no entertainment value in a fighter dancing outside of harm’s way. The real fight for them occurred in the pocket; the true test of warriors where the battle glory is earned. They asked what would happen if the truck caught up with the dancer.  Tonight they would find out. For this would

Our Christmas story concludes as Jersey Joe Walcott finds his "angel" in the unlikely form of a local gangster. He has had promises before but never one that comes with a basement full of coal. Can Felix Bocchicchio convince desperate Arnold Cream, supporting a family of eight, to come out of retirement and try to make it big in boxing for the sixth time. The world of racial oppression has changed with Joe Louis as the reigning world heavyweight champion since 1937, but how much? The world champion has cleaned house of all the previous title-holders and has gone on tour only to have these series of fights labelled the "Bum of the Month Club". Vultures begin to circle. Does Joe Louis have a weakness? During the war Jersey Joe scratches out a sparse living working in the famous New Jersey shipyard and Joe Louis has to put his title defences on hold to become a real-life Captain America. Back home tragedy strikes. As we catch up with time what is the state of the heavyweight contender situati
