The third annual Christmas edition of the official Clubb Chimera Martial Arts Podcast (Jamie Clubb's Podcast) continues our tradition of answering listener questions along with a Christmas ramble.
In this episode I look at the semantic issue of self-protection and self-defence whilst also covering the reason why personal security might be trained without hard skills yet hard skills should not be trained without personal security. Next I am pinned down by the first five things I would teach about self-protection to a non-martial artist and a martial artist. Then we look at what changes I have implemented during the Covid-19 restrictions of 2020 and what I plan on keeping post-pandemic. My last question for this show takes us all on a journey through weight divisions in combat sports and what can that mean for self-defence training. Weight categories appear throughout all mainstream full-contact (and semi-contact) combat sports yet Lethwei, Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, some MMA and several competitions retain an open-weight division. How far can attributes outside of size help us? How important is height, reach and ape index? Can strategy win the day? What about attitude? All these questions will be examined and discussed.
Finally, I discuss an abandoned martial arts adaptation of "A Christmas Carol".
