Interview with Russian fight scientist, George Basargin
I knew of Geroge Basargin before as I had seen his fighters competing in the local tournaments. But I had not met him until one of my good friends said he has been doing personal training with him and has been very impressed with his knowledge.
I have been around for a while training martail arts for years and don’t get impressed with someone very easily. But I can tell you George is very technical and knowledgable and has a very good eye in noticing and correcting problems.
Interview with “Teacher of Teachers”, John Graden
I did this interview with Mr. Graden back in 2005. If you are a martial arts professional you definitely know of him. His book Black Belt Management was revolutionary and he has helped so many martial arts instructors and school owners to make a living by doing what they love.
I think I have read all of his books and have learned a lot. I have interviewed with him over email in couple of occasions and he has graciously accomodated it although I am sure he is a very busy individual.
I hope we finally meet one day. Thank you sir for all you have done for martial arts.
