Bah-Jutsu (Christmas Episode)

Send us a text


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".
