Don’t Kick the Instructor. He Kicks Back.

Life & Safety with Jimmy Rios

What happens when you mix martial arts, a little peer pressure, and three people who should definitely not be sparring at work?

You get a wild, hilarious, and surprisingly insightful podcast episode on self-defense, teamwork, and knowing your limits.

Jimmy is sharing stories from his many many years of martial arts training... from the moves he’s mastered to the injuries he’s racked up along the way (including one unfortunate groin incident that’s hard to forget). Then Megan and Miguel share what it felt like to step into their very first kickboxing class and how a few simple tips made them feel stronger, safer, and more prepared to handle themselves in the real world.

But don't get us wrong, this episode isn’t about how to win a fight... it’s about how to avoid one, how protect yourself, and how to get the confidence to maybe throw an elbow or two if it comes to that. Whether you’ve got martial arts experience or even if you’ve never stepped foot in a gym, you’ll come finish out this episode with a new appreciation for confidence, distance, and the power of staying calm under pressure.
