Burton Richardson is a Black Belt Hall of Fame martial artist with over four decades of training. He's an instructor under Dan Inosanto in Jeet Kune Do and Filipino Kali, trained in Zulu stick fighting in South Africa, an original Dog Brothers member, and has coached top MMA fighters.
We discuss his evolution from teaching everything to focusing only on pressure-tested techniques. Burton shares why his students carry training weapons during grappling to build constant awareness, how to adapt sport training for street reality, and his philosophy of martial arts as "the art of overcoming obstacles"—a mindset that applies to fighting and life.
