If that wasn’t enough, he then proceeds to post grainy footage of the pioneers of the UK JKD scene from old VHS that he’s kept for years.

Tony Pillage is actually the only person to warrant a 2nd show in the history of the micks martial arts podcast. In this episode we sit down and basically try to figure out how surreal it is that we are conversing normally whilst discussing how the spectre of cancer looms over his life.

I mean that in the best possible ways course, I first became aware of Mo in the days of Martial Arts Illustrated magazine as a Jkd guy, guardian angel, reality based instructor and ex soldier. I then met Mo on the seminar circuit where he had his own unique take on what constituted actual conflict on today's streets.

Tim is an awesome martial artist, coach and has coached some seriously impressive mma fighters, including Clay 'The carpenter' Guida.
