I’m very lucky in the course of doing these that I can exercise more than a bit of nepotism and interview literally anyone I want, this episodes guest is a dear friend, who’ve I’ve wanted to get for a long time now…

This gent is legitimately one of the toughest men I’ve ever encountered, a true student of the sweet science and someone who worked for years as a door man and was a mainstay of top ‘teams’ supplying security through the infamous ‘rave culture’ era. He was also one of the first guys I met that was intelligently training and mixing the arts in the early days of MMA.
Sometimes it’s good to let a guest speak for themselves on the show, if they can get a word in edgeways, but for the first time ever I’m going to let the guest own words be the intro.. we don’t even talk about sports really in this, but a recent Facebook status he posted will illustrate just how adroit this returning guest is.. in fact I’m hoping to catch him every time we meet up, as he constantly enlightens me with his insights..so, with this status gem from Guro Christopher Harley to initially whet your appetite first.. enjoy the show!
This weeks guest is an adventurer, a historian, a publisher, the first world Silat champion, a member of the dirty dozen (one of the first twelve non Brazillian’s to attain a black belt), the father of Bjj in Australasia, one of the top five teachers I’ve ever met in any sphere, and finally a man I’m honoured to call a friend as well as mentor and inspiration.. the one and only John B Will.
