Karate for mental health interview with Les Bubka 🥋
I’ve just had the privilege of speaking with Les Bubka. The man needs no introduction, but he’s the founder of Karate for Mental Health and Les Bubka Karate Jutsu.
We spoke at length about the important topic of mental health and how the martial arts can help to supplement professional care.
We covered a variety of topics including:
🧠 Mental health in general
🧠 Les’ own journey
🧠 Karate for mental health
🧠 Tips for taking care of your own mental health
📖 Les’ book, Anxious Black Belt
🧘♂️ Meditation
🤝 Ways to create an inclusive environment
🧠 Anxiety and controlled failure
💻 Posting content online and dealing with others’ opinions
😊 Positive thinking
I really enjoyed it and learned a lot, and I’m sure you will too.

Interview with Kudo Mal Sanchez-Jones
I had the pleasure of speaking with Kudo Mal Sanchez-Jones today 🎙
Mal’s the branch chief for Kudo in Wales.
We discussed the really important topic of working with Neurodivergent people in the martial arts.
We also covered a whole host of other topics including Kudo, honesty and vulnerability, and bullying.
I really enjoyed this chat, as all the subjects were ones at the core of my Warrior Spirit philosophy of Train, Grow, Belong.
