Dr. Kevin Keough, host of the Warrior Traditions podcast, interviews Mr. Wim Demeere, author martial artist, and personal trainer. Wim Demeere started working as a personal trainer in 1994 when this profession was still rare in his native country of Belgium. His passion for teaching and helping people improve the quality of their lives has made him a much sought after trainer both at home and across the globe. Over the years he passed on his knowledge to a wide variety of clients: CEOs of global companies, world-class athletes, best-selling authors and many different clients of all ages. Regardless of their background, his objective is always to help them achieve their goals of martial skill, athletic performance and perfect health. In 2002 he began collaborating on several projects with his friend and mentor Mr. Loren W. Christensen. He co-wrote three books with Mr. Christensen, with several more in progress, and has written numerous articles for books and magazines. In June 2006 he completed a video shoot at Paladin Press for a series of instructional tapes and DVDs titled âCombat Sanshou.â Since then he has gone on to release more instructional material. Wim Demeere started his training in the martial arts at age 14 with the study of judo and ju jitsu with Mr. Roland Blanchaert. After a short while he switched to a traditional Chinese style called Hung Chia Pai with Mr. Jean-Louis Gonsette, a pioneer of Chinese martial arts in Europe. Mr. Gonsetteâs classes were physically and mentally challenging, which inspired him to train hard both during and outside of the classes. This brutal and effective style ignited his passion for the martial arts and he began a lifelong journey of study and training. At age 18 he began competing in full contact tournaments and specialized in Chinese free fighting competitions called âsanda.â After obtaining his first national title he moved on to the international scene and participated in several European and World championships. Throughout his career he became the Belgian national champion four times and held the bronze medal at the 1993 Wushu world championships in Malaysia. He retired from full-contact competitions in 2000 when he became nationaltrainer for the sanda team of the Belgian Wushu Federation. In 1997 he started his study of Practical Tai Chi Chuan with Mr. Patrick Couder and continues to do so to this day. This internal martial art complimented his experience in the external styles and became an important part of his training. Throughout the years he has studied a broad range of other fighting styles, including muay Thai, kali, pentjak silat and shoot fighting. He continues to practice and research martial arts daily in Belgium and across the globe. Visit his website and blog.

Dr. Kevin Keough, host of the Warrior Traditions podcast, interviews Mr. Darryl Johnson, MEDIA MOGULS, INCORPORATED (MMI) host and president. Legally blinded by a rare genetic disease, retinitis pigmentosa, Mr. Darryl Johnson has dedicated himself to learning martial arts and helping others like himself to learn martial arts, both to stay in shape and protect themselves against attacks. So it begins, at the age of 34, Mr. Darryl-James Johnson emerges from his sleep in a dream world where he cannot see most things and the few things he can see are a struggle to bring into focus. Later Mr. Johnson learns that he has been diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a degenerative genetic disease that typically starts with the loss of night and peripheral vision; and, over time total blindness can occur. Darryl Johnson has been married for the past 15 years and has two kids. Their ages are 5 and 10. The support he receives from his family and the steadfast support he receives from Jesus Christ enables Mr. Johnson to cope with his eye disease.

Dr. Kevin Keough, host of the Warrior Traditions podcast, interviews Mr. Bob Orlando, creator of The Fighting Forms of Kuntao-Silat DVD and workbook published by Paladin Press. A resident of Denver, Colorado, and a computer professional for nearly 4 decades, Bob Orlando was introduced to the martial arts while on active duty in the U.S. Marines (1961-1964). However, it was not until after he left the service that the flicker of interest that was kindled there became his consuming fire. Orlando began serious study in Chinese kenpo-karate in October, 1968. Shortly thereafter he switched to kung fu, studying under Al Dacascos (then teaching in Denver, Colorado). His training with Dacascos lasted three years until a back operation made it impossible to continue in Dacascos' high-kicking style of kung fu. It was back to Chinese kenpo. There Bob received his first-degree black belt from Dr. John P. Cochran. Although Bob has subsequently earned additional rank, he prefers to say that he is a student of the arts and leave it at that. Rank, he says, is excess baggage. It becomes a hindrance to learning because everyone expects that you already know everything. Ever a student of the arts, Bob's quest for knowledge has taken him into aikido, Small-Circle Jujitsu, grappling, iaido, arnis de mano, and eskrima. However, what has impacted him the most are the years he has spent studying Chinese kuntao and Dutch-Indonesian pukulan pentjak silat under Dutch-Indonesian master Willem de Thouars. After a decade of training with de Thouars, Bob received his teaching certificate from him in 1994. A graduate of a Jesuit university, Bob is the author of Indonesian Fighting Fundamentals The Brutal Arts of the Archipelago, Martial Arts America: A Western Approach to Eastern Arts, and four highly recommended martial art videos. While not a professional martial artist (one who makes his living from martial arts), Bob still considers himself a full-time practitioner, for he studies and trains constantly. His school is a small one, and that's just the way he likes it. Our school is our laboratory. There, we test everything from the practicality of forms training and techniques, to the latest craze in self-defense. We have a formal curriculum -- from white to black belt -- although it is not cut in stone. I guess that for us, the concrete is never quite dry, for we are constantly learning. Of his own abilities, he says, I have skills. After some four decades in the arts, I ought to. But my skills came not because I have any natural physical talent, but because I worked very hard to get to where I am today. My strengths are my singleness of purpose (my unwavering dedication to personal excellence in self-defense) and my analytical mind. My contribution to the art comes not from what I can do physically. Rather, it comes from my God-given ability to share what I know with others. I take the complicated and make it simple. Visit his website.

Dr. Kevin Keough, host of the Warrior Traditions and North Star Guardians podcast, interviews Air Force Colonel Leo Thorsness about his book, Surviving Hell: A POW's Journey published by Encounter Books. Colonel Thorsness enlisted in the Air Force at the age of 19, mainly because he had a brother serving in Korea. Though he didnât make it to Korea himself, he stayed in the military, becoming an officer and a fighter pilot. In 1966, he went to Vietnam as part of a squadron of specially modified two-seat F-105 âWild Weaselâ aircraft that had the job of finding and destroying surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites. On April 19, 1967, Colonel, then Major, Thorsness and his electronic warfare officer, Captain Harold E. Johnson, were on a missile suppression mission over North Vietnam. He and his wingman attacked and silenced a surface-to-air missile site with air-to-ground missiles and then destroyed a second site with bombs. In the attack on the second missile site, Colonel Thorsnessâ wingman was shot down by intensive antiaircraft fire and the two crewmembers abandoned their aircraft. Colonel Thorsness circled the descending parachutes to keep the crewmembers in sight and relay their position to the Search and Rescue Center. During this maneuver, a MIG-17 was sighted in the area. Thorsness immediately initiated an attack and destroyed the MIG. Because his aircraft was low on fuel, Colonel Thorsness was forced to depart the area in search of a tanker. Upon being advised that two helicopters were orbiting over the downed crewâs position and that there were hostile MIGs in the area posing a serious threat to the helicopters, despite his low fuel condition, Colonel Thorsness decided to return through a hostile environment of surface-to-air missiles and antiaircraft defenses to the downed crewâs position. As he approached the area, he spotted four MIG-17 aircraft and immediately initiated an attack, damaging one and driving the others away from the rescue scene. When it became apparent that an aircraft in the area was critically low on fuel and the crew would have to abandon the aircraft unless they could reach a tanker, Thorsness, although critically short on fuel himself, helped avert further possible loss of life and a friendly aircraft by recovering at a forward operating base, thus allowing the aircraft in emergency fuel condition to refuel safely. Just as Thorsness landed, his fuel ran out and the engine shut down. Two weeks later, he was shot down over North Vietnam on his ninety-third mission. He bailed out and was captured and wound up as a prisoner of war for a period of six years during which time he suffered torture on a regular basis. He was released in March, 1973 and was presented with his Medal of Honor on October 15, 1973. Ten days later, no longer able to fly fighters due to injuries sustained in captivity, he retired from the Air Force. During his career, Colonel Thorsness earned the Medal of Honor, the Silver Star, the Distinguished Flying Cross with five Oak Leaf Clusters, and the Purple Heart with one Oak Leaf Cluster. He currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation. He and his wife Gaylee reside in Saddlebrook, Arizona.
