🥋 PART 2 NOW LIVE – CHUCK EPPERSON on FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS + SYSTEM EXPANSION
In Part 2 of my interview with Mr. Chuck Epperson, we dive into his influential exposure to Filipino martial arts — including Kali and Doce Pares Eskrima — introduced initially by GM Huk Planas and later developed under Grand Master Anthony Kleeman.
These studies led to black belts in Eskrima, Eskrido and Pangamont — forming a level of blended integration rarely seen — and one that eventually shaped his functional street-oriented hybrid: Kenpo Kali.
We examine the evolution of arts, the necessity of adaptability, and the real-world application arc that comes through principle — not tradition alone.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Sensei John Marrable, we continue an extraordinary story of perseverance and mastery.
From self-teaching techniques in his early years to earning his Rokudan (6th Dan) in Okinawa under Sensei Higaonna, John’s journey is a powerful reminder that the martial arts are as much about inner strength as physical skill.
Hear how Sensei Higaonna once presented John with his own belt — not as a grading, but as a profound symbol of respect and admiration for his spirit and dedication. That moment, and many others, reflect a lifetime of courage and humility that continues to inspire martial artists around the world.

As the host of The Mind Sensei Podcast, I get to meet warriors from every walk of life—but few embody the indomitable spirit of martial arts, resilience, and true inclusion like my guest this week: Sensei John Marrable.
John’s journey started in Romford, England, where a childhood accident at age ten left him a paraplegic. Rather than allowing this moment to limit him, it set him on a path of transformation and empowerment. When his family moved to Dunedin, New Zealand, John discovered Okinawan Goju Ryu karate. What began as a search for fitness and self-confidence became the foundation of a lifetime legacy.
Today, John is a 7th dan black belt and the founder of the Dunedin Institute of Traditional Karate—a dojo renowned not only for technical excellence but for its fiercely inclusive atmosphere. Here, John teaches able-bodied and disabled students side by side, proving every class that martial arts is for everyone. His innovation and compassion extend beyond the dojo mats, with John leading by example as an international Para athlete, marathon finisher, and passionate self-defense advocate.
But it’s not just medals and accolades that define him. John’s philosophy—“The fitter you are, the healthier you’ll be, which leads to a better quality of life”—is something he puts into practice daily, both in his competitive achievements and his tireless mentorship. His story is packed with lessons about perseverance, the power of mindset, and the importance of accessible coaching in sports and life.
In this episode, we talk about:
The origins and evolution of John’s martial arts journey
Building a truly inclusive dojo and the impact of adaptive karate
The mental and physical strategies that have fueled decades of athletic success
Stories from marathons and Para sport competitions representing New Zealand
Why advocacy, mentorship, and giving back matter so much to John
Get ready to be inspired, challenged, and uplifted. Whether you’re a martial artist, athlete, coach, or just seeking motivation to overcome your own obstacles, John Marrable’s perspective is one you won’t want to miss.

The Mind Sensei Podcast with Host Peter Tas
In this special memorial edition of The Mind Sensei Podcast, host Peter Tas and the Deep Dive Team pay tribute to one of the most respected figures in American Kenpo Karate — Senior Master of the Arts, Guru Richard “Huk” Planas.
For over six decades, Mr. Planas dedicated his life to refining, preserving, and teaching the art of Kenpo. Known around the world as the “Instructor’s Instructor,” he had a rare ability to break down the why behind every technique, helping generations of martial artists understand the true essence of motion, logic, and self-mastery.
In this episode, we explore his incredible journey — from his early days training under Senior Grandmaster Ed Parker in Fresno, to his pivotal role in the Fresno Four, the creation of the Big Red Manual, and his global influence as a teacher, mentor, and innovator.
We also reflect on his love of music, his memorable adventures with legends like Elvis Presley, and his craftsmanship in blades, bullwhips, and the finer details of life.
His mantra, “Fight like you train,” continues to inspire martial artists everywhere — a reminder of the realism, precision, and heart that defined his teaching.
Join us as we celebrate the life, lessons, and legacy of a true master whose flame will continue to guide the world of Kenpo for generations to come.
Rest in peace, Guru Richard “Huk” Planas — your art, wisdom, and spirit live on.
