DOUG MARCAIDA | Tempering Violence Through Skill and Familiarity

Extreme violence is something not all of us are likely to face, and that's a good thing. But that doesn't mean it can't happen at the drop of a hat. And, in that moment, it is significantly better to be prepared and aware of what could happen than to be ignorant to it completely. And, that is where my guest today, Doug Marcaida, comes in. He is a martial artist, edge-weapons specialist, and knife designer. And, he is one of the judges on the extremely popular History Channel show, Forged in Fire. Today we talk about creating a home as a safe environment for your family, the culture of violence, martial arts and their efficacy, curbing the beast inside of us all, the concept of "verbal judo," and ultimately how to temper violence though skill and familiarity.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Making home the safe place for your kids You don't have to be like your parents Finding comfort in the practice of martial arts The predators are always armed Make your fear your strength We are armed all the time You should not take martial arts to become violent Using martial marts to transition from the military We have to weigh our principles  Deescalate by using humor   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?
