Ep 44 - Callsign: "Singa Karo" MMA Champion, Coach, Gym Founder, Community Builder
from Zen & Callsigns · host Blake Fisher
In this episode of Zen & Callsigns, Blake Fisher sits down with Theo Ginting, former Indonesian MMA and boxing champion, founder of Lions MMA Bali, and a coach whose greatest victories happened outside the cage.Theo shares an unfiltered story of growing up in Jakarta, battling depression and addiction, and finding salvation through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts. What began as an escape from self-destruction became a lifelong mission to build disciplined athletes, stronger families, and a community grounded in purpose.Together, Blake and Theo explore the nature of masculinity, fatherhood, entrepreneurship, faith, Indonesian culture, resilience, and why the strongest men are often the ones who choose peace despite having the capacity for violence.This conversation goes far beyond combat sports. It's about suffering, transformation, leadership, and discovering that the greatest fight isn't against another person—it's against the parts of ourselves that keep us from becoming who we're capable of being.Whether you're a martial artist, entrepreneur, veteran, parent, or simply someone searching for purpose, Theo's story is a powerful reminder that discipline can become freedom, community can become healing, and a life can be completely rewritten.
