Jaredd started the Martial Thoughts Podcast in 2013 as a discussion with his friends about martial arts.  It has since evolved into a platform for martial arts ideas and interviews with authors and other martial arts personalities.  Its goal is now to provide a voice for the legitimate discussion of all aspects of martial arts, including HEMA and Asian.  Some of the more notable interviews have been: Iain Abernethy, Dave Baker (Forged In Fire-Judge), Anthony DeLongis , Stephen K. Hayes, Lawrence Kane, Jared Kirby (CombatCon President), Richard Marsden, F. Braun McAsh, Ben Miller, Kris Wilder, and James Williams (Nami ryu). Enjoy my interview with Jarred.
