As you know I love speaking to people about their training in the martial arts. Whether currently training or reminiscing about previous training I enjoy hearing how the lessons learned in the martial arts are brought to other aspects of peoples lives. Today's a big day for my guest doctoral candidate Stuart Pearson. Today is a day he defends his thesis in the Netherlands. Originally recorded over the Christmas holidays last year I spoke with Stuart about his time training with me and how he feels the martial arts has helped prepare him for his thesis defense.
