As a thank you for being here, we’d love to give you a free gift. A few years ago, Erik and I teamed up with our good friend and author David Badurina to write Joy-Jitsu, a book about our mindset, the struggles of building Budo Brothers, and how martial arts principles helped us turn obstacles into opportunities while creating the lifestyle and business you see today. It’s a story about chasing your dreams and building a life filled with purpose, resilience, and joy. We originally wrote it for our 20-year-old selves, but we wanted to share it with you as well. Simply click the link below to go to our store checkout, where the promo code FREEJOY will automatically give you a 100% discount on both the digital book and audiobook downloads. 👉 https://bit.ly/4qgVJY9 If the book resonates with you, we’d appreciate you helping spread the message — share it with someone who might need it, or pick up a physical copy for a friend who could benefit from it. We hope you enjoy it. Much love, Erik, Kyle & David

The votes are in — and we have a winner! This Sunday, March 22 at 11:00 AM MST, we’re hosting a free live seminar inside the Academy called: Dirty Fighting: Know What Your Opponent Will Do So You’re Prepared We’ll be travelling to Bellingham, Washington, to film with Sifu Martin Gonzalez as we begin developing a new digital seminar on dirty fighting and real-world combat tactics. Because you’re a member of this Academy, we’re offering a free live seminar. This is your chance to get an early look at the concepts before the full course is released. We’ll also be answering your questions about dirty street tactics and discussing how to train your traditional martial arts so they translate effectively to real self-defense. The purpose of this training is simple: to give martial artists a clear understanding of what street combat can actually look like—including the dirty tactics that may be used—so you know what to expect and how to respond. Many martial artists spend years in structured training environments, but it’s important to understand what works, what doesn’t, and what behaviors to watch for in real situations. This session will help bridge that gap. The seminar will be live on Zoom and free for all Academy members. 👉 The Zoom link is posted in the Calendar section. Make sure to add it to your calendar so you don’t miss it. We’re looking forward to seeing you there. We have attached a video
