My name’s Jeremy Lesniak, and I founded Whistlekick, but I’m also your host for Martial Arts Radio. Whistlekick, as so many of you know already, makes the world’s best sparring gear, as well as really great apparel and accessories, all for practitioners and fans of traditional martial arts. I’d like to welcome our new listeners, and thank those of you checking us out again. If you’re not familiar with our products, why don’t you head on over to Whistlekick.com and take a look at everything we make? One of our most popular gear items is our shin guards. They’re double layered where it counts, shaped to wrap around your shin, and the design not only makes them more comfortable and effective, but they last longer.

Today we get to hear from Grandmaster John Pellegrini. As the founder of Combat Hapkido, which has been called the science of self defense, Grandmaster Pellegrini has become very much in demand as a seminar presenter. He also holds rank in Taekwondo, and has received significant media attention over his career. His episode came as a suggestion from one of our listeners, and I’m so glad we reached out to him. He’s an entertaining man and a passionate martial artist, two qualities that always translate to a great episode. Don’t skip over today’s outro as we ended up adding a bit of our personal conversation after the show ended. So let’s roll!
