The Book of Five Rings is a classic text on strategy and combat written by legendary samurai, Miyamoto Musashi nearly 400 years ago. Today I am joined by Mark Mireles to talk about how the wisdom contained in this book is still relevant for self protection today. Mark is a 2 time recipient of the LAPD Medal of Valor, a threat assessment and personal protection practitioner, and a high ranking martial artist in several styles. He combines incredible personal experience in frontline self-protection with classical training and a deep appreciation for written works on life, death and combat. Please enjoy this conversation, Ancient Wisdom for Modern Self-Protection with Mark Mireles.   *** Make sure you check out our full catalogue of episodes at www.violencepod.com If you'd like to support the show, you'll find lots of opportunities at www.violencepod.com/support And if you'd like to talk about myself or my team helping out your organisation, business or club, go to www.violencepod.com/training

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
