What's up and welcome back, folks. This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Eli Adams, martial artist and host of the Combat and Coaching Podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation that blends pop culture and personal insight.
We kick things off with a deep dive into our mutual love for comic books, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and The Walking Dead, before shifting gears into something many grapplers can relate to—getting back to the gym after time away.
Eli opens up about the anxiety and internal resistance that can come with returning to martial arts training, as well as the challenges of finding that spark again when motivation runs low. We talk about managing social exhaustion, the emotional toll of coaching, and the meaningful responsibility that comes with being a mentor.
To wrap things up, we geek out over recent horror releases like Final Destination: Bloodlines and Sinners, comparing notes and sharing early impressions. Whether you’re here for the mats or the movies, this one’s got a little bit of everything.
