Before we go further with the episode I want to let you know about my student Liam Benton:

https://gofund.me/9e790be8

He is 15 years old Australian MMA athlete from Gold Coast QLD. His family is trying to raise money to get him to Sofia, Bulgaria to represent Australia in the IMMAF Youth MMA World Championships in July!

Liam has been working so hard to make his dreams a reality and he is so close to making them happen. But this is particularly tricky at the moment due to COVID. It is a very big privilege and honour to compete in the World Championships and we are so very proud of him to have gotten to this level in the sport that he loves and wants to pursue as his career.

All the money that will be raised will go towards the registration, flights, accommodation and quarantine costs on his return to Australia. His Dad will also be travelling with him, to support and corner Liam on his fights.

Thank you so much for your support and I hope you decide to help make his dream a reality too!

Thank you.

Hi and thank you for tuning in to The Fight Is All Podcast. This episode is different from the others and it is very sport specific.

The record is provided by the Sambo Federation of Australia, and it is the Sambo refereeing seminar conducted for the Australian federation by

Dmitry Maximov

Sports Director of the International SAMBO Federation

The seminar was participated from coaches from around Australia. It is very sport specific and if you listen to this by audio I highly recommend switching to the video version for this episode, because it contains a lot of video material for certain specific situations and details of Sambo refereeing.

https://rumble.com/vemwcd-the-fight-is-all-podcast-37-dmitry-maximov.html

In the beginning of the episode for people not familiar with Sambo & Combat Sambo rule set I am giving brief background of the rules, so all the details later provided by Dmitry Maximov have a base upon.

As part of development of Sambo sport in Australia, I am offering series of free Sambo workshops in Queensland. To book a free Sambo & Combat Sambo workshop in your academy in Queensland contact me on Telegram: https://t.me/SamboQLD.

We talk about the consequences of the extended lockdowns in Europe over the amateur and professional sports, measures promotions are taking to create bubbles and keep going with shows and athletes pathways from grass roots to professional level. Having a professional journalist on the podcast, the whole conversation the phrase “who interviews the interviewer” was pushing me smiling. At least having Jake talking from the UK, guarantees this time at least half of the people in this episode do not have heavy eastern European accent.

Hi and thank you for tuning in to The Fight Is All Podcast. In this episode I talk with the president of Sambo Federation in Australia:

Saveliy Timofeev
Sava as many Russian kids started training in Sambo as early as eight years old.
His parent moved to Kazakhstan where he intensively trains muay thai but an brutal street fight injury puts an early end of his competitive career.

During the turbulent times after the war in Chechnya he moves in Saint Petersburg Russia to study Civil Engineering in the military academy, where he finds himself in a situation to deal with a university gang and grow up to Sambo wrestling educator in the university.

By the influence of his brother he started practicing the rare combat system by the name Real Aikido developed by the Serbian martial artist Ljubomir Vračarević who becomes his mentor.

In order to fulfil the dream of his teacher to have schools at every continent he moves to Australia, where opens his school and his students compete in various grappling tournaments.

Later he establishes contact with the world governing body of Sambo FIAS.

Today is balancing his responsibilities as father in his big family with development of Sambo sport in Australia as head of Australian Sambo Federation.

Hi and thank you for tuning in to The Fight Is All Podcast. In this episode I talk with a friend of mine, traveller, adventurer and fighter:

Patrick Holmes

Have multiple striking arts titles in karate, sanda and Muay-Thai:
GKR Karate British Champion

UKMF Northern Area Champion
Anglo-Scottish WKA Champion

Awarded Champion of his Mothers Heart in male category since his sister is her favourite.

He is also
Bsc (Hons) Psychology of Sport and Exercise

Patrick is one of those guys that are like real life comics heroes – he travels, he fights, he is natural, and always open.

His striking style mostly based on Muay-Thai is such, that I would never try to fight like him, or teach someone to, but in the same time I myself love training with him, because when we spar his way of fighting is always pushing me thinking outside the box.

He is one of most interesting people I know and this talk stretches from his personal martial arts story to some of the agenda we seen unfolding in front of our eyes in the recent years, while those stuff was recently referred just as conspiracy.
I feel he has a lot more to say about that, but I tried to keep the talk in a listenable limit, however I am already looking towards doing a second episode with him to continue this talk.

Follow Patrick at:

山口怜臣 Reo Yamaguchi

-JMMAF National Champion

-2 times IMMAF World Vice-champion

One of my old coaches was saying “fighters all over the world carry the same blood, and they always will find a way to understand each other”. This applies with full power to this episode with one of my personal favourite fighters in IMMAF. While battling the language barrier with Reo Yamaguchi we managed to speak about valuable tips for tournament style weight cut, representing traditional martial arts in MMA and proper pathway for an MMA athlete. This episode also proves that Reo’s English is way better than my Japanese.

Bezan Mahmudi

- 3 times Swedish ADCC Champion

I caught Bezan juggling her busy schedule between work, trainings and spiritual practices. We talked about the current restrictions in Australia compared to common sense approach in Sweden, the difficulties of juggling work, training and other responsibilities as an amateur athlete, using visualization and your mind as a training partner. At the end of the conversation I found out about her Kurdish background, which opens ground for way more serious topics, but out of respect for the recovery time of Bezan during Ramadan I left this for our next conversation.

I was very sleepy while doing this episode because I had to wake up early to talk with Ryan because of the time difference with Europe. We chatted about his way to stay in shape during the current lock-down, the Wimp 2 Warrior program and the youth IMMAF rule set. I hope you will enjoy this as much sleepy I was.

Scott Steer

 is a combat army veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq. He is Judo black belt competing and coaching over the years for Victoria, Western Australia, Queensland and the Australian & New Zealand national teams in Judo. 

 Scott is founder of the Veteran Grappling community program developed to offer free lessons in Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling and yoga. The program is designed to help Military Veterans deal with mental and physical health issues through training in combat sports, such as PTSD, anger management, by meditation, and physical exertion. Veteran Grappling has joined forces with a medical team who are currently conducting scientific research on how combat sports are a successful form of treatment for veterans dealing with psychological and physical health issues. 

I got carried away in my conversation with Scott, and how the combat sports prepare him for the extreme environment in which professional soldiers work, and how grappling helps in healing process to bring veterans back to the civil life, so I even forgot to take picture with him for the episode, so I stall some from the Veteran Grappling Facebook Page 

and Veteran Grappling in Instagram  

You can learn more about the program at RSL website, 

or contact Scott at

Jordan Sullivan  is a combat athlete himself and has an undergraduate degree in Exercise and Nutrition Science, and a Masters of Dietetic studies. He is working with amateur and professional UFC level athletes. His 

The Fight Science Podcast

 Is my favorite one, he talks with various scientists involved in the combat sports who break down the problems and methods of weight cutting. It is exciting to see how athletes who now get involved in science bring it now back into the combat sports and raise the game to a completely new level of understanding and performance. Unless you are not super-heavyweight who never have to worry about weight cut, I think this podcast is a must for every combat sport athlete. Get in touch with Jordan at:
