The BizJitsu Podcast

In this episode, we catch up with Razor Rob McCullough and Nathan Broadmax to discuss the Razor Striking System (RSS), a self-defense system rooted in Muay Thai. We discuss the development of the RSS curriculum, its goals, and the importance of creating a supportive environment for students. RSS aims to make striking accessible to a wider audience. In this conversation, Rob and Nate delve into their experiences in martial arts, discussing the differences between self-defense training and combat sports, the evolution of training, and the importance of building a community through martial arts. We explore the business side of martial arts and envision the future of structured training programs for beginners and experienced practitioners. The discussion highlights the significance of self-defense, the growth of jiu-jitsu, and the potential for martial arts to be both a hobby and a viable business. In this conversation, Rob and Nate discuss various personal and professional projects, including a science fiction novel, a growing YouTube channel for jiu jitsu, and the development of a martial arts program. You can learn more about Rob on IG:⁠@razorob⁠⁠@razorstrikingsystemYou can learn more about Nathan online:⁠www.victoremlaw.com⁠IG: ⁠@nmbrodnax⁠YouTube: ⁠@BJJforBreakfast⁠Chapters00:00 Introduction to the BizJitzu Podcast02:59 Razor Striking System Overview06:03 The Goals of Striking Training08:59 Curriculum Development and Iteration12:09 Progression and Retention in Training15:10 Real-World Applications of Striking18:13 The Importance of Structure in Martial Arts20:48 Accessibility of Striking for All23:59 Cultural Aspects of Muay Thai and Striking28:01 Sparring Stories and Training Dynamics29:21 Self-Defense vs. Combat Sports Training31:00 The Evolution of Training Methods33:22 The Journey of Martial Arts Together35:39 Business and Martial Arts: A Partnership39:10 The Future of Martial Arts Programs42:39 Building a Community Through Martial Arts46:43 The Importance of Self-Defense Training49:45 The Evolution of Jiu-Jitsu and Combat Sports56:33 Reflections on Personal Growth and Projects01:06:53 Building a Successful Martial Arts Program01:17:30 Podcast Evolution and Future PlansKeywordsRSS, Razor Striking System, martial arts, self-defense, striking training, curriculum development, member retention, Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu, fitness, martial arts, self-defense, combat sports, training methods, community building, sparring, business in martial arts, future of training, personal growth, podcasting, science fiction, training, coaching, community, business, writing
