“Sensei Ando has an easy-to-listen to style and great advice for everyone, including non-martial-arts students. I'm only 20-something episodes in, and I look forward to my commute when I have time to listen. Thanks, Sensei, from Nebraska!”Read full review »

My first technique was a strike set: front punch (front hand jab), reverse punch (rear hand jab), hook (lead hand), uppercut (rear hand).

“I found Ando on YouTube when I found his series on self defense. Now, as a high school student who sometimes relies on impulse and what society and my classmates tell me, this podcast helped a ton. As someone who though peace was brought by being timid and soft spoken, I have learned otherwise....”Read full review »

“Sensei Ando mixes motivational speaking and martial arts in this podcast. The self help aspect is a bit blunt.
I find the points he’s making to be relevant though. But it’s definitely beginner oriented rather than meant for the expert.
His interview with Sifu TW Smith was superb and I highly...”Read full review »
