“This podcast is absolutely perfect for anyone who is both a history geek and a martial arts nerd.
Sifu TW Smith shares his passion for martial arts and this podcast was my gateway into taking ownership over my own martial journey.”

“I've listened to several of Sifu Smith's podcasts and only recently did it occur to me that I hadn't yet come to iTunes to give both him and the podcast five well-deserved stars. Sifu Smith, mea culpa for that oversight! :-)
Of the few martial arts podcasts that I listen to on a regular basis, I...”Read full review »

“The candor of TW Smith on his approach to Gung Fu ... His fearlessness in pronunciation of chinese words and names. The interviews have depth and are fascinating. Sifu Smith is able to draw out these teachers and get to the meat of their practice quickly. I appreciate that Sifu Smith doesn't...”Read full review »

“In this podcast, Sifu Smith often says that he practices kung fu "to be a better person first, and a better martial artist second." At first hearing, this seems a little bit like an excuse to be a mediocre martial artist. But after listening to every episode of this podcast and most of its...”Read full review »

“Kung Fu Podcast is about kung fu, and much more. If you think of kung fu as a specific style of Chinese martial art, you will enjoy Sifu TW Smith's delivery of history, culture, and explanations of various aspects of this fighting system. If you think of kung fu as "learned skill," or...”Read full review »

“Wonderfully ecumenical approach. Many excellent topics discussed, and I especially appreciate his non-magical approach to internal practices.
Mr Smith's delivery is prepared but still natural. He addresses root causes, not surface details.”

“Sifu Smith has a serene and calm delivery and tells wonderful stories of traditional and modern martial arts. Some podcasts are down and dirty--how to escape or apply a choke hold. In others he waxes philosophical on the moral implications of the martial arts. He also debunks myths and gives the...”Read full review »

I can't get enough of it, it's always on my mind and I try to apply everything I learn in class to my life. I...”Read full review »
