I had the profound honour of joining Jamie Nottingham on his Martial Praxis podcast, a conversation that lingered in my mind long after we wrapped. Jamie is no ordinary martial artist. With seventeen years immersed in the physical and philosophical disciplines of combat arts, he has traversed an impressive landscape: from the grounded leverage of BJJ and Judo to the flowing internal movements of Tai Chi and Baguazhang, from the fierce strikes of Muay Thai and Kyokushin to the grappling traditions of Sambo and Shuai Jiao. His journey encompasses MMA, Kickboxing, Capoeira, Bak Mei, and Aikido, but it extends far beyond technique alone. Equally devoted to the inner realms, Jamie explores meditation, Buddhism, Taoism, Reiki, Yogic philosophy, and other esoteric spiritual paths. On Martial Praxis, these threads all weave together into a rich dialogue that transcends mere discussion, it becomes inquiry, reflection, and discovery. What unfolds between us is a genuine exchange, one I hope you’ll experience for yourself. You can find Jamie on Instagram.
