Great website, I love the Podcasts. I think it would be great if you interviewed Ralek Gracie. He was recently (last 6 months) promoted to Black Belt by Helio and Royce. Additionally, he has fought in and won two MMA fights in Japan as well. He is also an instructor at the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy.

Another interesting topic might be the creation and growth of the Modern Army Combatives program as well as the results of the tournament held at Fort Benning 3-5 OCT.

While I am on a role of great ideas for you, how about an interview where you talk to a martial arts instructor that has integrated BJJ into their program of instruction in addition to the other striking martial arts and 1. how the transition has affected their students; 2. How their peers treat/reacted to the change. I know of two 1. Bill Odom from the Norfolk Martial Arts Academy and Eddie Camden from the Tiger Martial Arts Academy in Atlanta.

A good name for your conversations with Doc might be the “Mat Burn” section.

Thanks for your consideration.

Will Daniel
