Coach Lina Khalifeh is a martial arts practitioner and instructor of Taekwondo. She is a champion, trainer and founder of SheFighter, a self-defense school for women.
Why are women so afraid to stand and defend for themselves? That's how I started. I started teaching self-defense training at the basement of my parent's house. That's how I shifted from taekwondo to creating my own system.
Coach Lina Khalifeh - Episode 476 Addiction is not the most pleasant word to use but Coach Lina Khalifeh is on the good side. As a young child at age 5, Coach Khalifeh is already addicted to discipline, focus, values, and commitment as she goes to train 3x in a week in taekwondo.

**YESTERDAY WAS NATIONAL NURSES DAY**
1. "The nurse is temporarily the consciousness of the unconscious, the love of life of the suicidal, the leg of the amputee, the eyes of the newly blind, a means of locomotion for the newborn , knowledge and confidence for the young mother, a voice for those too weak to speak, and so on." ~ Virginia Henderson
2. "Nurses quietly go about their work in a noble profession, uncelebrated soldiers toiling through the days and nights in service to the sick, the injured and the dying." ~ Steve Lopez
3. "Always thank your nurse. Sometimes they're the only one between you and a hearse." ~ Warren Beatty
4. "The most important practical lesson than can be given to nurses is to teach them what to observe." ~ Florence Nightingale
5. "Constant attention by a good nurse may be just as important as a major operation by a surgeon." ~ Dag Hammarskjold

Today on First Cup with Jeremy (The Martial Arts Morning Coffee Vlog Show):
1. "Mixed martial arts was invented by Brazilians, whose families had been trained by the Japanese. Those Brazilians came to the U.S., where their invention was bought out, gussied up and presented to the world, which found it good." - David Mamet
2. "In martial arts, every time you graduate, move to another level, you don't forget everything you've done. You build on it, but it's always there." - Melody Beattie
3. "Cheerfully fessing up to our failures turns crazy mind off, humility and compassion on. I learned this in a karate dojo that had a strange tradition. Everyone there loved recounting failure stories, and after an evening of smacking one another, we'd sit and have a beer while the students swapped tales of martial arts disaster." - Martha Beck
4. Have martial arts schools been seeing an increase in interest due to Cobra Kai being released on Netflix?
5. Do you think schools will be able to take advantage of this increase in interest in a way that will lead to long term students given the current COVID-19 restrictions in most areas?
6. Do you have squirrels in the attic?

Ms. Susan Spann is a martial arts practitioner and the award-winning author of the Hiro Hattori mystery novels.
"Sometimes power involves making the thinnest of thin lines using only one hair from the tip of the brush but not allowing that line to wobble and become weak. It's the same kind of focused power that you need when you're focusing Qi to break a board or when you are performing a kata at a high level and you need every move to be perfect."
Ms. Susan Spann - Episode 434
There aren't many of us who started the journey to the martial arts with a weapon. Ms. Susan Spann comes from that group as she started when her supportive father gave her a bow and arrow at 5 years old. From there, Ms. Spann trained with a handful of martial arts such as karate, taekwondo, and hapkido to say a few. At the same time, Ms. Susan Spann's interest in Japanese history and martial arts become the foundation of her award-winning Hiro Hattori mystery novels and inspiration to go and live in Japan. In this episode, Ms. Susan Spann shares her experience with the Japanese culture, her health battles, and journey to the martial arts. Listen to learn more!
