"And we\'re all trying to do the same thing - we\'re trying to teach. To me, it just opened my horizons tremendously. \\xa0And I think I\'m a better teacher for it."

This episode is with Hanshi Jim Smith, a Goju practitioner from New\\xa0York\\xa0and the founder of the Goju-Te style of Karate. Despite holding a 10th dan (degree) rank, Hanshi smith is as humble a black belt as I\'ve met and also an avid competitor. In fact, I don\'t know of anyone that competes as actively as Hanshi Smith. It\'s clear that he loves martial arts and loves competing, so I was excited to get him on the show.

I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation as Hanshi Smith shared wonderful stories and great insights. I\'m sure we could have talked all day, and I look forward to our next conversation.
