• Knockdown Radio #1 - Judd Reid 14.05.2026 1ó 4p

  Welcome to the first ever episode of the Knockdown Radio podcast. My goal with this show is to provide full contact karate athletes and coaches with practical information they can use to optimise their training and competition performance. I’ll also be diving into the minds of some of the world’s best fighters and instructors, giving them the opportunity to share the insights that have made them so successful. To see the video version, head over to our youtube page https://youtu.be/2j9wb_YeVm0 My first guest is the legendary Judd Reid, one of the very few foreigners to complete the uchi deshi program under Yoshiji Soeno and one of the few people to complete the 100-man kumite. We explore his experiences at Honbu and how these shaped his fighting career, as well as what he learned from his time in Thailand, and how his extensive experience has influenced his coaching style. If you’re looking to improve the strength and conditioning side of your karate training, check out my book The Science of Striking, a comprehensive 500 page guide to physical preparation for stand up combat athletes. The book is available on Amazon, or you can order directly from the website and receive a 20% discount using the code KDR26.
