🎧 Episode Release – The Mind Sensei Podcast 

In this three-part series of The Mind Sensei Podcast, host Peter Tas sits down with Glenn Haley, a 7th Degree Black Belt and Senior Professor in Ed Parker’s American Kenpo Karate.

Born prematurely and told he would likely never live a physically demanding life, Glenn Haley defied early limitations through discipline, resilience, and nearly 40 years of martial arts training. A direct student of Senior Master John Sepulveda, Glenn’s journey spans traditional Kenpo, professional kickboxing, grappling, MMA, international competition, school ownership, and executive leadership in engineering and technology.

Across this in-depth conversation, we explore:

• How adversity shapes mindset and character

• The responsibility that comes with real skill

• Competition as a tool for pressure-testing discipline

• Restraint, accountability, and self-control

• Leadership inside and outside the dojo

• Why mastery does not end with age, rank, or experience

This series is not about chasing belts or trophies—it’s about understanding the Martial Way as a lifelong pursuit of self-mastery.

With experience spanning point fighting, professional kickboxing, grappling, MMA, and international competition, Glenn Haley shares hard-earned lessons that extend far beyond the dojo.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The responsibility that comes with real fighting skill

• Legal, moral, and personal consequences of violence

• Competition as pressure-testing for discipline and mindset

• Ego, restraint, and knowing when not to fight

• Lessons learned from professional kickboxing and MMA

This is an essential conversation for serious martial artists, instructors, and anyone interested in real-world self-defense ethics.
