Season 4 kicks off with a powerful conversation as we welcome our newest Corvo Martial Arts affiliate: Donny Bowden of Soda City Combat Club in Columbia, South Carolina.

In this episode, Donny talks about what it was like spending an entire week training inside Corvo — living the grind, absorbing details, and experiencing the culture firsthand. He shares what surprised him, what challenged him, and what he’s taking back to elevate his own team at Soda City.

We dive into:

• What a week inside Corvo is really like
• How Donny plans to implement technique, structure, and culture back home
• The mindset behind building a strong affiliate team
• Why he’s already planning his next trip to Texas

This is an inside look at what it means to grow, evolve, and align with a team that shares your goals. A true blueprint for the future of the Corvo affiliate network.

Welcome to Season 4. Let’s get after it.

In this episode, Tony sits down with Mike, a Corvo Martial Arts student, to talk about starting martial arts later in life and staying motivated through the challenges of age and recovery. They share stories about first days on the mat, the wild legacy of the Gracie family, and the fascinating history behind Empire of the Summer Moon — the story of Quanah Parker, the last Comanche Chief of Texas. A mix of laughs, lessons, and real talk about life, mindset, and Jiu-Jitsu.

In Season 3, Episode 9 of the Kings of Kimuras Podcast, Tony sits down with Edgar from Phalanx, one of the driving forces behind one of the most recognized No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu brands in the world.

Edgar shares his inspiring story of leaving the stability of a regular 9–5 job to pursue his passion for Jiu-Jitsu full-time, joining Phalanx and helping shape the brand’s global presence. The conversation dives into:

• What it really takes to transition from a “normal” career into the Jiu-Jitsu industry
• How creativity and authenticity fuel the Phalanx brand
• The business and culture behind building a successful grappling company
• Staying connected to the mats while running a growing brand

This is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever dreamed about turning their passion into their profession — or wondered what it takes to succeed behind the scenes in the Jiu-Jitsu world.
