"Grab grass."That's what the ex-Marine instructor barked at Kyle Kingsbury. He was just 8 years old.On all fours, they'd grip chunks of turf between their fingers. Then something wild happened...Face mask to face mask. Full contact. Raw intensity.This wasn't your modern "safety first" football practice. This was old school brutality - the kind that's banned today.And Kyle? He absolutely loved it.That early taste of controlled violence sparked something in him. Something that would later save his life when he hit rock bottom.But here's what's fascinating...After training with UFC legends like Anderson Silva and Daniel Cormier at AKA (one of the world's most feared fight camps), Kyle discovered something crucial about violence.It wasn't about being the toughest. Or the most skilled.The real secret? It came from an unexpected source - a tiny Native American boxing coach who moved "like a hummingbird."This coach revealed ancient wisdom about violence, respect, and power that completely transformed Kyle's approach.I recently got Kyle to break down these insights in detail. Including stuff he's never shared publicly before.For better ways to protect yourself and your family go to:https://surviveviolence.com/?utm_source=youtubeFor more information on the courses we mentioned visit:https://targetfocustraining.com/self-defense-training/ Subscribe to The Tim Larkin Podcast on all major podcast platforms for more exhilarating discussions, expert insights, and powerful strategies that will transform your life.
