On the Edge Radio:
Kelly Worden
Interviews Pete Kautz

Recently I was contacted by Datu Kelly Worden to be on his radio program, On the Edge.

Like so many wonderful things in life, it was a complete surprise. One minute I'm sipping my morning coffee and checking my e-mail, the next thing I know I'm on the phone with Kelly and he's telling me "Call back in 20 minutes and we'll do the show."

We spoke about Professor Remy Presas, Western martial arts, Jim Keating, and many other topics.

Datu Worden archives all of his radio programs afterwards, and has
tons of past shows available HERE that you can go through and listen to. These are not interviews that you will ever hear on NPR! A real treasure trove of martial musings - all for free. Salamat Po! (Thank You Sir)
