His writing is vivid, brutal, and real. It revels in graphic violence, blades and flowing blood, dark skies, screams, and steel. And the celebration of a crumbling empire's final, fatal collapse... and the dangerous world its corpse will leave behind.\nIn our conversation we discussed:\nHow being born without half a leg influences his approach to fighting and martial arts\nThe notion of a behavioral delivery system for how to communicate that you're a dangerous person before you have to demonstrate it\nThe limitations of most martial arts trainings in term of real-world applicability\nThe story of his books, including a description of his novel Onwards, a post-apocalyptic story of grief and revenge\nIndeed, as I hope you\u2019ll see, Jeff is very much a warrior poet.\nLINKS\nFollow Jeff on Instagram - @muchmoremayhem\nThe first poem of his I read - [011] \"Pragmatic Men\"\nVisit Jeff's website - MuchMoreMayhem.com\n\"Onwards\" The Novel, by Jeff Liboiron\n\"War\" by Jack London (short story)\n\"Sanction The Book\" by Roman McClay\nRichard Dimitri - A study of violence\nLee Morrison - Urban Combatives (YouTube)\nGeoff Thompson on London Real\n\"Heart of Darkness\" - by Joseph Conrad\n\"King of Dogs\" - by Andrew Edwards","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/077d5416-18ed-4332-a23d-bbdca2b970df/j_NeNa4rnItxJ1OYds7sRGv3.jpg"}
