#15: Master Ken – Lethality, The Way of Ameri-Do-Te
Show Notes

“My goal was always to see how quickly I could hurt or paralyze every opponent.”—Master Ken

My guest this is episode is the most famous martial arts master in history, the founder of Ameri-Do-Te, the one and only, Master Ken.  Master Ken is the founder of Ameri-Do-Te which is an American street fighting system.  You may know him as the Professor of Pain, he has a Master’s degree in Mutilation, and a Doctorate in Destruction.

This episode is all about Master Ken’s greatest gift to the martial arts world, the creation of his style Ameri-Do-Te.  In this episode we discuss how he dissected the ingredients of every fighting style to create his own martial arts stew based in Lethality.  Lethality has always been his goal, and his main concern was how quickly he could hurt or paralyze his opponents.  My key takeaway is how honest and free Master Ken’s approach to martial arts and life is, he never worries about what other people think, and always expresses himself regardless of the consequences.  Stay tuned for one of the most exciting, eye opening, and enlightening conversations I have ever had.
