0:00 | 46:36

In this powerful episode of The Wellness Dojo Podcast, host Kyle Craik sits down with TJ Sheehan, founder of Gloves Not Guns, a program that offers free boxing and martial arts training to at-risk youth from troubled backgrounds, including gangs, addiction, and jail. TJ opens up about his own past in gangs and drugs, a failed suicide attempt, and how martial arts and community helped him turn his life around.

Together, they explore how the principles of martial arts—connection, community, discipline, and self-love—can transform lives and offer hope to those who need it most. If you're looking for inspiration and real stories of redemption, this episode is a must-listen.
