Cauliflower Philosophy
The mission of our podcast about martial arts mindsets is to explore and discuss the mental aspects of training in martial arts. We aim to inspire and educate our listeners on how to cultivate a warrior's mentality and apply it to their everyday lives. We believe that martial arts training goes beyond physical conditioning, and that a strong mindset is essential to achieving success both inside and outside the dojo. Through interviews with experts in martial arts and mental training, as well as personal stories and insights, we hope to provide our audience with practical tools and strategies for developing a powerful martial arts mindset. Our goal is to empower our listeners to overcome challenges, develop resilience, and reach their full potential in all areas of their lives.

Cauliflower Philosophy 41 - Joey Berkenbosch Born to Wrestle
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I’m still not fully convinced anyone in the fighting community can read.
But I’m not taking that gamble today.
Just in case one of you has miraculously avoided severe CTE and can still process written language…
No, I am not uploading grandma’s famous chili con carne recipe.
Instead, I’m describing something far more dangerous.
Joey Berkenbosch.
Professional MMA fighter. Wrestler. Middleweight menace.
A man who has won fights by TKO, by submission, and by making other grown men question their career choices.
In this episode we talk about:
– What it feels like to win in front of your own crowd
– Why wrestlers are built different
– The ego required to step into a cage… and the humility required to survive it
– Strength, suffering, discipline
– And what fighting teaches you about being a man in a world that’s getting softer by the day
Joey breaks down the mindset behind real combat not the Instagram version.
What it takes to grind. To coach. To carry responsibility. To step in when everyone else steps back.
No fluff.
No motivational quotes over piano music.
Just violence, philosophy, and cauliflower ears.
If you train… you’ll understand.
If you don’t… you probably should.
