Triple Threat Martial Arts Seminar in London, Ontario
Yesterday, I attended a Triple Threat seminar in London, Ontario, featuring Professors Steve Stewart, Ken Smith, and Leon Jay. During the day, each instructor took turns teaching their respective arts.
Professor Ken Smith used me as uke to share his Modern Arnis expertise, demonstrating a fun knife flow drill that captivated the audience. Meanwhile, Professor Leon Jay threw us around with his Small Circle Ju-Jitsu skills, showcasing his mastery of leverage, sensitivity and efficiency of his throws. Additionally, Professor Steve Stewart applied his Pressure point knowledge to a Kenpo technique, emphasizing the critical points along the body that could incapacitate an opponent with minimal effort. Throughout the seminar, each professor’s unique approach and specialization opened our eyes to the diverse and rich tapestry of martial arts, leaving us inspired and eager to learn more.
As is my habit, I picked all their brains during the Triple Threat seminar, looking for insights into the conceptual underpinnings of their respective arts. I came away with a few nuggets to practice later. To be clear, I don’t attend seminars to collect techniques—maybe I did when I was much younger—but nowadays, I look for the finer details and tweaks to improve my art.
I will use the same approach when I attend next weekend’s Small Circle Jiu Jitsu Summer Camp. Many instructors will be available to teach, and I look forward to expanding my horizons!

Small Social Media Tweak
I recently tweaked the settings of my Instagram account to automatically share Posts, Reels, and Stories to my Facebook Page. Since my blog posts are automatically published there, I decided to automatically share my Instagram feed with my Facebook page. However, there is one limitation. Instagram does not provide for the automatic sharing of carousels. Speaking of which, check out my first video carousel below. Be sure to swipe left. 😉
Furthermore, I can automatically share my Posts to my Threads account. However, automatic sharing of Reels is not yet available. Fortunately, sharing Reels manually to Threads is not that hard. So, if you’re on Threads, check me out there!
Does that mean I’m now a fan of Meta? Are you kidding? Nope.
