Fighting still into his late 70s, Tips on Vitality and Power from Martial Arts Legend - Pat Worley

On this episode of Crackin' Backs, we have the honor of speaking with martial arts legend Pat Worley. With over 55 years of experience, Pat holds a 10th-degree black belt in Karate and a 2nd-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. As a pioneer in the martial arts world, Pat has shaped thousands of black belts and continues to teach and inspire at over 76 years old.

We'll explore the rich history of martial arts that has captivated Pat throughout his life, from the early days of Karate to the evolution of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Pat shares his thoughts on how martial arts has changed over the decades, particularly the commercialization and sportification of these once-traditional disciplines. He also delves into the impact of martial arts on character development, especially in today's tech-driven world, and the lessons he's learned from his high-profile fights, including his iconic bout against Bill Wallace for the World Middleweight title.

As someone who continues to compete and win at the highest levels, including the Pan Ams, Pat provides unique insights into how he's adjusted his training as he's aged, balancing skill maintenance with the limitations of the body. Tune in for a conversation filled with wisdom, resilience, and incredible stories from a martial arts master who's lived—and continues to live—an extraordinary life.
