Cameron fires questions at Alex without notice, ranging from genuinely useful martial arts advice to scenarios that probably don't need answering.

We discuss the biggest mistakes white belts make, what separates good and bad students, and whether everyone should compete at least once.

Then we find out who Alex would dress as for Halloween, which actor he thinks could transition successfully into real fighting if Tom Hardy isn't allowed and which martial arts figure from history he'd most like to train with.

Miyamoto Musashi also enters the conversation, although we're considerably less convinced we'd actually want him as our instructor.

We also look at what made Jackie Chan such a unique martial arts performer and why his combination of fighting ability, athleticism, stunt work, comedy and creativity has been so difficult to reproduce.

Serious martial arts discussion, ridiculous hypotheticals and the usual collection of completely unnecessary detours.

Welcome to Ask the Coach.
