"From 30 to 37 and for the rest of my life, I'll be a martial artist. The goal is to have a healthy body and a healthy mind so that my spirit is strong."
In the latest episode of The War Podcast, hosts Dustin Hawkins and Frankie Day sit down with UFC veteran Josh Burkman to explore his journey in martial arts and the life lessons he's gathered along the way. Known for his fierce presence in the ring, Burkman shares insights into the power of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and spiritual awareness, drawing from his extensive career in professional fighting.
As Burkman approaches the end of his fighting career, he's focused on life beyond the ring. At 37 years old, with 45 professional fights under his belt, he reflects on the importance of preparing for retirement. He is committed to ensuring a smooth transition by embracing new challenges and finding ways to give back to his community. His vision involves setting up a non-profit organization aimed at helping children understand the benefits of movement, yoga, breath, and community engagement.
Burkman's journey hasn't been without its challenges. From a young age, he was fearless and often reckless, a lifestyle that eventually led him to the brink. It was through hitting rock bottom and spiritual introspection that he found a path to healing, allowing him to maintain a sharp edge in both body and mind. He emphasizes that a strong spirit is essential for leading a fulfilling life, a philosophy that has kept him active and motivated in his career.
The episode also introduces listeners to the Weekly Challenge, a segment designed to inspire personal growth. This week's challenge encourages listeners to disconnect for an hour-long walk, engage with uplifting audio, and send out positive messages to reconnect with loved ones. Burkman's message is clear: by using platforms to promote wellness, former athletes can foster stronger communities and inspire others to lead healthier lives.
As he continues to evolve beyond fighting, Burkman remains committed to spreading positivity and connecting with people through his social media channels under his name, Josh Burkman. Join Dustin, Frankie, and Josh for this engaging conversation, where they explore the intersections of physical health, spiritual growth, and community support, all while keeping those edges sharp.
