Chris Collins is a martial artist, an actor, an action director, and a known name in the Hong Kong martial arts club circle. You've seen this US marine veteran last in the movie Ip Man 4 and he is nothing short of a motivational influence for his students and followers.

Today’s conversation is with Chris Collins.  Chris is a martial artist, an actor, an action director, and a known name in the Hong Kong martial arts club circle.  If you’re wondering why else that name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you’ve seen movies like Ip Man 4, Paradox, and Wolf Warrior.  This US Marine veteran is nothing short of a motivational influence for his students and followers.

In this episode, Chris shared about his early influences of hardiness, how those experiences prepped him for military resilience, finding his own pursuit of excellence in everything he chooses, being malleable with his path and goals, perspective through fatherhood and why the act of contribution to our world is important.

Y’all, you gotta check out this jiu-jitsu based non-profit called Tap Cancer Out.  

Tap Cancer Out unites the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community and empowers competitors to fight for more than just points and medals - they fight for those who are in the fight of their lives—and they’re helping Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation change the lives of children with cancer and their families by funding critical research grants and family services.  If you’re in the US, you can get involved through jiu-jitsu tournaments either competing or volunteering, as well as fundraise for TCO.  If you’re out of the US, you can still fundraise to benefit TCO, and you can get any of their super cool merch like rash guards, tees, hoodies, bags, and more.
