Matt Charles // PART TWO - the mentality of martial arts and 12 hour fight for MS

Welcome to part two of my chat with Matt Charles, world class full contact fighter, respected business owner and family man. If you haven’t listened to part one yet, pause this episode now and listen to that one first. We will be here when you get back.

In this second part Matt lets us into the mentality behind his club environment, the lessons he’s learnt along the way. We also hear about his 12 hour fight in 2014 to raise money for a member of his community who was battling with MS. We get an insight into what he felt leading up to the event, what was happening during those last few hours and his recovery.

If you’ve listened to part 1, you’d know there’s a bit of background noise in this episode- what you can hear is what it’s like on a Saturday morning in the studio. It was so good to feel the community vibes especially since the extended period of time Melbourne spent in COVID lockdowns last year.  

Let’s get into part two with Matt.
