#042 Master Pedro Sauer – On the Philosophy of Self Defence

January 27, 2026/by John Smallios

Master Pedro Sauer was in Sydney for a couple days and we were fortunate enough to record a podcast.

I had a bunch of questions prepared, and got to none of them!

Instead, it was a fantastic conversation centered around the philosophy and lifestyle of self defence.

Self defence isn’t just a bunch of moves on the wall. It is a philosophy to live by. I did my best to delve deep into this unique approach of Master Pedro.

It was an honour to have this chat, was so much fun, and we hope you enjoy it!
