  • THE TOP 15 ANIME CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME

    THE TOP 15 ANIME CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME

    Why We See Ourselves in These Legends—and Why That Still Matters By Sensei Will Esparza | Friendly Neighborhood Sensei Back in the ‘90s, if you were caught watching anime in America, people laughed. You were labeled weird, immature, or "into cartoons." I remember getting clowned for being obsessed with Dragon Ball Z, while I was literally learning more about honor, loyalty, self-improvement, and discipline from those characters than anything I saw in regular TV or school. But everything changed. WHEN TOONAMI HIT AMERICA It was 1997when Toonamihit Cartoon Network—and that changed the culture forever. Suddenly, American kids were watching Goku power up, Kenshin clash ....

    COSPLAY, CONVENTIONS & COMMUNITY

    How the Rise of Comic Cons Shaped a Generation—and House of Dragons By Sensei Will Esparza | House of Dragons Magazine – Issue #1 Back in the day, nerd life was something you kept quiet. You didn’t tell everyone you could quote Vegeta, line-for-line. You didn’t walk into school with a Trigun tee or bring your custom lightsaber to gym class. But now? If you can’t spot a comic book Easter egg in a Marvel post-credit scene, you’re the one who’s lost. We’re living in a full-on nerd renaissance—and honestly, it’s beautiful.

  • Karate: The Godfather of MMA

    I’ve been doing martial arts my whole entire life. Since I was 5 years old, karate has been my base. My foundation. And now at 33, after 25+ years of nonstop training across disciplines—Capoeira, Wing Chun, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Boxing, Fencing, Swordsmanship—I’ve fallen deeply in love with not just the practice, but the history and culture that martial arts bring to your soul. Now let’s rewind to where it all started—me, 5 years old, training hard for my first white belt. I didn’t even earn that until I was 10, but I was grinding. Then, I got my second dan at 12, third dan at 21, and finally earned my master rank at 27. ....

  • Living and Training in Thailand: A Journey into Martial Arts

    Being the martial arts fanatic that I am, I’ve watched just about every major martial arts film imaginable. From "Way of the Dragon" featuring Bruce Lee versus Chuck Norris, to classics like "Kickboxer" and "Bloodsport" starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, and iconic works like "Drunken Master" and "Meals on Wheels" with Jackie Chan, my passion for martial arts has been lifelong. However, it was "Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior," which introduced the world to Tony Jaa, that left an indelible mark on me. At around 10-12 years old, I was already a 2nd Dan Black Belt, yet I craved a more hardcore fighting approach than the point karate I was practicing at the time. My sensei encouraged me and ....

  • The Transformative Power of Travel: Life Skills Gained Through Martial Arts Journeys

    As a lifelong martial artist for over 25 years, I've had the privilege of experiencing extraordinary adventures at the highest levels of the sport. Some of my fondest memories stem from my early 20s when I embraced a nomadic lifestyle, traveling the world like a ronin. I didn’t simply visit new locations—I lived in the UK, Europe, Asia, and the great United States, where I was flown out to build martial arts studios and cover upcoming gyms for media coverage, not just to train. Through martial arts, I encountered diverse cultures, customs, tastes, and scents that have enriched my life beyond measure.
