The Way of the Shark (part one) Redux

Jamie Clubb"s Podcast ·

2025/07/15

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the motion picture "Jaws", I present a re-recording of "The Way of the Shark" with a new 8-minute introduction. Part one of this classic podcast looks at the rise of ground grappling in the mid 1990s. Jean Jacques Machado once said "I am a shark, the ground is my ocean, and most people don’t know how to swim."

This episode covers the first half George Foreman's boxing career. Foreman was once the most feared boxer of his generation. An angry man, he ploughed his way through the heavyweight division until he faced the legendary Muhammad Ali. Foreman's early career saw a large amount of foreshadowing, such how fear was used as a weapon but also how love could also win the day.
