In this episode of Empower, we sit down with James Devine from MKG North Dublin to explore a deeply personal martial arts journey.
James talks openly about starting martial arts at a young age, discovering Jeet Kune Do in Ireland at a time when it wasn’t widely available, and what it felt like searching for direction before finding the MKG family.
We dive into:
Training in JKD when there was very little access or structure in Ireland
Discovering MKG and realising “this is what I want to do”
Blending other influences into his training, including Irish stick fighting
Wearing different hats as a coach, instructor, and human being
Navigating identity, confidence, and being a little socially awkward while still leading from the front
This conversation isn’t about hype or highlights. It’s about belonging, evolution, and finding your place in martial arts—especially if you’ve ever felt like you didn’t quite fit the mould.
Whether you’re a coach, student, or someone still looking for their tribe, this one will resonate.
