In an exciting podcast episode, the host introduces his long-time friend and guest, Raphael Delgado. The conversation delves into Raphael's journey in the world of boxing and martial arts, showcasing his resilience and passion. The pandemic, which forced Raphael to navigate the challenges of his own gym business, sets the backdrop for the conversation. Amidst the setbacks, Raphael's determination and love for boxing shine through.

Raphael's early life in the tough neighborhoods of Toronto's Spadina and Queen area shapes his outlook on staying away from trouble. Despite the presence of crime and unsavory characters, he finds his way into sports, becoming a fan of wrestling and the "W." He steps into a boxing gym by chance, encouraged by a gym owner, and soon discovers his affinity for the sport.

The podcast takes a nostalgic turn as Raphael shares his experiences in an old-school boxing gym above a garage. Amidst the fumes and the presence of legendary fighters, Raphael hones his skills. He recounts how the gym served as a sanctuary for him, keeping him out of trouble and building his confidence.

The conversation then shifts to Raphael's foray into coaching. He opens up about how he stumbled upon coaching, initially just seeking a space to train. A chance encounter leads him to a gym in Brampton, where he finds himself teaching and coaching a growing number of students. His commitment to coaching stems from the desire to provide young individuals with an alternative to trouble and to impart the discipline and confidence that boxing gave him.

Throughout his coaching journey, Raphael explores various martial arts disciplines and cross-training. He emphasizes the importance of learning and adapting, highlighting his experiences at gyms like Combat Arts and his exposure to different styles. He shares anecdotes of meeting fellow fighters, including a mysterious character named Mark Strickland.

Raphael's reflections on the evolution of combat sports and the rise of MMA add depth to the conversation. He discusses the impact of fighters like Conor McGregor in rejuvenating the interest in boxing and bringing attention to various martial arts disciplines. The technical aspects of boxing, including its scientific approach and the mastery of techniques like the jab, become a focal point.

The podcast concludes on a note of appreciation for Raphael's dedication to coaching and his ability to impact young lives positively. His journey from a troubled neighborhood to a respected coach exemplifies the transformative power of sports and martial arts.

Listeners are left inspired by Raphael's story, which showcases the resilience, passion, and profound impact that martial arts and boxing can have on individuals and communities.
