Episode 82. The Most Spirited Man In The Dojo
The conversation
About Silas Gibson.
Silas Gibson sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 82, “The Most Spirited Man In The Dojo”.
Silas is an Isshinryu karateka from Kingsport, Tennessee, and a regular at the Isshinryu Hall of Fame. Growing up, his nickname was Smiley.
He credits his parents and his faith for his positive outlook, though he admits he sometimes has to catch himself drifting into a negative mindset.
After a tournament, Silas gives himself 24 hours to gripe about the judges and the results, then moves on. He talks about getting out of your comfort zone and treating every match like it could be the last one.
