Dr. Kevin Keough, host of the Warrior Traditions podcast, interviews Mr. Darryl Johnson, MEDIA MOGULS, INCORPORATED (MMI) host and president.

Legally blinded by a rare genetic disease, retinitis pigmentosa, Mr. Darryl Johnson has dedicated himself to learning martial arts and helping others like himself to learn martial arts, both to stay in shape and protect themselves against attacks.

So it begins, at the age of 34, Mr. Darryl-James Johnson emerges from his sleep in a dream world where he cannot see most things and the few things he can see are a struggle to bring into focus. Later Mr. Johnson learns that he has been diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a degenerative genetic disease that typically starts with the loss of night and peripheral vision; and, over time total blindness can occur.

Darryl Johnson has been married for the past 15 years and has two kids.  Their ages are 5 and 10.  The support he receives from his family and the steadfast support he receives from Jesus Christ enables Mr. Johnson to cope with his eye disease.

Mr. Johnson is an advanced level martial artist however he does not consider himself an expert because he has not received his black belt. However, he has received a considerable amount of martial arts training and trains in isolation on a daily basis because Mr. Johnson believes martial arts helps to develop anatomical and environment awareness.

Mr. Johnson encourages others like himself to learn martial arts, both to cope with disability and protect themselves against attacks.  Although disabilities may make you vulnerable, Mr. Johnson does not believe that they have to make you helpless. To this end, Mr. Johnson produces the Internet-series Best Defense DEFENSE where Nine different martial arts’ masters from powerful and diverse styles have agreed to teach people who need them the most. This program is dedicated to helping people protect, defend, and project courage in every situation.
