The JW Fails & Kurt McKinney Interview Part 2 "No Retreat, No Surrender"

“Marchial Arts Madness” continues! JW Fails and Kurt McKinney are back to celebrate the 40th anniversary of No Retreat, No Surrender and discuss the documentary The Untold Story of No Retreat No Surrender!

In 2025, JW Fails (NRNS, Lambada, The New Leave It To Beaver) & Kurt McKinney (NRNS, Sworn To Justice, The Last Kumite) came on $2 Late Fee to talk about NRNS and the subsequent documentary that was nearing production. One year later, the documentary is complete and out! JW & Kurt are back to talk about the doc, its premiere in Germany, and much more! Btw, NRNS’s Pete “Sugarfoot” Cunningham will be on $2LF in two weeks! Don’t miss it!
