The Grey Range Podcast - Episode 11 w/ Laine Ingalls - "Play"
Heiho Dojo
Laine Ingalls
There are some who would say that human beings have become lesser of a species over time. That we have become weaker, dumber, less articulate. Those people have never met Laine Ingalls.
In this episode, Lucas Orich and I are joined by Laine Ingalls, owner of Heiho Dojo here in Grande Prairie, Alberta.

Initially, Laine cuts an imposing figure. In another time, I’m sure he would be at home on some ancient battlefield, swinging a battle axe and conquering lands and armies. But it doesn’t take long to learn that his stature belies a warm smile, a sharp mind, and a fiery enthusiasm for what he cares for. What does he care for? Fighting.
From his beginnings as a young boy watching 80’s marital arts flicks with his older brother, to training and competing in shady fight promotions in British Columbia, Canada, to returning home to Alberta to open his own school, and the lessons he has learned through the years, Laine was good enough to take the time to share with us some stories from his life. Some big wins, big defeats, and lots of laughter.
