Reconciling Martial Arts Tradition with New Information - Episode 168
Martial Arts Tradition vs Progress
Episode excerpt:Tradition is often held onto as gospel, but in many cases, it seems like it's a crutch. If we hold up the tradition as the only important thing, it means that we don't have to continue developing a new understanding of our craft, but we do. As much as I love the fact that General Choi put all of his taekwondo knowledge into an encyclopedia, it also makes me sad because those that train that style may never grow beyond what we wrote down...On today's episode, we reference our episodes with Mr. Tony Blauer & Mr. Chris Sutton.
