Martial Art.
A term comprised of two words: "Martial" (Warlike) and Arts (Artform).
When most people think of Martial arts, they might think of fighting, violence, or self-defense. They think of its basic purpose: to hurt without being hurt.
However, most forget about the "Art" in Martial Art. In violence, there is beauty. It may not be apparent from the outside that this clashing of limbs and minds can be viewed as anything artful. But as humans, violence is in our blood. It has created many, and tore down many kingdoms.
Through the study of Martial Art, through this trial of combat we willingly (or unwillingly) participate in, we learn that Martial Art is not only an Art of Violence, but an Art of the Self. We learn more about ourselves
On this week's episode, we feature Niko Cañedo of The Green Room 905 (TGR 905). We've been training partners for many years and we sat down for the first time on this episode to talk about The Power of Martial Art, Mental Health, and How to Apply Yourself.
