I talk to Rokas from Martial Arts Journey @usdc.rokasleo about his upcoming event (Ultimate Self Defense Championship). Let's also talk martial arts and life in general. This was a great talk that also talked about Joseph Campbell's Hero's journey as well as teased other future guests of the channels.
Please check out Roka's event here that will be attended by icymike, jeff chan, sensei seth, and Ramsey Dewey: indiegogo.com/projects/ultimate-self-defense-championship--2#
