FS 66 – Queer Self-Defense and UFC 250 w/ Jacky
from Southpaw · host Southpaw
We talk with martial arts trainer Jacky about their queer self-defense project that offers free self-defense and MMA classes to the queer and trans community. We also discuss how Brazilian jiu-jitsu is similar to but also different from such activities as parkour and skateboarding. We also dive into the challenges and benefits of starting your own training collective as a novice. Lastly, we discuss the main card of UFC 250. The queer perspective on MMA is one that is nonexistent in the discourse, which is why you need to listen to this episode. You might just find our discussion is better than most of the other ways MMA is presented. We can't continue to produce important episodes like this one without your solidarity. There is no Southpaw without you and your financial support. In return, not only do you help produce the show but you also get access to more great content. It's mutual aid.
