WDP021: Martial Arts as Systems

In this episode, I talk about something that has been on my mind a lot these last few years: how martial arts work as systems. They all have specific components, a structure and an internal logic, which can differ wildly from one art to the next. I dig into this a bit to explain why a lot of discussions about martial arts and self-defense systems go wrong all too often. Enjoy! Show notes: 1. Intro: Sword fighting geometry and so much more... 2. Martial arts as systems: Thinking in Systems: A Primer Randy's Law Bob Orlando's Martial Arts America, Thanks for listening!
