"Why I Quit Taekwondo" Controversy with Sensei Ando

"Why I Quit Taekwondo" was a video uploaded to YouTube by Sensei Andrew "Ando" Mierzwa in December, 2019. This video, generating over 300,000 views, amassed a lot of discussion and controversy over the content, or perhaps, over the title. Does Sensei Ando hate Taekwondo? Is Sensei Ando a real martial artist? Why did Sensei Ando publish this video? Marc Zirogiannis decided that rather than talk about this video and its meaning to talk directly to the man and the martial artist. In a revealing interview with Taekwondo Life Magazine Sensei Ando answers these questions and more. Sensei Ando, despite the controversy, reveals himself to be a real martial artist in pursuit of helping people achieve their maximum potential through his "Happy Life Martial Arts" platform.To find out more about Sensei Ando:His main website: http://www.senseiando.com/His podcast is Fight for a Happy Life. http://www.senseiando.com/fight-for-a-happy-life/Support the show (https://squareup.com/store/tae-kwon-do-life-magazine/item/podcast-support-donation)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
