In this podcast, Patrick Hynds and Steve Baroody will talk to different long-term practitioners of various martial arts, many of them masters, and explore the quiet part that no one usually addresses. That being that outside of sport there are no fair fights. The stated goal of almost all martial arts is to help practitioners to defend themselves, so we will explore how that goal is and is not being realized in the real world.
Patrick Hynds is a West Point graduate, decorated Gulf War veteran, Master of Uechi Ryu Karate-do, as well as a black belt in several other styles studied over the last 50 plus years. He has been hosting podcasts related to his company, Pulsar Security, on Cyber Security and Quantum Computing for years and has been a frequent guest on numerous podcasts for over 20 years.
Steve Baroody is an instructor in Modern Arnis, Isshinryu Karate, and Tomiki Aikido. A practicing chiropractor, he has been investigating the anatomy and physiology of self-defense for decades.
