Conrad and Evan discuss where Martial Arts and Religion intersect, where they collide and where they differ.  Conrad approaches things from a Buddhist background and lifelong martial artists who has explored lots of religions.  Evan approaches things from his Orthodox Christian background, his research into other faiths and experience in combatives/traditional arts.  It's an interesting episode for sure and one that is sure to make you question things.

Are firearms a new tool that should be shunned? or just another weapon in the long history of weapons that should be incorporated into a martial artists arsenal?  Plus, where should you look to if you want to train firearms?  Can we just train firearms instead of striking and grappling?  Patrick, Conrad and Evan discuss the topic and much more in this look into the "great equalizer".

Will Leong is a legend in the stunt world and the head of the Tiga Tactic's Stunt Division.  His resume speaks for itself working on movies like The Matrix Reloaded and Avengers.  He didn't just find himself in this world though, it was through hard work, persistence and dedication.  This mirrors his background in martial arts training in traditional styles and being a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
