Manage episode 441612647 series 3483640
Expect to get the everyday perspective on what the Ultimate Self Defence Championships are, the reaction to the show, what really happens in a knife fight, how Craig the 'normal Aussie bloke' did vs trained martial artists, his own experience taking part, traditional arts vs combat sports, female self defence, if Aikido really works (it doesn't!) and much more.
Rokas did Aikido for more than 15 years, taught it and ran a professional dojo. Eventually he became disillusioned with Aikido and moved on to train combat sports such as BJJ, MMA and kickboxing. He has documented his journey on his YouTube channel @MartialArtsJourney where he also created the Ultimate Self Defence Championships (USDC). The USDC see's 6 martial artist take part in self defence scenarios to see what actually works.
