Closing The Distance

My guest today is Ward Hiney, a self-defense instructor at Endeavor Defense & Fitness and a Krav Maga black belt.In this episode we discuss why combat sports are not bad for self-defense. In fact, we go a step further and argue that combat sports are better for self-defense than standard traditional martial arts and "reality-based" self-defense training, even potentially for weapons defense.This is another toe-stepper, and I know it's a controversial opinion, but hear out Ward's argument.
