On this episode of the podcast, I am joined by Sean Leal who is a Black Belt Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor and was my professor at the Yorkdale Martial Arts Academy. I asked Sean to come on the podcast because he has a wealth of knowledge about martial arts history which I’m keen to learn more about. I also wanted to ask Sean about his first hand experience in personal protection and which parts of martial arts training in his opinion translate to effective self defense in street fighting. Lastly, Sean talked about brain damage and shared his experience with post traumatic stress disorder in the last third of the podcast. It’s a long, two and half hour podcast so strap yourselves in.
