AER 146: Martial Arts Pedagogy and Politics

If politics is in everything, then what are the politics of martial arts as they’re studied and practiced today? For audiences of this show, it’s not a pretty sight. But Sam from Liberationist MA is trying to do things differently. He joins to talk about his play-based martial arts pedagogy, the world view it’s embedded in, as we make invidious comparisons from our own lives about how we were taught the martial arts. Reposted from the Youtube channel if you caught it there already.
